But if I don't drop to the shell, don't touch anything, it still says cramfs: wrong magic, but boots anyway without any panics. What's going on?

First, it is unnatural for Debian to cry in such a manner. Please let me know the version number of your distro.

Version number? It used to be 3.0r0 but after a few apt-get upgrades, who knows?

I think you have used dselect to change your kernel.

Yes, 2.4.18-k6 is the kernel according to uname.

One more thing, Satya your machine isn't in trouble. It's just that sometimes automation doesn't work as desired. Nothing is perfect ;).

Yes, I know that. I'm just wondering why dropping to a shell causes the kernel to be unable to access the root fs?
