VMWare & 2.4 (was Re: can't install new kernel)

[Arkaitz <arkbit@yahoo.com>]

Thanks to all that answered!
The problem was that lilo was writing the new config to a partition
while the computer was using the MBR to boot. Anyway, the machine
running woody is actually VMware, and I get no problem with kernel
2.2.17, but it does a "kernel panic" when trying to mount the root
filesystem. Is there anyone that has run Debian woody with 2.4 in a
vmware virtual machine?

Thanks again!
