Today I upgraded to kernel-image-2.0.23_0.deb On reboot, I got the following message:
CPU is a 386 and this kernel was compiled for a 486 or better. The system then just gave up trying to boot. modules_2.0.0-13.deb and procps_1.01a-6.deb were also installed when i installed the new kernel image. Using a rescue disk, I was able to get to my / partition and moved System.old to System.map and vmlinuz.old to vmlinuz and ran LILO. The machine will now boot up, but it slows WAY down when it starts loading kernel modules. Is there anything else I need to change? Do I need to ditch modules_2.0.0-13.deb and procps_1.01a-6.deb and go to an older versions again? In fact, do I now need to be worried about the stability of the system? I had originally run "dpkg --purge kernel-image-2.0.23" hoping it would put things back but it didn't. ( Thats when i manually moved System.map and vmlinuz ) Is there no way to force dpkg to restore the old kernel images when this command is run, or could some script at least be added so if a user has kernel upgrade problems, the original kernel and stuff could be easily restored? And finally the big question, does the error message mean newer versions of Linux won't support 386's or just that the Debian distribution won't support 386's anymore. -- Willie Daniel | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | --- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
