I'm running Debian kernel version
2.4.27-2-386. I needed to upgrade Apache (from 2.0.54) & PHP (from
4.3.10-16) on our system. After doing “apt-get update” I executed
the command: apt-get -y install apache2-mpm-prefork
apache2-doc lynx php4 libapache2-mod-php4 Using -y, the only prompt I received was
near the bottom of the output (see excerpt below), to which I answered 'No' when it asked whether I wanted to remove
the kernel =:0 I haven't yet killed the apache2
processes, but do you know if the msgs below indicate a real problem? Why would
there be a need to remove the kernel? Should Apache2/PHP run ok anyway? I haven’t
yet killed the apache2 processes so they still run ok for now. Is it likely I have
a problem? Thanks again, Ron ======================= Removing kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 ... You are running a kernel (version
2.4.27-2-386) and attempting to remove the same version.
This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only will
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 be removed, making it impossible to boot
it, (you will have to take action to change
your boot loader to boot a new kernel), it will also remove
all modules under the directory
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386. Just having a copy of the kernel image is
not enough, you will have to replace the modules too. I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at
all in doubt, answer no. If you know exactly what you
are doing, and are prepared to hose your system, then
answer Yes. Remove the running kernel image (not
recommended) [No]? No dpkg: error processing

script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: initrd-tools:
