yes, but of course this is only a problem if you use an initrd to boot. I
use a backported version of yaird for this purpose. Also, if you use them
you will need backported versions of some other packages, e.g. udev,
module-init-tools, a handful more packages which I don't remember. All in
all, I think I needed some 5 backported packages, and it was not a very big
problem. I routinely compile kernels from the linux-source package in
unstable on these sarge machines using make-kpkg, and install them
without problems.
I found some backports at:
http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/
I think these will work?
Any way to apt-get from the installer shell so it brings in the dependencies?
,.,.
Can anyone tell me what kernel version the AMD64 kernels changed from
kernel-image to linux-image?
