Kernel 2.4.4 doesn't boot

[Miles Bader <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp>]

[Er, sorry about the earlier mis-sent message...]

I've installed the new kernel-image-2.4.4-686 package on my sid system,
with this lilo entry:

   image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.4-686
           label=2.4.4
           initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.4-686
           read-only

Trying to boot this kernel hangs hard right after it prints `starting kswapd'
(so hard that my system's `semi-soft' power switch fails to work, and I
have to unplug it to reboot).

When I installed the kernel (using apt-get), the following error message
was printed:

   Setting up kernel-image-2.4.4-686 (2.4.4-1) ...
   depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.4-686/kernel/drivers/scsi/pci2220i.o
   /boot/initrd does not exist. Installing from scratch, eh?
   Or maybe you don't want a symbolic link here. Hmm? Lets See.
   ...etc...

My system doesn't use any scsi disks, so I'm not sure if this is the
actual problem or not.

Does anyone have any idea as to what could be going wrong, and how I
could try to fix it?

Thanks,

-Miles
