| I've got Debian Sarge running on my laptop, using the stock 2.4.23
kernel. However, any attempt to boot 2.6.7-1 results in successful
detection of hard disks and some other hardware (rockets by too fast
to read), then many repetitions of:
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.7/modules.dep: No
such file or directory
(I do have a modules.dep and even ran depmod manually to be sure it
was there.)
Then after multiple modprobe errors, I get:
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 424: cannot open /dev/console: No such file
Kernel panix: Attempted to kill init!
.... and a permanent stop, as you might expect. I get this with both
the stock Debian 2.6.7-686 kernel (this box uses a Mobile Celeron)
and with a custom-compiled one.
Any suggestions?
I'm not sure what information would be helpful to kernel experts --
if requested I'd be glad to post my lilo.conf, partition table, etc.
The inability to find a device makes me wonder if this is about the
new system for naming devices, but I don't know enough about it to
even speak intelligently.
Thanks for any help.
