Before it had been running 2.6.14 without troubles. What happened: - compiled 2.6.15-rc1 with the 2.6.14 .config file. - make install modules_install ; update-grub - booted into 2.6.15-rc1 - started X.org (latest available in Debian unstable, DNR version) - crashed the screen output -> rebooted - booted in 2.6.14 (that run without problems) - received the 'VFS ... cannot mount root ...' error message (ext2 and ext3 are statically compiled into the kernel) - booted into Knoppix, fsck.ext3 didn't show any error - retried 2.6.14 -- same error persists - 2.6.15-rc1 boots still smoothly - however, 2.6.15-rc1 has still no screen output after trying to start X. ---> how can I get back to 2.6.14 without loosing data Any help is very welcome and urgently needed.
