Re: Debian + ndiswrapper == Hair Loss!!

I posted to relevant lists. I tried to look for any rules on cross 
posting but found none.

The lines are correct; they were written by update-grub (I think; at 
least that's what I ran). Anyway the exact problem was that it couldn't 
mount the root FS and asked me to make sure the root= parameter was 
correct, which it was (same as the 2.4 kernel's root= parameter). 
Someone in #debian said that means I have a bad kernel build and to 
start over, which I did, but to no avail.
