No, it can be installed. I reinstalled Woody on an old machine (just to
be sure). I installed from CD using the 2.4 kernel. CD 1 and 5 (the one
with the deb package for the 2.4.18-bf2.4 Kernel) are known to apt.
Look at this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -r
2.4.18-bf2.4
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4
kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4:
Installed: (none)
^^^^
Candidate: 2.4.18-5
Version Table:
2.4.18-5 0
500 cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386
Binary-5 (20021218)] unstable/main Packages
So the 2.4 boot floppy kernel _is_ installed and running, but apt does
not know it. This is what I meant when I wrote "Because the package
management does not know of the install kernel." It doesn't know it is
installed.
