    I've been trying to get the 2.6.8 kernel installed. But it keeps failing to
    boot.

    nforce2 ide controller at pci slot 0000:00:09.0
    nforce2 chipset revision 162
    nforce2 not 100% native mode, will probe irqs later
    nforce2 bios didnt set cable bits correctly, enabling workaround

    <few more lines of text with nothing that looked like an error>

    /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table
    NTFS driver 2.1.15 flags R/O MODULE
    pivot_root: no such file or directory
    /sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: no such file
    kernel panic: attempted to kill init!

    I've been using google to try and find a solution but so far no luck. My
    lilo.conf file looks like this:

    image=/vmlinuz
            label=Linux
            read-only
            initrd=/initrd.img

    I can boot with the older 2.14.18 kernel with no problem. I tried
    downloading and installing the nforce drivers from nvidia (even though they
    just seem to be audio and network drivers, no ide drivers) but i couldnt
    get that to install either. Tells me gcc version check failed, or if i try
    to compile it manually tells me make command not found (gcc is installed).

    Any suggestions?

    Ian
