I am using the same MB with less Mem but 160G HD to write this. I would like to see the contents of the /boot dir. The menu.lst looks ok, if you are not using an initrd image. I have both methods in my menu.lst. ----------- title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18y Default-------------- SID - HDA2 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.18y root=LABEL=SID vga=792 ro savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-k7 --------------- ETCH - HDB1 lock root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-k7 root=/dev/hdb1 vga=792 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-k7 savedefault --------------- I found something yesterday while working on another box that _might_ help. In the title line had Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18 but got an error similar to what you are seeing. When I checked /boot I had a bzImage-2.6.18y but not a bzImage-2.6.18. I corrected the title line in menu.lst and it then worked, of course.
