I've Googled this, but no joy. Must be searching for the wrong
strings.
Currently running linux-image-2.6.14-1-686, which seems to be working
fine. Sound, mouse, boot speed, etc all normal.
$ uname -a
Linux haggis 2.6.14-1-686 #1 Tue Nov 1 15:51:43 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
$ cd /boot
$ dir *2.6.16*686

$ grep hda /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda2
The error:
RAMDISK: Couldn't open root device "302" or unknown-block(3,2).
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs or unknown-
block(3,2)
Has something radical changed between 2.6.14 & .16?
That might be a problem with your initrd image for 2.6.16. There are (at
least) two different packages for initrd creation, initrd-tools and
yaird. Sometimes it is enough to just switch to the one that you did not
use before.
