Linux cyberdelia 2.4.27-2-386 #1 Mon May 16 16:47:51 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

this is my kernel that ive got now!
i want to update on 2.6 but i dont know which one i should install!
i've got an amd athlon xp 2000+
so can i use this kernel -> kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on AMD K7

because my system that ive got now got a 386 kernel!
and if anybody want to, it would be really nice when somebody can show me how to install the kernel, because im a linux
please help

reilly

If this is any help, I'm using the 2.6.8-2-k7 kernel, and I have an amd sempron 2200+ so I'm guessing it's safe for you to use too.

yes thats the kernel to use otherwise the 386 will also work just fine.

command line: apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7
command line: apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.11-1-k7

if you need anything else in debian use: apt-cache search "whatever your looking for put here without quotes"

should work

now i've got the old kernel and my new one in boot? what should i do now ?

I have never upgraded my kernel, but I believe that you have to reinstall the boot loader and then reboot... I'm not 100% sure so you might want to wait for a more solid answer

ok, i'm waitin' before restart :/

which boot loader do you use ?

LILO or GRUB ?

if you use grub just select the new kernel

ok ty
i've got another questions its not about that thread but anyone who got some very nice torsmo configs for debian ?

and for grub :
its going on my nerves that i can select 4 kernels :S

2.6
2.6 (recover)
2.4
2.4 (recover)

how can i remove 2.4 ?


//EDIT :
i restarted my system and i bootet from 2.6 it said that X cant load because its just for 2.4 or sth. else so i removed the line Driver "nvidia" and put in Driver "nv" now its working but i need my nvidia drivers...please help

use this guide...any other questions I would suggest you use the search feature on this site like I did to find all the answeres you just asked when I needed help

You also need to follow that guide to the "T" such as adding new sources to your sources file.

command line: apt-get remove "xxxx"

is used to remove packages!

If you have debfoster installed, you can run it and when it asks if you want to keep your old kernel, say no.

reilly - if you have alternatives in your bootloader that you want to remove, please edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, the config-file could also be located in /etc/grub.conf depending on distro, Im not sure about slackware.

Take a copy of it before just incase:
'cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup'
