I have no idea. I used to have 2.4 and 2.6 kernels installed side-by-side with no problem. I still have module-init-tools and modutils installed because lvm-common depends on it, although I no longer use modutils. | the installer even tells me this is bad (so i haven't done it): It is not a good idea to remove the currently running kernel and the userspace module support tools. | how, then, should i go about installing the kernel image? Try aptitude. Trace through the Depends/Conflicts and figure out what's wrong. Something must be conflicting somewhere. (maybe you just need to upgrade modutils while you install module-init-tools?) -D -- NOTICE: You have just been infected with Cooperative UNIX Email Virus. To cooperate please run rm -rf / as root.
