I've got a more recent kernel from backports and am currently struggling to install that. When I dun `dpkg -i <kernel.deb` it complained about missing `mkinitrd` and no "initrd" in my LILO. I've used `apt-get` to sort out the first issue but not sure what value to give "initrd=" in my LILO... presumably the current kernel image (vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4)?
For lilo, you would have something like this (copied from one of my servers): image=/vmlinuz label=linux initrd=/initrd.img
/vmlinuz and /initrd.img are symlinks to the actual kernel and initrd files in /boot.
I am beginning to wonder whether just going to 'sarge', even for this server, might be the best route after all...I've upgraded most of my servers to sarge with no problems at all - quite stable with no problems. However, that's just what we decided to do here...
