In process of installing a 2.6.5 kernel on one of the computers in the

Debian stock kernel-image-2.6.5-i386 fails to boot. The boot process
hangs on mounting the root filesystem. The last part of the boot post
is:

Easiest way I found to connect to verizon DSL was to purchase Linksys

router up to login to verizon and plug the ethernet cable from your
network card into the router. You can either set up static IP on your
