[Niels Stargardt]

Hi Petr
you could compile the kernel with Pentium M, I do it on Debian.

I get a similar error. I guess you don't use initrd, this was my problem. If you use the original config file from Debian you should use initrd or find out the right config-parameter which has to switch off.
So what could you do?
1. Check that hda5 is really your root-device
2. Use initrd or use the config I and Ronald posted to this mailinglist.

Hope this useful for you
