Sometime in November, i think, doing a mandrakeupdate, i remember it said that it had updated my kernel on LM8.1 to kernel-2.4.8-43.lmdk.
I've had to reboot, first time since i turned the machine on way back last year. I got a lilo warning about bios memory being too big. looking in the /boot directory the vmlinuz-2.4.8-43.lmdk file, which lilo was pointing to had a file size of 0. I've managed to get the system up and running under kernel-2.4.8-23 that was on the lm8.1 install disks but i'm having can't load iptables, wrong versions. And it says it can't find files in /proc. I've looked for kernel-2.4.8-43.lmdk but can't find a download on the mandrake site. they have a link for kernel-2.4.8-34.lmdk, but that link seems to be dead. I've tried to update with LM9 but complains about insufficient disk space, which i don't really want to modify. The system has only to last another 3 or 4 weeks. Then i can wipe it and start again. Does anybody know what kernel i can install on this lm8.1 machine. Many thanks Ken ps does anybody know where or how to change the scsi card driver, it insists on booting up saying i have a different card than i actually have. And then it complains about not being able to mount the scsi drives which are there. I have to go into harddrake after boot to change the module but it doesn't remember on the next boot.
