vmlinuz-2.4.9 is doing the thing. The package is named
kernel-image-2.4.9-sun4u, so I thought that I have to boot
vmlinuz-2.4.9-sun4u.
Well, now I messed upped my X, but that is another story.

well, I don't see a /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-sun4u file, so yes, try with
vmlinuz-2.4.9 only.  and vmlinuz is also pointing to an image that does
not exist, namely vmlinuz-2.2.19...

well, this symlink seems to be pointing to wrong kernel.  or was that a
typo?  (2.4.7 should be 2.4.9 if you installed that package).



it was a typo, it points to *.9



I would make sure that your silo package is also up to date.  and what
does your /etc/silo.conf look like?

I have an ultra10 with UltraSparcII i 440MHz

/boot is the first partition

what does "wont reboot" mean?  what is the error...how far does it get?


ok at boot prompt I tried following:

linux -> boots fine

linux_test or vmlinuz or /vmlinuz-2.4.9-sun4u or /vmlinuz-2.4.7-sun4u 
-> silo says cannot find .



may I try it with /vmlinuz-2.4.9?




thanks

well, this symlink seems to be pointing to wrong kernel.  or was that a
typo?  (2.4.7 should be 2.4.9 if you installed that package).

I would make sure that your silo package is also up to date.  and what
does your /etc/silo.conf look like?

what does "wont reboot" mean?  what is the error...how far does it get?

also, are you on a sun4u arhictecture machine?  if you are on a 32bit
machine, you should stick to the 2.2 kernel for now.

how to install new kernel

[hakubw00]

Hello,

I am running 2.2.19-sun4u on an ultra10. The 2.2.19 has an nfs-mount
bug, so I would like to upgrade my kernel.
apt-cache search kernel gives me

kernel-image-2.4.9-sun4u

after installing it I have a symlink /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7

But my machine wont reboot.
How do I have to upgrade my kernel, what packages do I need?
