Re: kernel-image install doesn't work

You might have an old version of initrd-tools and/or your file /etc/mkinitrd/modules does not contain the filesystem modules you need. In my case I have ext2 and ext3 in there (each on a separate line). After modifying the file you have to run mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-586tsc-test /lib

Problem with kernel update

Hello, I am fairly new to Debian (not to Linux though) and run into a problem with the kernel update. I installed the system from a woody CD-ROM and then upgraded the system to the current 'unstable' release. So far everything went just fine. Then I wanted to upgrade the kernel from 2.2.20 to
