After upgrading my kernel form 2.2 to 2.4 in Debian-Woody I can't start normally the system, because I'm confronted to a black screen with no options to switch to a tty with ctrl+alt+fn
If I enter through a rescue disk:
rescue root=/dev/hda2
I get multiple messages like:
modprobe can't open depencies file lib/modules/2.2.20/modules.dep
(no such file or directory)
After log in as root I've tried to run xf86cfg but the screen is blocked again
If I try to reconfigure the X's with xf86config I get messages about socket's related problems
it mgiht mean unix domain sockets, altho x will still start it will only giv u a X cursor and a checkord screen, then crashes in a minute or 2, so check if the kernel has unix domain sockets compiled in, or type
insmod unix
to laod it if its a module
