See down at the bottom.
Thanks ... but i screwed something up. I'm wondering if there's something about my hardware that doesnt work with 2.6.8 because the error i am getting now is i think the same error i was getting when i tried to do the latest sarge install.
i ran mkinitrd, then ran apt, it created its own initrd img file. I edited lilo to point to the new file, ran lilo -v, it ran without any errors.
I rebooted assuming lilo would give me a choice as to which kernel i wanted to boot into. It didnt. Linux starts to load and then fails with the following lines:
nforce2 ide controller at pci slot 0000:00:09.0 nforce2 chipset revision 162 nforce2 not 100% native mode, will probe irqs later nforce2 bios didnt set cable bits correctly, enabling workaround
<few more lines of text with nothing that looked like an error>
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table NTFS driver 2.1.15 flags R/O MODULE pivot_root: no such file or directory /sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: no such file kernel panic: attempted to kill init!
I'll do some more searching on nforce2 and chipset 162. Any other suggestions?
thanks for the help,
Ian
