Re: 2.2.17 upgrade
Hi Dan,
The first go around it told me to rename the modules directory for
2.2.17 to 2.2.17.old, which I didn't do. Instead I just went ahead and
continued. When I rebooted the machine, I was back into the old 2.2.16
kernel. So I did the dpkg -i (mykernel*..) only this time renaming the
module directory as suggested. when I tried to reboot, none of the
modules were inserted, thus no eth0, etc.. So I booted up with the boot
floppy I made and everything works just fine.
