well synaptic is now prompting that I have to
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 2.6.2-1-686)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial
Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for
booting).
As a reminder, in order to configure LILO, you need
to add an 'initrd=/initrd.img' to the image=/vmlinuz
stanza of your /etc/lilo.conf
I added this line to /etc/lilo.conf (marked with ->)
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
read-only
# restricted
# alias=1
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
-> initrd=/initrd.img
read-only
optional
# restricted
# alias=2
I that correct?
after saving I have to run
lilo
in a shell. haven't I? Or what does "run lilo" mean?
synaptic message:
If you have already done so, and you wish to get rid of this message,
please put
`do_initrd = Yes'
in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Note that this is optional, but if you do not,
you'll continue to see this message whenever you install a kernel
image using initrd.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]
n - I don't want to stop?
sorry for my precaution but that's the first time I touched the kernel.
thanks Martin
