*this is for testing purpose only* You can not install a sparc packages on a sparc64 system. What you can do is extracting the package and copy the files ... # mkdir /tmp/kernel # dpkg -x package.deb /tmp/kernel # cd /tmp/kernel # ls -l Move these files over to the same directory, as listed. Watch out there is no initrd yet. You can create a new one with this command. # update-initramfs -c -k version More help information. # update-initramfs Usage: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs [OPTION]... Options: -k version Specify kernel version or 'all' -c Create a new initramfs -u Update an existing initramfs -d Remove an existing initramfs -t Take over a custom initramfs with this one -b directory Set alternate boot directory -v Be verbose -h This message And check the SILO bootloader config as wel. Just to be sure. Thanks, Frans van Berckel
