The need of knowing more, by teaching the "newbies". Thanks for all interest of each one who helped. Maarten: "If you have no hda, or if hda is the CDrom, it may be prudent to change the cabling so that linux is on the /dev/hda device. Altough it is possible to boot from the slave drive, but it is more straightforward to boot from the master, and you may save yourself some headaches." Yes, I have a CDROM as /dev/hda, and I really thought it would bring me some troubles. Of course I can change it. But, I know (as you also said) it is possible to boot from a slave hard disk. I haven't tested, but it is like a poor solution, for I wouldn't be learning. I honestly am almost considering going back to LILO and try after, but that would not be learning. Holly Bostick: "Ummm... isn't there supposed to be a system.map for the kernel as well?" Yes, I think. Should I hen modificate grub config file, as in LILO ? if yes, how and where to make this change ? In addition, there is a very good article about the topic "system.map" in http://www.dirac.org/linux/system.map/. Mostly for debugging. also, the command "ps" make some use of it. I copied the following: # cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-gentoo-2.6.12-gen= too-r10 PS.: thanks for this valuable =800.02 !! 8) --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
