I also note that during boot up the SATA disks now seem to be labelled hda (etc) - they used to be sda (etc). Despite changing that on the GRUB boot line I still cannot log in. I do (or did?!) have a nVidia module but I presume that is not the issue since the boot doesn't get far enough to load X

I have a new Dell Poweredge 750 that would not let me install 'linux26' on at install boot. So I installed 'linux' from the boot CD. I subsequently installed kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686 on it. Now when I run "apt-get dist-upgrade" it tells me : $ sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists

Thanks, Nicos. Unfortunately, the new initscripts wants libc6 >= 2.3.2. I tried to manually mount devpts but the problem remained. Will 2.6 and stable just not jive? I'm ok sticking with 2.4.27 if that's the case, I just need to get away from 2.4.19 because the xfs patch is no longer available t

Under my 2.4 kernel I used vga=0x317 which was a nice small console font. Now with 2.6 vga=ask and then using "scan" I don't have that choice any more (screen is blank if I use vga=0x317). Why do I not have that mode any more? The other interesting thing is in 2.6 my mouse moves *much* fas
