Now, I'm really confused. I haven't been able to get any of the 2.4.x debian kernel packages to boot and everything I had read previously in the list archives indicated that the initrd line was necessary for 2.4.x kernels. I never had any problems with 2.0.x or 2.2.x kernels. ===== - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"
