This is my hard drive partition in Linux
/dev/hda
hda2
hda7 ext3
hda8 ext3
What partitions on the mount point do hda7 and hda8
correspond to?
and so in grub.conf file I have edited by adding the
following info
title red hat linux (2.4.21)
root (hd0,7)
Kernel /vmlinux-2.4.21 ro root=/dev/hda8
Initrd /initrd.img
You actually have to copy vmlinuz and name it as
vmlinuz-2.4.21. vmlinuz is compressed version of
vmlinux.
'k' in "kernel" is small letter. 'i' in "initrd" is
small letter. A typo?
Check these links:

"15 : File not found
This error is returned if the specified file name
cannot be found, but everything else (like the
disk/partition info) is OK."
p.s : after I gave #make dep it gave an info stating
kernel size is too big for the system to
install.
That is ok. Usually large kernels you can't fit into a
floppy. Hence you usually do "make zImage". Since we
are using the hard disk, we can ignore the message.
