Re: gentoo

well, it looks like genkernel has set you up with an initial ram disk
(initrd). I don't have any experience with that.

the lilo.conf file will tell you where your kernel is that you're booting
from though. (unless the lilo.conf file has been changed after you ran
lilo to set the kernel and the boot-time options).

look for /boot/kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r9 and
/boot/initrd-2.4.26-gentoo-r9. those should be your kernel and your
inital ram disk.
