Re: Kernel 2.6 on Inspiron 6000

hi Derek,

In fact, I installed via apt-get the kernel image 2.6.8 (for i686) but I have the Kernel Panic error for this image... I changed in the grub boot loader /dev/hdax to /dev/sdax  but nothing happened. In fact, can I change from 2.4 with i386 to 2.6 with i686 or not ?  The error code is 431 with message indicating that /dev/console can't be found  ... I make MAKEDEV console but nothing changed
