On my explerimental partition, just for fun, and to test drivers, &c, I sometimes do things either adventursome or stupid, depending upon one's point of view.
I should like to install the grml 2.6.22 kernel, but, having installed the image, sources, some modules I use, &c, after mkinitrdramfs while the package is built and installed, lilo is correct, upon boot everything fails because, at least according to the running text, it does not find /lib/modules...?
Now, lib modules 2.6.22 is there, but very sparsely populated.
Could someone, forgiving my inexperience and inadequacy, tell me, step by step, how to make this kernel work, as I am either failing to install something necessary, or failing to create the proper initrd image?
If you are using the grml-testing repository just run 'aptitude install linux-image-2.6.22-grml', otherwise just download http://dufo.tugraz.at/~prokop/grml-kernel/2.6.22-grml/linux-image-2.6.22-grm... and install it using 'dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.22-grml_grml.01_i386.deb'.
Make sure you have a initramfs for booting your box with the new kernel version, in case of question just execute 'update-initramfs -c -t -k 2.6.22-grml'.
Finally make sure you have an entry for 2.6.22-grml in /etc/lilo.conf when using lilo and don't forget to execute lilo then. If you are using Grub just run 'update-grub'.
That's it and that's the way how I upgrade my systems as well. :)
