Debian Etch PPC install issue

Hi;

I did a standard network install in a Oldworld Mac Performa 6400, install was clean - three times -- twice with a single root partition formatted Ext3 and once with an single root formatted ext2 partition (hda6 -- MAC HFS Boot -- hda7 -- swap -- hda8 -- root - (linux partitionconfirmed in /target/etc/fstab during install). Copied vmlinux-2.6.18.. from /boot back to the HFS volume mounted at /target/mnt/mac (mount -t hfs /dev/hda6 /target/mnt/mac). The boot after the install using BootX and the new Kernel and root-/dev/hda8 I got the following error all three times -- Invalid root partition 'hda8' or unknown-block(0,0). Any assistance at explaining the issue would be appreciated.

Thanks
