kernel 2.4 with debian etch?
Hi. Is it possible, and how?, to install the kernel 2.4 with Etch? It seems that I don't manage to install it typing `linux24' at boot from CDROM. Thanks, Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Major kernel-related changes - Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 ships with kernel version 2.6.18 for all architectures; the release is still mostly [1] compatible with 2.4 kernels, but Debian no longer provides or supports 2.4 kernel packages. There have been major changes both in the kernel itself and in the packaging of the kernel for Debian. Some of these changes complicate the upgrade procedure and can potentially result in problems while rebooting the system after the upgrade to etch. This section gives an overview of the most important changes; potential issues and information on how to work around them is included in later chapters. If you are currently using a 2.4 kernel, you should read Section 5.2, `Upgrading to a 2.6 kernel' carefully.

This is interesting, because I upgraded a Sarge machine with kernel 2.6.8 to Etch and a 2.6.18 kernel and had a major problem immediately after rebooting (could not login to the machine at all). However I then upgraded a Sarge machine with a 2.4.27 kernel to Etch but keeping the 2.4.27 kernel and I have not had a problem yet at all. If you're installing fresh, you might consider installing Sarge with a 2.4.27 kernel first, and then upgrade the machine, as I did. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
