I am struggling with a kernel upgrade with a woody box, installed from 3.0r0 CD. I installed with a 2.2.20 kernel, not sure what flavor. This being the first time I did anything kernel related, I did what I thought was the simplest thing, and chose the 2.2.20 image from security.debian.org, using dselect.
After the upgrade, the box would not boot, hanging after the LILO screen (Loading..........). I inserted cd #1, and at the boot: prompt rescue did not work, but rescvanl did. Installing the latest (woody) 2.4.18 kernel image had the same result. It has been suggested to me (but I am not sure) that the problem is the images don't have support for my adaptec SCSI card. It is a 2940, and I believe it needs the aic7xxx module, per googling a bit. I see that module on my machine at /lib/modules/2.4.18-1-686/kernel/drivers/scsi with a date of last night, at about the time I did the install. I am very close to being over my head, so "small words" would be great. Thanks! -Ben __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
