No, I don't need 2.4.x to boot my machine. I've just
been having problems on a laptop that started life as
potato (2.2.x kernel) and was dist-upgraded to woody
and then sid. I had been trying to install a 2.4.x
kernel from the standard debian packages and at first
stumbled over the initrd stuff and then had problems
w/ modules. Since I'm at home today caring for a sick
child, I will go over the modules and their
configuration again and the diffs between using a
2.2.x kernel and the 2.4.x kernels.
I would like to install woody and dist-upgrade it to
sid on another machine. It might be simpler on a
desktop w/o the pcmcia stuff to worry about.
