Hey all, I upgraded the kernel version to 2.4.0, using the debian method (make-kpkg and then dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.0....deb) but my old kernel (2.2.17, with came by default on my system) is marked as uninstalled by dpkg's status file (/var/lib/dpkg/status) but vmlinuz-2.2.17 and some other 2.2.17 files are in /boot. The /lib/modules/2.2.17 is also in place. There is also a /vmlinuz.old symlink pointing to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17.
How can I get rid of this old kernel package without corrupt the package system (did I do that already?) Another problem: my /lib/modules/2.4.0/modules.dep file is empty, and modprobe always tells me that it can't find the module I try to load. I'm worried because i compiled sound support as modules, and i would like to have those modules loaded on demand, using default parameters (irq and so on), but i don't know the place to put those parameters.
