That's got it - I don't know what a 'good' -k argument looks like, 'path' is 'meaningless' if you don't deal with kernels regularly. e.g. Appending 'e.g. /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-70-generic' would do it. >> (I tried mindi --findkernel on that system, it couldn't find a kernel, >> thus my posting the message.) > > ANd that should be fixed !

Mostly, I suspect, because it all 'just works' most of the time. |
