Re: Oops. New kernel will not come up

Quoting Timothy C. Phan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
   How do I do dkpkg -i old k-i if the system would not
   come up at all?

You can't. But that's not the point. You can boot any kernel in
any old way (rescue disk, boot floppy, bootable CD, etc.
and mount your filesystem.

You may not even have to run dpkg: moving the links in / and /boot
(+- running lilo) may be enough.

Cheers,

 It may be a buggy kernel.  dpkg -i old kernel-image (the one that works).  
 Try downloading the k.-s.-2.2.14-4 and configuring from there.
 
 I had problems with the k-s-2.2.14-3.

 Timothy   Could someone please help?  TIA!
