Hi I try to use kernel 2.6.9 on my debian linux: using the .config file from kernel 2.4.18 and doing "make menuconfig oldconfig" gives a kernel that boot without problems. I tried a few things and I'm stuck with the a non booting kernel: it can't find the root directory and adding root=0305 in lilo (/ is on /dev/hda5) does not change anything.
Below are a description of my pc from win98 and a comparaison of the two config files diff config_that_crash config_that_work Thanks for any advice !
