Hello,
I have just noticed a bug in the kernel install scripts. I have to manually fix my /boot/menu.lst.
I am using a January install of debian sarge.
I had this in my /boot/menu.lst =================================================== title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-386 root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/sda3 ro hda=ide-scsi initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 savedefault boot
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-386 (recovery mode) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/sda3 ro single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 savedefault boot
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST ==================================================
After installing an optimised kernel that file was broken, my " hda=ide-scsi" addition params were droped from my origional i386 kernel, and not replicated to my new kernel!
