Hi,
Is it possible to get the dmesg for the boot prior to the current one?
I'm trying to remotely upgrade from the 2.4 to 2.6 kernel. I followed

For whatever reason I couldn't get /dev/sda3 in fstab to work when I
originally installed Gentoo on this box many moons ago, I had to use
/dev/scsi/host0

/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
