Maybe the initrd.img is missing? Also, the requirements for a 2.6.x kernel are different than for a 2.4.x kernel. I dont' think a 686 version will boot, try the 486 version. What does dpkg-reconfigure actual-2.6-kernel do? What does apt-cache policy udev show? (Also do a apt-cache show udev | less) What does update-grub do? Actual error messages are helpful, especially if you want at least one or more helpful replies. -- Chris. ====== " ... the official version cannot be abandoned because the implication of rejecting it is far too disturbing: that we are subject to a government conspiracy of `X-Files' proportions and insidiousness."
