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.
