grub Error 15: File not found

Hi All,

I used Tina's HOWTO (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=4468) in this forum to build and install my new kernel. Everything seemed to go fine except when I try to reboot into the new kernel, I get: "Error 15: File not found" Below are the steps I used after configuring my new kernel. I'm thinking that the problem is with the initrd.img, but am not sure. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Did this after configuring my new kernel:

1) make dep

2) make-kpkg clean

3) make-kpkg kernel-image

As expected, there was a new .dep package installed:

/usr/src/linux-image-2.6.23_2.6.23-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

I then installed the new kernel:

dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.23_2.6.23-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

That went fine and it edited my grub/menu.lst file adding these two expected new entries:

title new kernel 2.6.23
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23 root=UUID=afc14bc4-95c5-4fab-a57c-6121fa4b851a ro quiet splash
quiet

title new kernel 2.6.23 (recovery mode)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23 root=UUID=afc14bc4-95c5-4fab-a57c-6121fa4b851a ro single

I verified that the kernel can be found via the above grub "kernel" entries:

root@darklight:/boot# ls vmlinuz-2.6.23
vmlinuz-2.6.23

I rebooted, selected my new kernel and got:

"Error 15: File not found"

I then created a new initrd.img file:

mkinitramfs -o /initrd.img-2.6.23

Verified its presence:

root@darklight:/# ls /initrd.img-2.6.23
/initrd.img-2.6.23

and lastly, added the new path to the "initrd" line:

title new kernel 2.6.23
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23 root=UUID=afc14bc4-95c5-4fab-a57c-6121fa4b851a ro quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.23
quiet

title new kernel 2.6.23 (recovery mode)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23 root=UUID=afc14bc4-95c5-4fab-a57c-6121fa4b851a ro single
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.23

I reboot, select my new kernel and get the same Error 15: File not found.

I'm sure this is a simple fix but I'm just not seeing it.

Help Much Appreciated,

lb
