unable to boot new kernel
I upgraded my woody install to use grub using (I had been using lilo)
apt-get install grub
grub0install /dev/hda
update-grub
I then rebooted and everything was good, I am using grub and all is well.
I then decided to upgrade the kernel from 2.2.20 to 2.6.12.3 with CIFS
support. This worked fine, however when I went to dpkg the new kernel it
activiated the lilo script and not the grub. I do run update-grub. When
I reboot I am unable to boot the new kernel due to a message that it
cannot find the \boot file system. Of course the 2.2.20 kernel boots
fine. How can I completely get rid of lilo so that grub is properly set
up?
Here are some excerpts from my menu.lst: (I tried both with and without
the initrd)
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.12.3.qmail
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12.3.qmail root=/dev/hda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12.3.qmail
savedefault
boot
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.2.20-idepci
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20-idepci root=/dev/hda1 ro
savedefault
boot
