I assume you have installed the stock kernel-image deb. So you will need to use an initrd image Add the module needed for you root file system to /etc/mkinitrd/modules. If you are using ext3, put "jbd" on the line above "ext3". Then rebuild your initrd image by running: mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-586 /lib/modules/2.4.18-586/ If you haven't done so already, add "initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-586" to your lilo.conf. rerun lilo -- Jerome
