[ILUG] Kernel fun

[Dave Airlie]

this means it found your kernel .. so ignore all lilo stuff.. it fails
before init boot you have either set the wrong root device it should print
someat and tell you, forgot to add ELF binary support modularised it or
someat ...

or did something like compile it for i686 on i586 or so on ..

Dave.
