synaptic kernel

[Michael Havens]

COOOOOOL man.

Well, I modified /boot/grub/menu.lst and the new kernel shows on the boot 
screen but when it tries to boot I get a kernel panic. I made the two kernel 
boot options identical so I don't know how to fix it. It is complaining about 
the 'root=' line. Unfortunately, my template (the 2.6 kernel entry) doesn't 
have a 'root=' line so my creation doesn't either. 

Here is the relevant lines from pico /boot/grub/menu.lst:

	title Mepis with the 2-4 kernel
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-k6
	boot

	title MEPIS with kernel 2.6.15-26-386
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda1 nomce quiet vga=791
		acpi=off
	boot
