When you do an 'ls -l' you will see that infact these are symlinks to a specific kernel image in /boot. So to use the newer kernel simply symlink the initrd.img and vmlinux to their respective kernel versions. For example in my lenny system they are: initrd.img -> initrd.img-2.6.26-1-powerpc vmlinux -> vmlinux-2.6.26-1-powerpc Good luck Amit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
