Thanks also to Gilboa Davara, Gilad Ben-Yossef and Muli Ben-Yehuda for
responding to this.
Now, I need the techl's:
1. What (if any) should I write in the grub.conf file in my laptop to
properly boot from /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-686?
2. Is there any other configuration, which I need to carry out?
Notes:
1. I still have /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-686
2. I do not have any /boot/initramfs* files
3. The package initramfs-tools is installed (version 0.53).
4. My laptop's installation is vanilla Debian Etch (Testing).
When googling for 'initramfs grub', I saw a Wiki page which mentioned
mkinitramfs, and I saw also that there is update-initramfs, but I do not
understand why the Debian package installation scripts of the kernel
packages did not take care of this in my behalf.
Thanks,
--- Omer
