kernel 2.6 how-to



Hello,

I recently installed kernel-image-2.6-test2 from the
debian repository. However, when I try to boot into
the 2.6 kernel, I get the following message:

Journalled Block Device driver loaded
mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 196: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Here's my grub entry:

root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-tes2-1-386 root=/dev/hda2
ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.0-tes2-1-386
savedefault
boot

Finally, here's my /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda1 /home ext3 data=writeback 0 2
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /cdrom1 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

I tried to boot the system with both the sysfs line
left in and out of fstab and as far as I could tell,
it made no difference. Thanks for any help!

Please CC me, as I am not subscribed to this list.
Thanks!
