Re: kernel-image with the same version
Hi,
To recap:
a) potato install installed 2.2.17. You now want a new kernel
b) You moved /lib/modules/2.2.17 to 2.2.17-old
c) you installed your own version of 2.2.17
d) You now have one /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17, and both /vmlinuz and
/vmlinuz.old link to it.
There is o real way of avoiding this. Even if you moved
/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17.old, that kernel may
not be bootable after step (c) since it shall continue to look for
its modules in /lib/modules/2.2.17 (which are totally different set
of modules).
In these situations I download and create a 2.2.16 version,
test and ensure that works, and then install my 2.2.17 version. I
know this is suboptimal, but until we can tell a kernel-image at boot
time where to find it's modules, that's the best we can do.
