Have you read one of the many guides on upgrading to 2.6? If not take a look at some of the following: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/799 http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5793467888.html A really good one to read is: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt Take extra note of the "Known gotcha's" section. The first one mentioned sounds like what you are experiencing with your machine. Also remember that you need to install module-init-tools if you are using modules. A module-init-tools package is in unstable and a backport can be found on http://backports.org. It works for me :-) > Obs: the kernel runs my lilo, and install things on /boot... im using the > image it puts > on /boot to boot. I'm not sure I understand what you are writing here. You are using kernel-package right? Its an absolutely brilliant tool for creating Debian packages of you kernels. -- Regards Martin Skøtt
