You have two choices : 1) install 2.6.8 from sarge or 2.6.12 from etch, and then install 2.6.14 after reboot. You will be forced to do something similar because of udev anyway. 2) install initramfs-tools and then install the 2.6.14 kernel. Things are still in flux, and 2.6.14 will not enter etch until these upgrade paths are solved. Friendly, Sven Luther
