[plug] system hangs after kernel upgrade

[Jon Miller]

I'm attempting to do an kernel upgrade from 2.4.27-2-686  to 2.6.8-2-686 and when the system boot it hangs at the prompt /sbin/init: 432: Connot open dev/console No such file.

What I've done is boot up the system using Knoppix 4.0 and mount the root directory, cd to /dev/ and run MAKEDEV update and MAKEDEV console.
Rebooted the computer and still the same error.

Does anyone have a fix for this.

System is a Debian 2.4
