These are both stock Debian kernels.  The above typo is because it was 
easier to type it in on this computer than bring up an email client on 
the old laptop where the problem is.

I agree!  Do you have any suggestions as to how to diagnose this?

I don't know what your 'Screen resolution preference tool' is. You
probably have to 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' if you haven't tried
already. Log out as ordinary user, switch to a console like tty1 and log
in as root before doing so. After reconfiguration you'd have to restart
the xserver with '/etc/init.d/kdm restart' or gdm, or whatever your X
display manager is.

You do have xserver-xorg installed, don't you?

Message-ID: <1188551841_9953@sp6iad.superfeed.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Greetings .... 

  A few days ago I moved a hdd with a Sarge installation
  that had run for a little over 3 years in an old Compaq box 
  to another old HP box because the power supply in the Compaq died
  and the HP power supply wouldn't fit the Compaq .... :-)

  The Compaq box had a Cyrix processor and I had 2 working kernels
  under Sarge and I used the  686  version as the default .... 

      2.4.27-3-686
      2.4.27-3-386

  The HP box that the disk is in now has an AMD K6-2 processor
  and after the move the  2.4-686  wouldn't boot but the other
  2.4-386 would boot and run Sarge OK .... 

  I installed a  K6  kernel and un-installed the  686  kernel
  that wouldn't boot ....

      sudo apt-get intall kernel-image-2.4.27-3-k6

      sudo apt-get --purge remove kernel-image-2.4.27-3-686

  
  Now I can't boot into either the newly installed K6 kernel
  or the older 386 version and get the following messages 
  at boot time from either .... 

      pivot_root:  no such file or directory

      /sbin/init:  432 cannot open dev/console  no such file

      kernel panic:  attempted to kill init !

  
  I spent a fair amount of time Google-izing and found 
  quite a few others that had gotten similar error messages
  at boot time but not quite under the same circumstances ....

  Most of these were either problems upgrading from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels
  or sata drive problems ....  

  The K6 kernel files all seem to be in place in the  /boot  dir
  and the  grub/menu.lst  seems to have been updated OK when I 
  check from a Knoopix CD boot ....

  Any clues as to how to repair this problem 
  would be greatly appreciated ....

No, I had purged hdparm, just reinstalled it, but
didn't edit any of configuration yet. This is the
output using only defaults (there are only commented
lines in /etc/hdparm.conf)

>=20


But aren't the deb files compatible between Debian and Ubuntu? For=20
example, I remember installing several .deb on Debian, and then install=20
them on Ubuntu, and they seemed to work fine on both system (at least,=20
as far as I could tell).

Also, some websites have in the description of the deb file "For use in=20
Debian and Ubuntu" or "For Debian-based systems".

My idea is that the problem isn't on the package itself, but on the=20
dependencies (because I think some packages have different names, so it=20
could create some conflicts).

Or does that only apply to more "high-level" files and wouldn't work=20
with the "low-level" packages (I don't really know if there is=20
high-level and low-level packages...)

By default the xen-pae version is installed but I don't need it because 
   the maschine has only 512MB. Should I still use pae and how could I 
get rid of pae packages?

Also by default no xen header files are installed. Are they optional or 
what for xen uses it?

My laptop is IBM R40e.  My internal CD drive is broken, so I used a
external DVD RW drive to install Debian by a DVD disk.
My installation was just OK except the speed( USB 1.1).

The trick is to find out exactly why the 'root' partition cannot be found=
.  Two common problems:
1. Someone moved the HD around (so it became hdb/hdc/hdd rather than hda)
2. The filesystem driver (for example, ext3) was not compiled into the ke=
rnel and for some strange reason when the initrd image was rebuilt, the d=
river was not set to load.

In the case of (1), you can get a Grub console and use the 'find' tool to=
 help figure out what parameter to use for 'root', boot and then edit the=
 grub menu.lst and fstab file. =20

In the case of (2) the easiest way is to use a Live CD to boot, then moun=
t your root partition and switch to it using 'chroot', and then check the=
 initrd tools configuration and update the images making sure that the ne=
cessary drivers are set to be loaded.

I wish you had not sent your reply to Bob Proulx directly, because he
had nothing to do with the original message.

I wish I wasn't so used to press the Reply All button, so that this sort 
of thing wouldn't happen.

(And if he had nothing to do, how come my email went to his mailbox 
directly?)


Don't know where to look next?X

... because someone sent an email with his forged from-address:

Excerpts of the source of the 'original' email
[snip]
Received: from esc69.midphase.com (esc69.midphase.com [216.104.34.78])
[snip]
From: bob@proulx.com
[snip]

An apparently legitimate mail contains
[snip]
Received: by dementia.proulx.com (Postfix, from userid 1000)
[snip]
From: bob@proulx.com (Bob Proulx)
[snip]
instead of the lines above.

In case of doubt check the full headers of emails (and there are
probably ways to forge those, too.)

Johannes
