*never* had to do that on debian or rh! Are you using reiserfs on your
boot disk? If so, then if you ever get it to boot, then you'll be real
lucky! Try with ext3 and see if that helps.
You can try making your own initrd... move the current one out of the way
first.
cd /boot
mv initrd-2.6.9-x1.gz initrd-2.6.9-x1.gz.old
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.9-x1.gz 2.6.9-x1
and reboot.
Have tried this significant exercise, but there was no changed result.
N.B. Curiously, although mkinitrd "-o outfile Write to outfile" is an
option here on Ubuntu, it doesn't exist on Xandros. -k made it work
there (iirc), though it did not mean "-k Keep temporary directory used
to make the image" like here.
Willing to keep trying more techniques though.
Thanks, Rik
