Upgrading a 2.2 kernel (3.0r2) to 2.6
I'm just wondering, what's the best practice for upgrading a default
installation 3.0 installation to the latest and greatest? I'd really rather
avoid rolling my own kernels, it always ends up being a pain to maintain,
and I have several servers to look after. The reason I'm asking is that I
just got debian (r2) on a dedicated server over the other side of the globe,
and I basically went like this:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6
vi /etc/lilo.conf (for adding the initrd stuff)
/sbin/lilo
reboot
... And it unfortunately decided not to come back up. The tech support there
are playing with it as we speak. So where did I go wrong? I've scoured
google for the last few hours, all I can seem to find are people documenting
installing from source, but I'm not finding much on "type these 6 commands
and it all just magically works". Anyone got any suggestions?
