Where in your menu.lst are each of these located? In particular, does your new entry come *AFTER* the "END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" line? > When I tried to boot the new new kernel, I get a kernel panic with an > error indicating that there was a problem with the root directory > root=/dev/hdf1 but that is root for the other kernels and they boot > without a problem. Is there any chance you could be more informative about this?
