Hi,

The instructions talk about checking params in the boot/config-`uname-r` file which doesn't exist on my system. In fact the /boot directoryon my system is empty. How do I get this config file in there? Do I needto install some package like kernel source or something to get it inthere? I'm running Debian Lenny 5.0.7 on Sparc x64 BTW

If the /boot directory is empty, then it is likely to be just the mountpoint and you haven't mounted the /boot partition there for some reason.

You can have /boot within the / (root) partition or you can have aseparate partition for it. You probably have the latter, just mount it.
