OK, I'm new to debian, so I probably screwed up something simple. This is my second attempt to upgrade the kernel--it won't boot properly into the new 2.4.12 kernel (I also tried 2.4.9 several weeks ago--same result). I can still boot into my old kernel, however (2.2.19pre17)
I've downloaded the kernel-image-2.4.12-686 (and the corresponding headers, source, and doc file) I double checked to make sure the initrd=/boot/initrd line was added to lilo.conf (I believe it was added automatically when I tried this the first time, but I could be wrong). It's like the third uncommented line in the file. I made sure the initrd link pointed to the correct (2.4.12) file. I made sure that the following were installed: devfds, initrd-tools, iptables, mkcramfs, libxml2, libxml2-dev and usbmgr. I added the following to my source.list: deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main And I ran apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade. When I reboot, I get a lot of errors. They flash by fast--but this is the general gist. There was some error regarding partitions, cramfs and magic numbers. Then there are a ton of missing module messages. Then it tries to boot into X and fails--leaving me at a command line. I do have basic functionality from the command line. If I restart and boot into my old kernel, everything works. Any ideas? -Rich- _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
