Hi all,
Decided to give Linux 2.6.31 a go to see if it fixes the annoying I/O slowness bug I've been having for a long time.
Compiled it, installed the modules and copied the kernel image to the correct place in what is effectively /boot
title Slamd 64 12.2 Linux 2.6.30-cfq root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/slamd64-2.6.30-cfq root=/dev/sda2 title Slamd 64 12.2 Linux 2.6.31-srki root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/slamd64-2.6.31srki root=/dev/sda2The first entry works and I can boot it. The second entry does not work and I get a "Error 15: File not found"
Interestingly I had a "Error 15: File not found" error when I tried kernel 2.6.31 but in my case I had used the Debian tool to build a kernel package and then install it.
Wondering if the installation had silently failed due to running out of space I delete the oldest kernel image which I never use from aptitude and tried installing the 2.6.31 package again whereupon the error went away.
I still don't know if the disk space idea was correct or whether there is some other problem, for example a limit to the number of menu entries etc. or something else that re-installing the package fixed.
