Not necessarily. It could mean that the new kernel has been compiled with
a device driver that Linux doesn't like. My guess would be a pnp sound
card. If this is the case, the pnp card might have to be initialized with
WIndows before rebooting and loading in Linux.

Subject: needing new kernel-image maintainer
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Currently I'm the maintainer of kernel-image. I got it from Bruce when
I started working on boot-floppies, but I don't have enough time to do
both (neyond a lot of other things).
Tasks involve:
- building the regular packages kernel-image, kernel-source etc.
- enhance the packaging procedure
- integrate well-tested patches
- create special kernels
- help people who blame the kernel for their problems
- some cooperation with the boot-floppies maintainers (currently Dale
Scheetz and me)
