Hi there!
I have installed kernel 2.6.4-1-686-smp using apt-get install, but I
have not managed to get it to boot. It gets stuck with these messages
(quoted below from the moment thing start to go wrong):
mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
mount: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
NTFS driver 2.16 [Flags R/O MODE]

There is indeed no such thing as /dev2 directory in my system. In case
this had something to do with devfs (though I really don't know much
about devfs), I added the option "devfs=mount", but it did nothing.
For what it is worth, upon executing lilo I get:
> Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
> Name change: '/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc' -> '/dev/hde'

The hard disk is a SATA device which works fine under 2.4.24 (as
/dev/hde) and under W2K.
Any idea about what's going on?
Thanks!
