How to install subsequent kernel than linux-image-2.6.18 on debian way?
Hello! My system is Debian Etch, with linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 SMP. I want to upgrade my kernel, but in the repository can't find subsequent linux-image. What can I to do to get and install subsequent kernel on Etch than linux-image-2.6.18 on debian way? Any advices will be appreciated! -- Regards, Paul Csanyi http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

What can I to do to get and install subsequent kernel on Etch than linux-image-2.6.18 on debian way? I can think of four ways to have access to later kernels: - Upgrade to Testing/Lenny, though I'm not sure what kernels they offer. - Multi-boot/chroot lenny/sid in/alongside an etch system. - Run a hybrid system, etch with lenny/sid(?) apps in parallel. Not recommended for noobs, and I'm not sure it's possible with something as fundamental as the kernel. - Go to kernel.org and get the sources and build your own outside the packaging system. This is pretty easy to do, but moves you out of the mainstream. You'll be doing it by hand from now on. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

So, my system crash frequently.

The Debian way would be to get the sources from kernel.org, configure them and then use make-kpkg to create Debian packages, but: 1. you have to be able to configure the kernel 2. you won't be getting any debian patches and security upgrades. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It almost certainly would work fine. Not many things depend on a particular kernel version. Applications talk to libc, not the kernel. - Go to kernel.org and get the sources and build your own outside the packaging system. Or go to kernel.org and get the sources and use kernel-package to build your own inside the packaging system, or else just use the Debian source package. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

backports.org currently offers 2.6.22 packages for etch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
