Just "upgraded" to 2.6 kernel using apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-686 It cannot see the sata disc which it boots from. It gets to Begin: Mounting root file system ... ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... Done Begin: Waiting for root file system ... ... I have read all I can find & no avail & checked my bios for Legacy or similar - no joy Any pointers please? 2.4 installed fine & ran/runs off the Sata without problem. Steve
