Yub, another Debian noobie here. I am also running Fedora 4 i386_64 and this is my first install of Debian a couple days ago using a DVD from the magazine Linux Format. When I installed the 2.4.27 XX kernel was installed but I'd like to go up to the 2.6.8-11-emt64t-p4-smp kernel as I've got a dual Xeon emt64 3.2Ghz system.
Reading the messages from the past month others are trying similar and initially getting similar results: cannot open /dev/console, Kernel Panic. One suggestion was for the SATA drives to be listed as sdxx in grub for the 2.6 kernels and another user suggested recreating the initrd image and also possibly using rdev. Lastly another user said that there was quite a few differences between the installations with the 2.4 vs 2.6 kernels and had installed with linux26 ?? Should I download a current CD image (eg debian-testing-ia64-netinst.iso) and try it or use the i386 install version?
