How do I upgrade from current kernel of 2.6.17-2 to at least 2.6.18?


Hi,

I am attempting to bring my server up from etch to lenny and during that process I need to upgrade my kernel to at least 2.6.18. I am currently on 2.6.17-2 and get the following error for my sources.list file:

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

Etch is not supported anymore, sou you have to get the kernel from the archives. To do that you have to change your sources.list, it should look like this:
Code:
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ etch contrib main non-free

Key no longer valid to log into server

Thanks TobiSGD for the quick response. I was able to get that far after my post, however I have been struggling with getting a new key because my old key expired in March that allows me access to the debian server archive.

Here is my latest error:

Err http://archieve.debian.org etch Release.gpg
Temporary failure resolving 'archieve.debian.org'
Err http://archive.debian.org etch Release.gpg
Temporary failure resolving 'archive.debian.org'
Failed to fetch http://archieve.debian.org/debian/di...ch/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'archieve.debian.org'

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archieve.debian.org etch/contrib Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archieve.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_contrib_binary-amd64_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Here is my sources.list contents:

#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot amd64 Binary-1 (20061111)]/ etch main

deb http://archieve.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
# deb http://archive.mirrors.kernel.org/ etch/main contrib non-free

Thanks

At first, correct the spelling error in your sources.list, it is archive, not archieve.
Besides that, I have no problems surfing to the mentioned repository, so I would assume that your Internet connection is down or not configured correct.
Please post the output of
Code:
ifconfig
(must be run as root), and
Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
