This looks like you are using an initrd? With modern Debian kernels you need an initramfs. See the mkinitramfs command in the initramfs-tools package. Did you manually make an initrd? I'd be surprised to find that current Debian kernels would attempt that on their own. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
