No i did not run anything. I installed from a CD which had Debian with
kernel 2.0.0. I wanted to upgrade to 2.0.27 so I just ftped the file
kernel-image-2.0.27_1.00.deb and ran dpkg on it. It seemed like everything
was fine but then I could not use my floppies etc. I thought that just
getting the file and running dpkg would simply upgrade me to the latest
kernel, but apparently that is not the case.
