Then regenerate your ramdisk image, for example: cd /boot mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.4.18-k7 /lib/modules/2.4.18-k7 (This is a guess by reading the docs, I have not tested myself). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

That might be the default behaviour on an i386-compatible but on sparc (and probably all non-i386 archs) a 2.4 kernel is installed by the woody-install. IIRC even on an i386 a 2.4 kernel can be installed by woody through the bf2.4-flavour. regards, Thomas -- - Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Where might one find documentation on this bf2.4 kernel? Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña wrote: Now that I think of it this might be an issue with self-installed kernels.
