I don't really have a clue as to what is going on with your computer only booting into Linux every now and then. I'm just suggesting things for a wierd situation.

All 3 of my Linux installs are on seperate drives and from Linux POV;

sda > Amiga on the orginal HD.
sdb > Debian 7.3 on a CF card adapted to the PATA port.
sdc > Mint 11 on a second SATA HD.
sdd > Mint 11 on the internal CF card CF0.

All my various Linux kernels are on a smallish FAT partition on CF0, but not in folders.

AND! Ta-daaaaa, none of the drives change there letter designation, not even 'just for fun'. :-O

Well,,,,,, as you mentioned, until you're back up and running.........

Could you please post your printenv output. Probably I can learn from that to do better. With me:
sda is the original built in disk of 1TB.
SDB is a additional 2 TB Disk, used for backup purposes.
Probably it would have been better to use sdb for linux. I will change that later.

Hi, I am now on again!
Solution was to rename the vmlinux to vmlinux-3.10.15. Copied all files from the 3.15 folder to root of cf0: an here we go!
Thank you for your printenv from that I learned everything!
Now it works for 12.04 and I will copy all the other kernels into the root directory of cf0: with their appropriate names.
Could not test that due to lack of time.

Now I have tested it with different kernels and it worked!
Suggest that a remark should be made in the documentation to the effect that all kernels have to reside in the root of the CF card.
