Doh. I knew I was forgetting something. ;) Thanks. So now that I got serial console working, I know why the system isn't booting. Turns out the kernel seems to panic when it tries to start init: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 80k freed EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,1)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #2: unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=46, rec_len=47, name_len=0 Warning: unable to open an initial console. Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I can boot up the machine with the original kernel (with the bfd command), and it boots fine, so I don't believe there is a problem with the hard drive. The filesystems are fine, too, and run fine under the other kernel. What is causing this error? -Nik -- Nik Reiman // [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\ http://www.aboleo.net
