There are a lot of docs about that.
Take a look a the kernel How-to

hi:
I am running Debian Sarge. under /etc/ i see lots of files like;

can anyone point me to the right url or docs that explains how kernel

Thanks

hey richard,
one thing i'd check is if lilo is configured correctly. for example,
perhaps lilo is set to boot from /vmlinuz (where that is still a symlink
to /boot/vmlinuz-2.3.16-586tsc) and the kernel package installed it in
/boot/vmlinuz (as a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18)?

O
I've just compiled and installed a new kernel, using make-kpkg. However,
I'm not sure it's actually running. uname -a still gives me 2.4.18-586tsc,
which is the old one - my new kernel doesn't have the 586tsc bit on the
end of the name, and in any case is a 686 kernel - I've recently upgraded

Hello all!
I'm having a problem with accessing my CD drive, and I was hoping to possibly
get a little insight into the situation. Basically the situation is that I
have an IDE CD-RW drive, but I can't get much to find it. Normally it would
be /dev/hdc, but I have the ide-scsi option (append="hdc

The kernel that comes with Debian potato is configured
with APM=y. Because i want my desktop computer to
power down automatically with the halt command, it was just
a matter of adding: append="apm=on" to my lilo.conf
Then if your m.b. supports APM it powers down. Just a

Is the /usr/src/linux/.config file identical to the one used to compile
your existing kernel?
