This almost certainly won't work, as the kernel-image doesn't have enough drivers to boot more or less any system. These are provided by the initrd image. I would suspect that the prblem is that mkinitrd is not adding the drivers that are needed for your system to the initrd image. With this in mind I am reassigning the bug to initrd-tools. Do you have any idea what modules are required for your system. Do you have a working 2.6 debian kernel image. If so could you provide the output of lsmod. Ditto for 2.4, though that is probably less useful. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
