Hey, cool (sorta) -- someone else has this problem too. I've got a
kernel that does this too. I will look at my machine again soon since
I just got back from the weekend.

I've only seen this once. In my case I am trying to install debian
(woody) on a brand new machine.

I used the potato installer, then dist-upgraded (as I have done on
other machines before). The 2.2 kernel can boot just fine. None of
the 2.4 kernels I've tried work. One of them gives the error
Alessandro is seeing. I find this thread very interesting since I'm
encountering the same issue.

Something or other like that. After upgrading to woody, I installed a
2.4 kernel. Then I built my own 2.4 kernel and installed it. I also
installed the -bf2.4 kernel. None of them boot. Two don't like the
root= param and one can't find init.
