I am running debian etch with - Linux thor 2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 25
21:08:54 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux ; I am running this with Raid 5 and LVM.

I would like to update to 2.6.29 ; I found this article but i am little
stuck, can you help ?

the article is:
http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/debian_kernel2.6_compile/

The steps are:

1. *apt-get install kernel-package ncurses-dev fakeroot wget bzip2

2. **wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2

3. *

*tar xjf linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2*

*cd linux-2.6.29/*


*4.**make menuconfig*
*make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image

5. **apt-get update
apt-get install module-init-tools initrd-tools procps

6. cd ../

**dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.29_custom.1.0_i386.deb

7. **cd /boot/
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.29 2.6.29

8. I reboot and and choose the 2.6.29 option from grub.

But i am getting an error that it can not find or mount the filesystem.

If i reboot again and choose the older config, everything is back to normal
and i am working with the old kernel.

Can anyone assist ???

thanks
