debian-installer beta: booting from grub?



i installed from the debian-installer beta to a spare partition on my grub-based system. i installed lilo on this parition as well.

in grub.conf i added the following stanza:

  title debian-installer test
    root (hd0,5)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.22-1-386

when selecting this option on boot, i get the following boot messages:

 modprobe: couldn't locate module sysfs
 Journalled Block Device driver loaded
 LVM version 1.0.5+(22/07/2002) module loaded
 mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
 mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
 mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
 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: 217: cannot open /dev/console: no such file
 Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init!

...then it locks.


any ideas?
