I see about 200 lines of that message, and eventually it says timeout 52000ms (vague recolection) and it stops. I have noticed I'm unable to boot certian kernels.=20 I've had to boot from the cd, hop to a shell, mount the drive, and install the right kernel. All I recall is that it is the non smp 32bit 2.6 kernel. I was only able to use the same kernel that's used with the installer cd. I've also reported this on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D302238. If it's related, you may want to add to my bug id. I'll try to get back to the list w/in the next day to provide more specifics. Ever since I was unable to use my pci scsi card combined with a mishap on my tape drive, I've kinda given up for a small season.
