Rather than re-install from the option 2.6 I want to upgrade, and 2 days of research in the various documentation has fallen short of the goal. Any advice?Just install a 2.6 kernel apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-686 # replace the 686 by the correct cpu variant, try "apt-cache search kernel-image-2.6" for more options If you have a default sarge 2.4 kernel (i.e. not a self-compiled one) that should be all.If you self-compile, then it's a lot like 2.4: # apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.10 libncurses-dev libqt3-mt-dev # cd /usr/src # tar xvfj kernel-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2 # rmdir linux && ln -sf kernel-source-2.6.10 linux # cd linux # make clean # make {x|menu}config # make modules_install # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx # cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.xx # cp .config /boot/config-2.6.10 # vi /etc/lilo.conf ## If you're Old School! # lilo -v Once you get a good kernel, then when next you upgrade, you'll be able to run "make oldconfig". It's glass-TTY, but makes it trivial to retain existing config options.
Holy smokes. What is all this about? No one on Debian should be building a kernel like this unless they have a really good reason. Install kernel-package and read the documentation or check out this site: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
