Hi Janina. Actually, I'm running Debian potato. Actually, the exact error is: Kernel panic: vfs: Unable to mount root filesystem on 0302. I'm not sure quite what 0302 refers to, I might just try playing with system.map some more trying different combinations. I used fdisk to partition the disk to ext2, and it boots fine with the old kernel. I just want to make sure there's nothing that I'm missing. And if you want, just let me know if you want me to post system.map to the list. Thanks again!

However, it can't mount the root filesystem and it terminates with a kernel panic: fs: Unable to mount root filesystem. I checked system.map to make sure it said root=/dev/hda2 because this is my root partition, and it is also in lilo.conf as root=/dev/hda2. Here's basiclly what it looks like:
