[Bug 55112] Re: [Bug 55112] Re: I can't use any kernel past the -19 version

[Rian Orie]

No such luck I'm afraid.. For informational purpouses I copied the entries 
from the grub boot list, although taking into account they are almost 
completely identical, its rather useless..  the only thing that does change 
is the kernel number and after the -25 version I started using the 686 
version to see wether that made a difference.. I'm using a P4..

Any other ideas or suggestions that I might try? or is there any other 
information that you might require? I'd also be willing to modprobe drivers 
untill it works.. but I've just got no idea what so ever how to probe into a 
kernel that isn't running and I've got no idea which ones to probe.. 

Either way, thanks a lot for the attention so far! This is the first 
suggestion I've had towards fixing this after asking on several different 
locations, it's /really/ appreciated!

These don't work:
----------------------------------
title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686
root		(hd1,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet splash
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686
savedefault
boot

title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-25-386
root		(hd1,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-386 root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet splash
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-25-386
savedefault
boot


This one DOES work:
----------------------------------
title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-19-386
root		(hd1,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-19-386 root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet splash
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-19-386
savedefault
boot
