For some reason though itinstalled a 2.4 kernel instead of 2.6. How can I upgrade my kernelwith out reinstalling or compiling my kernel myself?



apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686

The actual name depends on your architecture. Choose one that best fitsyour architecture.

This question comes frequently on this list. I realized that there is nodocument out there which answers this question completely. So, I openedup a wiki page http://wiki.debian.net/?KernelUpgradeTo2dot6

Hopefully others will add more info there.
