installing new kernel

["Brian T" <tptagth@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I am currently using Linux Debian 3.0 and kernel 2.2.20-idepci i686.  I 
would like to use kernel 2.4.20.

I'm doing this because I want to add sound support for my Dell Latitude nm 
256 sound.  First I wanted to recompile the 2.2.20 kernel.  I tried running 
"make-kpkg " prior but the error message is "command not found".  So, I 
tried to install this command via dselect but there was no item named 
"make-kpkg".

So, I used dselect and chose items like "kernel-image 2.4.20-5" and 
"kernel-sourc 2.4.20-5".  I assumed that when it installed the new kernel 
would be used.

In my / folder is a linked file named "vmlinuz pointing to 
boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-686".  And "vmlinuz.old links to 
boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20-idepci".

My lilo.conf is:

boot=/dev/hda2
root=/dev/hda3
compact
install=/boot.boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label = Linux
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img

If you can help that would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Brian Reed
