Hello everyone,
I am looking for a way to query the path, or a way to tell which
kernel I booted up with. I use lilo to change between kernels I am
testing, and my standard kernel.

try

uname -a

this should give the kernel version, I presume each of your kernels is a
differebt version

Actually, that is the problem, they all have the same version (I'm testing
for different patches on a particular version).
That's a step in the right direction, thank you.

"ps e1" will show the environment of the init process, which includes
"BOOT_IMAGE", which should tell you what the boot image was. AFAIK it
relates to the lilo configuration which was booted.
