(Putting a new kernel onboard). So you have upgraded the kernels on this system, and the sarge 2.6 kernel boots ok? Do you happen to have tried the sarge 2.4.27 kernel as well, which is what's used on the sarge install CDs? If you have a system that you can afford to test on, I'd like to know whether remastering the boot block with a newer aboot (using the swriteboot command) leaves you with a bootable system or not, so we can pin down whether this problem is specific to booting from CD.
