Did you install pcmcia-cs and recompile & install your pcmcia modules for the new kernel...

Recently, I upgraded to 2.4.9 on an otherwise pure Potato install. It went without any mention-worthy hiccups. Did you read the file Documentation/changes.txt? Do upgrade all packages mentioned there manually, but do not bother about the rest. It is not necessary. Are you using Debian's "kernel-package" package? It is...great, and very simple to use; keeps the Debian package system in the loop as you muck around with kernel versions, etc. > I tried forcing 2.4.9kernel image in lilo but it doesn't load.

And I want to get debain working. I would suggest you remove any modified kernel, install a original kernel-image from Potato, and religiously follow the comments for upgrade in 2.4.9/Documentation/Changes. And use kernel-package. -karra -- Life sans X sounds just as bad as life sans SeX. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
