 Hrm... any other ideas?

What does your menu.lst contain and what does /boot contain?

 I can't seem to use the 2.6.24 Debian kernel. Whenever I boot up, grub
 reports Error 15 File Not Found. I can fall back on my old 2.6.23 kernel
 and it works just fine. Using tab-completion in the command line editor
 feature of grub, I can confirm that the files are there. They just won't
 load!

I solved the problem. My /boot/grub/device.map file had the entries for
hda and sda swapped. When you switch the boot partition from one drive
to another, you should update that file. :)

Cheers,

No... tab-completion in the grub bootloader confirms the initrd is
there. Within the system, the file is non-zero and appears to be

grub Error 15 File not found

2008-02-19 Thread Stephen Olander-Waters 
Debian unstable with latest updates
Debian 2.6.24 amd64 kernel

I can't seem to use the 2.6.24 Debian kernel. Whenever I boot up, grub
reports Error 15 File Not Found. I can fall back on my old 2.6.23 kernel
and it works just fine. Using tab-completion in the command line editor
feature of grub, I can confirm that the files are there. They just won't
load!

More details:
Dual opteron 244 system
MSI K8T-Master2FAR motherboard
recently switch from booting off hda to sda when I got a new drive
old kernel boots fine
update-grub runs fine
tried turning on/off savedefault
tab-completion finds the 2.6.24 kernel and initrd
separate, small /boot partition. not full.


Thank you for any help!
