You need to boot using the CD-ROM and then install the packages in the linux-2.6.13 directory on disk 2 -- those don't get installed when you install test26.s and what you're seeing is things trying to load that just are not there.

You need to boot to /dev/sda (assuming that's your drive) then eject disk 1, mount disk 2 and using installpkg to install all the *.tgz package files in linux-2.6.13.

Make sure /etc/lilo.conf is pointing to the right places and execute lilo...

See, this is the EXACT problem I mentioned in a previous topic about how crappy Pat's current 2.6 policy is.

You are also probably going to have to make an initrd for your filesystem, and install the 2.6 modules and image packages from disc 2.

The test26.s kernel includes SATA support. If you were able to boot the installation using test26.s, and you chose test26.s at the end of the installation, everything should be fine. You don't need an initrd. Just install the 2.6 modules and life should be good.

Are you sure you chose the test26.s kernel at the end of the installation?
