do you have everything you need compiled in? Filesystems of root/boot partition, IDE controller etc? I you have them as modules, do you have initrd-tools, and have you created an initrd image? > I do not have module init tools installed.

Has anyone been able to install it on woody? backports.org has a kernel-2.6 package that will pull in kernel-image, a module-init-tools that coexists with modutils, updated hdparm and everything else you need. Boots for me, however pppd fails to open a pty for me with all 2.6-kernels I tried (backports.org's image, selfcompiled, ...).
