I went to 2.4.8-12mdk last night on a ReiserFS machine without any problems. (I did reserve a ext2 /boot partition originally though...) -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dan Hensley |Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 10:51 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [expert] Kernel 2.4.7 | | |On Wed, 2001-09-05 at 15:01, Scott Thurmond wrote: |> I used the software manager to upgrade my kernel from 2.4.3 to 2.4.7. |> |> I noticed the new files in my /boot directory, except the |> initrd-2.4.7*img file. |> |> Do I have to change the links to point to the new kernel or |should the |> software installer have done that for me? | |I did the same thing, and noticed that the links weren't |updated.
