I tried to upgrade the 2.2 kernel from Woody to 2.4.22 and installed kernel-image-2.4.22. During installation a large text but barely interpretable text about initrd.img is shown. Why can't the install make a fully correct lilo.conf by itself? Besides the text is wrong instead of "initrd=initrd.img" it should be "initrd=/initrd.img".
So far so good but after installation I don't have network access anymore, probably because 2.4.22 has the network driver as a module. Instead of this sermone about initrd, it'd be better if this fact were mentioned in the installation. A hint to use modconf after installation would be very helpful. The question remains why kernel-image packages don't require the modconf packages. It seems to me obvious that modconf has to be run after a kernel upgrade. How do I install modconf without a network connect? Okay just boot into the old kernel with network support. Well the kernel-image package adds the second entry to lilo.conf but forgets to uncomment the prompt and timeout parameteres. I don't know what would happened if the new kernel wouldn't run. O.
