I have posted this query previously but I got no replies. I am trying
again because I think that this might be a bug. Some days ago I noticed
after mounting an nfs system that the kerneld process would spawn other
kernelds all the time ( sometimes also sh processses ) and then kill them
only to do it again . I didn't pay much attention to it. This however
happens also when I mount ncp systems with the ncpfs program . When I
unmount the systems the activity stops. I have got most of my base files
from unstable but I only have Linux kernel 2.0.0 Could that be the cause
??
I would appreciate any replies. Something else too.
I would like to upgrade my kernel to 2.0.27 but I am worried since I
haven't done that before. I only need a standard kernel so I was simply
thinking of updating my old image with a new one. However I guess things
like the System.map have to change as well. Will the kernel-image package
do all the necessary alterations ?? And what happens to the modules ?? .
Will I get the right ones if I simply upgrade the modules package ??
I realise that I might have to wait until the modules/modutils issue is
resolved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much
George.
