So new problem, to the above kernel is this:

===

Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp (2.6.8-14) ...
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device /dev/sda1 is not a block device
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9

===


Slowly plodding my wait through amd64 fai installs.

thanks,
