[Voyage-linux] Installation problem

[Steve Taylor]

Yes, I am using a USB adapter to access the CF card. I have now tried LILO  
and it does boot. At first I get LI, then a new line with LILL, and then  
it waits for 20-30 seconds and then it starts with "OO   2222..88    
LLooaaddiinngg  LLiinnuuxx......." until Linux actually starts booting.  
Then the output is correct and it runs through a lot of stuff finally  
getting to a point where it says "Remounting / as read-write..." and then  
hangs. After a while it comes back with "[ some numbers ] hda: Lost  
Interrupt". Then the lost interrupt message repeats every so often and  
that's all that happens.

This Soekris 5501 had ubuntu 7.10 installed on the HD and it was working.  
I decided to upgrade it, first to ubuntu 8.04 which went well and  
everything was working. Then I tried to upgrade to 10.04 and after that it  
would no longer boot and in fact seems to have reverted back to 7.10.  
That's all I can find in the /boot directory. I was thinking that Voyage  
might be a better approach than trying to reinstall ubuntu.
