wrong to install kernel-image, kde and gnome

Mathsniper · 02-21-2005, 08:24 AM

i used command apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade all package. see boot.list below

Code:

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-686 
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686
savedefault
boot

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-686 (recovery mode)
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686
savedefault
boot

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7-1-386 
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-1-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.7-1-386
savedefault
boot

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7-1-386 (recovery mode)
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-1-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.7-1-386
savedefault
boot

i just wanna run kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 plus KDE. But i can't start gdm at kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686(can't start XFree86, is it? no GUI displays...). Now i am working kernel-image-2.6.7-1-386. How can i remove 2.6.7 and work at 2.6.8 kernel???
thanks.

when i has installed, the configuration was telling me to install kernel-headers? which version and how to install?(apt-get install kernel-image-$version ???)

Code:

Package kernel-headers is a virtual package provided by:
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-k7-smp 2.6.8-13
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-k7 2.6.8-13
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686-smp 2.6.8-13
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686 2.6.8-13
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386 2.6.8-13
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-2 2.6.8-13
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-em64t-p4-smp 2.6.8-11
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-em64t-p4 2.6.8-11
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8-smp 2.6.8-11
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 2.6.8-11
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-amd64-generic 2.6.8-11
  kernel-headers-2.6.8-10 2.6.8-11
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-speakup 2.4.27-1
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-k7-smp 2.4.27-8
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-k7 2.4.27-8
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-k6 2.4.27-8
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-686-smp 2.4.27-8
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-686 2.4.27-8
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-586tsc 2.4.27-8
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-386 2.4.27-8
  kernel-headers-2.4.27-2 2.4.27-8

but i has installed kernel-image-2.6.7-2-386, can't find a corresponding kernel-headers. so i hope upgrade kernel-image to 2.6.7-2-386(what's difference between 386 and 686? what does the kernel-headers works?). please tell me how to do it. Thanks.
