OK, so that worked. What change did re-running elilo make? Based on the MD5sums, there are new initrd and vmlinuz files. Seems like installing kernel-image-2.6.26-1-mckinley should have done that in its postinst script. What happens to the poor user who doesn't know to re-run elilo? (Not that I expect there are too many "poor users" running ia64 systems.) Thanks. - Aaron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
