When you apt-getted the kernel, it should have placed the new kernel and the initrd.img in /boot, created symlink (vmlinuz and initrd) in / that points to them, and then run lilo. When lilo ran, it should have warned you about putting initrd=/initrd.img in /etc/lilo.conf. It should, and indeed it does whenever I upgrade the kernel.

How can I see If I have upgraded my kernel to 2.6.X (i.e.). I apt-get the kernel images, and I only see my 2.4 kernel (I think).

So, why isn't it working 2.6?.. Hi 1. Send me your /etc/lilo.cont, your hardware configuration, /etc/apt/sources.list. 2. Did you run apt-get update apt-get upgrade 3. apt-get install kernel-some_number 4. Can u write us why u wanna change to 2.6.x? If because its newer faster better I recommend you to NOT do it. Just upgrade to 2.4.25 from Debian. Bye Peter www.lentus.sk -=x=- Skontrolované antivírovým programom NOD32 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If you did not, add that line to the appropriate stanza in lilo.con, re-run lilo, and reboot. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
