    Hello!

    I have installed a Debian 2.6.8 standard kernel from the Debian ftp server
    using Dselect. But it won't boot up my system! :-( HELP! :-)

    This is the output:

    /sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file
    Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

    The kernel is precompiled btw.
    My theory is that I need to install the console device package, but I can't
    find this anywhere. :-( Do I need to create the console device, maybe? Hmm...

    I'm not a member of the list, so please use the cc.

    Greetings
    Björn
