Re: dist upgrade potato to woody 2.2 to 2.4 kernel
What does the boot init (read quickly ;>) say when it gets to ide
devices? Perhaps your root disk is now on something else. Especially
if you are using devfs (not sure if it's in the prebuilt 2.4 kernel) it
may have moved to /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2. Try that as a
root parameter when lilo comes up with 2.4 with the left shift key.
I.e.
Lilo prompt
(you type)
linux root=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
Just a shot in the dark. I also recommend compiling your own kernel as
well like Mark suggests.
