I installed a perfectly working debian 3.0 on a EV5 Compaq Alpha WS, running the 2.2.20 boxed kernel image.
Now I've been trying to install the 2.4.18 (or better the new 2.4.20) kernel image but I've been invariably ending up in a kernel panic. I think that the problem is that I was unable to say my Alpha WS that it should have used initrd at booting time as only hinted by the installation documentation (very poor indeed!). Could someone out there explain (step by step) how I can tell such a WS that I want to use initrd? Ciao Vittorio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
