Which install kernel did you use? If you used the 2.2.20-idepci one, it's deliberately missing ipchains for space reasons. If you used bf2.4, then it's missing ipchains because 2.4 has the far better 'iptables'. Either way, the install guide mentions this, and you really should upgrade to a 'full' kernel-image-<version>-<cpu> kernel. > After doing some research, I decided to upgrade the kernel to a 2.4.18. > After making that selection using the "dselect" utility, and rebooting, now > the system doesn't boot anymore > It says something about "unable to mount root...". Did you follow the instructions? You HAVE to add the initrd line to your lilo.conf and rerun lilo (as it explicitly says) or else your system WILL NOT BOOT. In fact, you'll get this exact error. > What are the steps recommended to upgrade that kernel? Reading the instructions helps :) > Should I boot from the rescue CD? Yes. Boot from the rescue CD and fix your lilo.conf, rerun 'lilo', and you should be all set. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
