Troubleshooting if it doesn't work:
* If you select Parted Magic and the screen just blinks
double check the path in your menu entry KERNEL images/pmagic/bzImage
* If it starts and doesn't boot completely,
double check the images/pmagic/initrd.img menu entry INITRD /pmagic/initrd.img
* Still nothing, I problably messed up something on this page. post on forum link
