Fwd: Re: Using a newer kernel with lenny

[Frank Zambrini]

I sent this reply to the wrong address first time around. Sorry about 
the confusion. I also added my switches for lh config

Thanks for the help, unfortunately it did not make a difference. Here is 
what I did:
(as root)
rm config/*
lh clean
lh config --archive-areas 'main non-free' -d lenny -b iso 
--apt-recommends false
lh build
And still got the same error. For some reason lh is still trying to 
install the 2.6.26 kernel. I even tried backing up my stuff and "rm -r 
config" but still had the same results.

I also tried the method suggested by intrigeri. I cloned the git repo, 
then copied the 
config/chroot_local-packages/aufs-modules-2.6-686_1.0_all.deb and 
squashfs-modules-2.6-686_1.0_all.deb packages to my 
config/chroot_local-packages and then set up the debian backports repo. 
It looks like this method will work, however I still have a small 
problem. Live helper installs two kernel versions; one for i486 and 
another for i686. The fake packages provided by T(A)ILS only covers i686 
so I still run into dependency problems. I'm not sure how to configure 
lh for i686 only (-a i686 did not work) so I may have to make i486 
versions of the squashfs and aufs packages. Once again, thanks for the help.
