Well, yes and no. On new installs, it works just fine, so maybe the best solution for you is to boot the debian-installer in rescue mode, and regenerate the ramdisk or something. Now, do i understand it correctly that : 1) you used to run a 2.4.27 kernel (i wonder why, this one is no more supported since early 2005 or even earlier on the pegasos). 2) you installed a debian 2.6.x kernel. Was it a 2.6.8 from sarge, or a more recent 2.6.1[567] from etch/sid ? 3) you are using initramfs-tools or yaird for generating the ramdisk (if you have 2.6.1[567] that is). If you replied to these questions (again maybe, sorry, but it is good to restart from a common ground), i will try my best to solve this issue.
