Ensure that /vmlinuz exists.

Please show the output of mount.


Cool, now that you've been through that and got it working, ever looked at Grub?

* You don't have to run /sbin/grub every time you install a new kernel
* If you forget to add the new config entry describing your new kernel you can still load the new kernel on reboot from the grub command line.
** Because of those features, if you had purged the kernel package for your configured boot kernel, you would still have a chance of booting into Debian, as long as some version of the kernel is installed.


Although the method of defining drives is different than /dev/hd*, once you get the knack of it, the config file isn't that hairy. Just install grub-doc with grub and read the documentation.

# By default, boot the second entry.
default 1

# Boot default automatically after 30 seconds
timeout 30

# Fallback to the first entry if the default fails
fallback 0
