I tried many times to make it work but it always fails. So I installed
Lenny and it was successfull. So after that I tried to make a dist-upgrade
and it seems to do it well but when I rebooted the system it didn't boot.
The system fails looking for the root device. So rather than the
installation issue is the dist-upgrade issue.
Can someone help me?.
