No, I don't need 2.4.x to boot my machine. I've just been having problems on a laptop that started life as potato (2.2.x kernel) and was dist-upgraded to woody and then sid. I had been trying to install a 2.4.x kernel from the standard debian packages and at first stumbled over the initrd stuff and then had problems w/ modules. Since I'm at home today caring for a sick child, I will go over the modules and their configuration again and the diffs between using a 2.2.x kernel and the 2.4.x kernels. I would like to install woody and dist-upgrade it to sid on another machine. It might be simpler on a desktop w/o the pcmcia stuff to worry about. ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"
