If you are using the grml-testing repository just run 'aptitude install linux-image-2.6.22-grml', otherwise just download http://dufo.tugraz.at/~prokop/grml-kernel/2.6.22-grml/linux-image-2.6.22-grml_grml.01_i386.deb and install it using 'dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.22-grml_grml.01_i386.deb'. Make sure you have a initramfs for booting your box with the new kernel version, in case of question just execute 'update-initramfs -c -t -k 2.6.22-grml'. Finally make sure you have an entry for 2.6.22-grml in /etc/lilo.conf when using lilo and don't forget to execute lilo then. If you are using Grub just run 'update-grub'. That's it and that's the way how I upgrade my systems as well. :) regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
