Lo, on Sunday, August 15, Rthoreau did write:

Yes, ext2, although I'd be surprised if that makes a difference.  As far
as kernel parameters, the only one I'm using that looks at all relevant
is `lba32' (simply because it's part of Debian's default lilo.conf file,
and I've never needed to wonder if it's necessary).

Well, as I understand the situation, I can't run 2.6 without upgrading
to sarge, and I can't upgrade to sarge while running 2.2.  Since 2.4
does not currently look to be an option, this causes a bit of a
catch-22.

Thanks,
