I'm sorry to say so, but apparently it *is* possible. uname -r gives
me a 2.4.xxxxx kernel as response. I did do an install of 3.0r4 and
*then* a dist-upgrade to 4.0rx, perhaps that is the reason.
It is. AFAICT, parisc will not replace the kernel in any sort of
upgrade.
You have to modify palo.conf by hand to point at the new kernel and
run "palo" manually.
Ahhhh okay, I understand :) Well, the fact that I have to modify the
file. But that would mean that there should already be a new kernel
somewhere on the /boot partition?! Which is just not (yet) included
in the conf file?
BTW, for now, do not use 2.6.18 SMP kernels. I believe fixes went into
2.6.22 that help make parisc SMP stable again.
Would SMP kernels be even installed on a A180C, which is not a multi-
processing box?!
Sadly I
didn't turn on the machine this morning otherwise I could have logged
into it from here. Later I will post the sources.list, but it should
be okay, since I remarked all lines before I did a sudo apt-cdrom add
for all 3 the DVD's for 4.0 and then performed a dist-upgrade.
What's on the DVD's should work basically.
Upgrades from that should be fine too once one gets rid of the SMP
kernel.
My sources.list now is:
debian1:/etc/apt# more sources.list
