I recompiled my kernel, and must have turned off (or turned to modules) the required pieces to read my hard drive @ boot time.
Both of the other heretofore bootable kernels on the machine (all 2.4.18) result in the same error during the boot process, and booting from A: results in a similar message.
Because of some bad backups, I really need to recover the informaiton, if there is no software/command_line solution, what should I do?
Debian 3.0 woody/stable, ATA HD
