let me see if i can help.
i am assuming you downloaded kernel-image-2.6.8-686.
if that is right, the download would have included
initrd.image-2.6.8.686 and it would be in your /boot
directory. is it there ?
we will go from here. you can reply to me privatly if
you like for it seems that someone was bothered that
you did not use the user-debian list.

line 'initrd=/initrd.img' after the read-only line in the Linux label
stanza. Now the 2.6 kernel (you guessed or read correctly) boots. It
appears to be a little fussier than the bf2.4 kernel which still works
fine. I kept it under the LinuxOld label where the package put it in
lilo.conf.
After I fixed the lilo.conf with the initrd=/initrd.img, I got the
2.6.8 kernel to run but ran into what appeared to be Bug #276020 filed
against that kernel so I went to unstable and got the 2.6.11 kernel.
It seems to manifest the same bug with wvdial. I now have package ii
kernel-image-2 2.6.11-7 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.11 on
PPr
from unstable on a sarge upgraded from woody. I managed to use pon
somehow to connect to the Internet, but it seems to cut on and off
periodically.
Is there a better workaround?
