line 'initrd=/initrd.img' after the read-only line in the Linux label

appears to be a little fussier than the bf2.4 kernel which still works
fine. I kept it under the LinuxOld label where the package put it in
lilo.conf.
After I fixed the lilo.conf with the initrd=/initrd.img, I got
the 2.6.8 kernel to run but ran into what appeared to be Bug #276020 filed
against that kernel so I went to unstable and got the 2.6.11 kernel. It
seems to manifest the same bug with wvdial.
I just read it. Just to clarify, are you saying that you too have a
500MHz Celeron in a Dell Optiplex GX-100?
I now have package
ii kernel-image-2 2.6.11-7 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.11 on PPr
from unstable on a sarge upgraded from woody. I managed to use pon somehow to
connect to the Internet, but it seems to cut on and off periodically.
Is there a better workaround?
Did you try an internal modem? How about recompiling the kernel
with a 100Hz tick (instead of the default 1KHz)? These are the
first troubleshooting steps I would take based on the bug description.
