I don't see anything obivous. I take it you compiled your own kernel.
Did you use make-kpkg or the older make dep, etc? If you used kpkg
then I would suggest you enable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y and try it
again. I used to compile the old way but find that kernel-package
is the better method, now.
If you have already done that, all I can suggest is that you try
installing a debian 2.6.18 image. I don't recall what your running
but I think etch is at 2.6.18-4 now. Testing just upgraded to
2.6.21-2.
Sorry for the late reply. I had a wedding to atten today and just got
back.
