Wow. Thanks! That got me into my system. > Now I just need to figure out how to avoid busybox to begin with... Ditto. > On a roll... After updating evms and udev the machine starts without > ending up at busybox, but I do receive the following in dmesg: I'm not using evms. When I got into my system, just for good measure, I ran apt-get --reinstall install udev At the end of the install, I still got the following message: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-486 has been altered. Cannot update. I followed Daniel's advice and tried update-initramfs -u, which gave the same error. That lead me to the right man page and some googling. I finally ran update-initramfs -k `uname -r` -t -u That worked, and now I'm booting fine. Thanks everyone! I notice that my LVM on RAID seem to be loading at boot time, too. Hooray! Of course, now KMail is segfaulting when I try to start it. /me sighs Thanks for all of the suggestions, ---Tom -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
