Did the upgrade and updated grub and /etc/modules, no problems. This is my first install with grup, always used lilo. Can anyone tell me how to turn off ACPI and set smaller fonts? I have no X installed so smaller fonts on the console would be nice. Thanks -- /ernst-magne Webmail @ vindal.com - Debian - Apache2 - Mailen er sendt med SquirrelMail.

If you do let the upgrade go through, and you use lilo to boot, remember to update lilo.conf and *rerun lilo* before you reboot, otherwise the boot process eill not be able to find the new kernel and the old one will be gone. I had this problem once, when aptitude decided to replace a kernel. It doesn't seem to happen when I installed a kernel of a comletely different verison number (like 2.6.7 to 2.6.8 -- in that case I just get both kernels. But it did once decide to replace a kernel ... In that case rerunning lilo is necessary. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
