Matthias Yeah, this is fine and I am using apt, aptitude or synaptic, just the one I like in the moment. And the upgrade works perfectly. But doing so, this appeared another problem: The latest kernel (2.6.18-4-amd64) inhibits to load selfcompiled (and/or propritrary moduls). I my case it was fglrx (this is the ATI 3d-accelerator) and acer_acpi (which is needed on my notebook to activate the wlan-on/off-switch). Both inhibit to load with the same error: versions mismatch. With version 2.6.18-3-amd64 everything is working fine. (Of course I had the correct headers and sources installed) So I went back to the older kernel, well, the newest is not always the best working... Anyway, best regards and thanks for the help !

Selfcompiled and/or propriotary modules (infact all modules) have to be compiled for each kernel version. If you update the kernel then you have to update the modules.

Re: Automatic kernel-upgrade: How ?
Hi, I just have installed the package linux-image-2.6-amd64 This package depends on the latest binary image for Linux kernel This packages just installes an new image, if one is availabel. You have to uninstall the old one by hand. Cheers Am Mittwoch 07 Februar 2007 20:14 schrieb Hans-J. Ullrich: Hi all, in earlier times an apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade would automatically install newer kernel versions. This behaviour is no more, but some wrote, that a meta(?) package has to be installed, to get this behaviour back. Is this correct ? How do I rectivate this ? The problem is in 32-bit as in 64-bit the same. Thanks for the help. Regards Hans pgpAh67CUz5uR.pgp Description: PGP signature
