Hi,
I have made an attempt at doing a apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.9-686
This is on a DELL PowerEdge 1400
It downloads just fine and starts the install. It then gives me this:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
kernel-image-2.4.9-686
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
4 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/7919kB of archives. After unpacking 22.0MB will be used.
debconf: (not preconfiguring packages since apt-utils is not installed)
(Reading database ... 11164 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking kernel-image-2.4.9-686 (from .../kernel-image-2.4.9-686_2.4.9-1_i386.d
eb) ...
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 2.4.9-686)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd.
As a reminder, in order to configure lilo, you need to
add an 'initrd=/boot/initrd' in your /etc/lilo.conf
To get rid of this message, put `do_initrd = Yes' in /etc/kernel-img.conf.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]
Is this as easy as it seems simply putting initrd=/boot/initrd in the lilo.conf
Also I do not have an /etc/kernel-img.conf
