I have both of wheezy's kernel and udev packages installed. When I installed the wheezy kernel, it did not delete the squeeze kernel. I'dd have to do that explicitly. I cannot boot the wheezy kernel at all. I can boot the squeeze kernel, but it doesn't work very well with the wheezy udev, though it does limp along. I have another partition somewhere else that contains an up-to-date squeeze system. That one still works fine, and I am still using it for production. I'd like to use wheezy for production. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
