no! if you do a kernel-upgrade under woody p.e. from 2.2 to 2.4, and you start with the kernel-headers you must after that of course install the corresponding kernel-image. in my experience the chap who put this 2.4 or other image in kpackage put a thread in it. this thread asks you if: 'you have installed from scrap, uh?? and then 'debian/kpackage' asks you if you will be so kind to add a line in lilo: something like initrd=/initrd.img and asks again if it must make a symlinc from lilo to the kernelimage in /boot. at that point. if i remember well, initrd-tools-package is already installed.We should wake up people, both of them ar wrong!!! :-) First, we are loading the kernel itself as an initrd image :-)) Second, it cannot be append, because initrd is the boot loader's task.

kpackage proceeds asking if it will change lilo-make-up. i said allways 'no' at that point. further try out the procedure for yourself to fresh up your memory completely. last time i did this was i guess two months ago.
kind regards, steef
