This is how I got it to work. 1. Downloaded kernel-image-2.4.21-sparc32-smp.deb 2. Converted to an rpm with alien 3. cpio2rpm kernel-image-2.4.21-sparc32-smp.rpm | cpio -i 4. Copied all the files by hand to where they needed to go 5. symlinked the new kernel 6. rebooted to the 2.4.21 kernel 7. apt-get -f install 8. apt-get dist-upgrade No perfect, but it got me around my problem. -- Bob Tanner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = AB15 0BDF BCDE 4369 5B42 1973 7CF1 A709 2CC1 B288
