Re: Which kernel?

Why 2 different versions of kernels? Does the netinst image installs 2.4

I am currently away form this linux and unfortunatly I forgot to uname
it so I do not know what kernel version 'linux' loads.
I installed on the 18th also...
Note that all 4 of those entries point to the same kernel... The only
differences are the boot options and the "route" they take to get there...
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-9-amd64-k8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8 root=/dev/hda1 ro
console=tty0
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
initrd /boot/initrd.img
Note the symbolic links:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2004-10-18 16:21 vmlinuz ->
vmlinuz-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2004-10-18 16:21 initrd.img ->
initrd.img-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8
mv@k8:~$ uname -a
Linux k8 2.6.8-9-amd64-k8 #1 Sun Oct 3 18:22:21 CEST 2004 x86_64 GNU/Linux
As for the error message you got when you tried "linux26", I believe 2.6
is the one and only choice on the CD...
