when booting to 2.4 i get the same two error messages as above, the UDF-fs and kernel panic ones. installing what (i think) was my previous lilo.conf did not help, although i didn't actually save my earlier version, so i can't be 100% sure i didn't change anything (silly me).

indeed,
/vmlinuz -> /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7
/vmlinuz.old -> /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18_i386
/initrd.img -> /boot/initrd-2.6.7.img
/initrd.img.old -> /boot/initrd-2.4.18_i386.img
all of which exist. the windows 98 partition still boots properly.
would this question be better asked to the debian-kernel list? it seems like they're more concerned with the kernel's inner workings and might not want to be bothered with issues like this.
thanks again,
