FYI, someone reported that adding rootfstype=ext2 made the images bootable. Looks like something in the kernel isn't checking the initrd for ext2. So this may not be a SILO problem (I know Josh is already aware of this, but others are probably interested in the results here). -- Debian - http

I did some checking, and the newer memory allocation in SILO was not verifying that the initrd physical location was in the lower 32-bits address range. The kernel only accepts a 32-bit address range for initrd's. I re-added the check, so now SILO will put out a decent failure. I suspect that in t

(please Cc, not on list) I cannot build the debian-installer on a 2.5 system because depmod fails. The reason is that unless depmod is given a symbols file (System.map) it tries to get symbol information from the kernel. I notice that the i386 kernel udeb includes modules.dep. Would it be better
