I have replaced the stock etch kernel with 2.6.26-bpo.1-686 by adding backports to my sources.list and the following to /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: linux-image-2.6-486 Pin relase a=etch-backports Pin-Priority: 999 If I run aptitude and press "G" I get prompted to downgrade my kernel to version linux-image-2.6.18-4-686. Obviously I don't want this to happen. I wish to resolve this before upgrading to Lenny. What is the correct way of doing this? TIA.
