Thanks! Yeah, I'd like to start building kernels from source, but thought I'd try the upgrade with an image first. I mean, start easy, right? I have a question about the line: initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18.gz How does /boot/initrd-2.4.18.gz get generated? Is it as simple as typing mkinitrd /lib/modules/<version>? I haven't got that far yet because apt tells me to make sure I have my bootloader configured before I continue with getting the new kernel, so I've aborted before it finishes. I assume it puts stuff in /lib/modules, but I don't know for sure. Thanks again! Jen
It was there after the install was completed. I played around with the grub menu a bit before I got it working, and the config I posted is what worked. apt-geting the kernel does 90 to 95% of the work for you. The problem is, you get what the maintainer uses. The kernel works, but there is stuff that you don't need or want, and sometimes the stuff you do want is compiled turned off (like apm).
