In /boot/grub/grub.conf file there is a line
kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2, What is the
meaning of "/" before vmlinuz? Pls explain?

Answer Posted / bajira

In this line, "/" refers to /boot. As you can see, root=/dev/sda2, it means the root is mounted in 1st partition of sda device. So the mount will be refereed as /root and inside that /boot will be available. So /vmlinuz-version will be available in /boot/vmlinuz.
