Hi Leonard,
I looked over your files. First did you verify the links /vmlinuz
and /vmlinuz.old? Second, what happens when you boot using LinuxOLD?
(Lacking an enabled prompt option, you might have hit the Tab key to
bring up the boot menu.)
See below for links. Not sure what you mean by what happens when you boot
using LinuxOLD. It boots normally as it did since first installed. I
do see that
Output module failed to load as was the case on my old sarge. If your
refering
to my notes about not having a graphical lilo interface on the install=
and map=
notes then yes, I do have to hit scroll lock or tab repeatedly for the
old red orange
boot menu to come up. That's the only way I can boot woody without a
rescue disk.
If that doesn't answer your question, I'd be more than happy to supply
any specifics.
The reason I ask is that I noticed your old kernel didn't use initrd.
If the old kernel still works then you know that at very least, you have
the option of compiling in all your drivers and getting rid of initrd
(which seems to be causing problems for lots of people lately).
Yes, I agree, lots of people are have problem getting sarge to boot.
Perhaps they didn't read the release notes, like me. But that wont
ever happen again.
I plan to someday compile my own kernel just to see if I can do it. I'm
still trying to get a
stable system for the last six months that I've been using Debian. If
that ever happens then
I'll be ready to try. Out of 3 or 4 sarge installs, only the last one
via testing worked out of the
box and booted normally. The first install never did boot and
eventually woody got corrupted
and I started all over again with a fresh install. Thanks for picking
up the thread. So far it looks
like there's not going to be a simple or quick solution.
The output you requested: If this not what you want, let me know.
