It doesn't boot on my rawhide box which is a one IDE hard drive box.


the error is:
  "/bin/nash: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"

none of the other 2.6.19 kernels from rawhide will boot either.
