RE: dist upgrade potato to woody 2.2 to 2.4 kernel
Mark -
I've performed the apt-get dist-upgrade without the kernel change. Then,
rather than compiling the kernel, I'm apt-get install ing the new
kernel-image. The configuration has been my down fall. It proceeds normally,
but then the reboot fails with a kernel panic that it can't find root at
hda2. Root is located at /dev/hda2. There is no boot prompt to pass the
process additional parameters.

I just did this last weekend and had no trouble. However, I did it in
several steps:
1. Performed an apt-get dist-upgrade without changing kernels.
2. Compiled my own 2.2.6 kernel
3. Installed the new kernel and rebooted.
Is this what you are doing?
