Re: kernel 2.4.17 and above for debian LINUX

["Deepak Kotian" <dkotian3@vsnl.net>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. It surely helped.

Some more clarification :
1. What kernel version does 2.2r5  and 2.2r6 have ?
    Does any of these have kernel 2.14.7 or above ?

Your Question:
> First of all, why do you want to upgrade your kernel ?

I need it because that is the system requirement given to us by the vendor,
this
system happens to be a NAS head with xfs filesystem. The client has
everything
set up on this. And my Client is not around for 2 weeks, so I cannot put
this query to him.
And
Thanks for the kernel upgrade procedure

Can something be more can be added on this, is it that debian has not

Thanks and Regards
