Errrr, that's a RedHat kernel version. The words "What have you done" spring
to mind. I'd double check your lilo config and make sure you're running a
_Debian_ kernel.
(The depmod error means you don't have any modules for that kernel version
installed, if you were wondering)

I have Windows on partition hda1, Redhat on hda6, and Debian on hda8.
Because of what Steve wrote, I did uname -a for Redhat and got 2.2.14-5.0.
It seems that when I install Debian, it grabs the Redhat kernel instead of
installing its own. The only link is that I am using the same swap partiton
for both.
Now what?
