Installing mdk 10.0 and it did not see my CD so had to make boot disk and the only kernel that would boot and use my CD was 2.4.x

I went through the README and Install notes on the CD before installing and tried all the tips and tricks to get 2.6 kernel to install but somehow it just never materialized...

Is there a way using urpmi to upgrade my kernel to the newer 2.6.x and is it going to work farily well over a dialup line and 56k modem?

Also, where are the new kernel rpm's for the upgrade located? I cant seem to find any..

[moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

The new Kernel rpms can be found on any update source for urpmi.

You can also upgrade to the 2.6 kernel that's on your cd's if you want (it is recommended that you get the updated version) by opening a console, su to root, and type:

That should give you a list of kernels to choose from, all of which should be on your cd's.

I like the CD install better because I don't have broadband but your suggested code resulted in the following..

[mike@kirk mike]$ su -
Password:
[root@kirk root]# cd
[root@kirk root]# urpmi kernel
Everything already installed
[root@kirk root]#

Should I have had the CD 1 mounted?

No, you shouldn't.

Try this:

urpmi kernel-2.6

Gesh... sometimes i wonder if i'm to stupid to run linux ...
uummm.... excuse me Mike... Have you heard of Mandrake Control Center...
YIKES.... that's all it took... install... search <kernel> .... select 2.6.x ....
and INSTALL it.. wow... what a concept...

I really HATE getting older cause some days it's like walking in my sleep from the time i get up till i go back to bed... Next day i don't have a clue what happened the day before..

Anyway... updated from my CD and all is well in 'mikie land'...

Thanks all for your replies and helpfull suggestions..

When I try

[root@acer ben]# urpmi kernel-2.6

I get

Some package requested cannot be installed:
kernel-2.6.3.14mdk-1-1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied sysfsutils) (Y/n) y

Any idears??

OK so I got my rpm db sorted and the

urpmi kernel-2.6

Worked ok but came back with init error

Now when I try and run the 2.6 from grub I get a

kernel panic

complaining about init again

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this sorted

Yet again thanks

hello,

rewrite_log_lock"

I have the above problem with httpd2,and reading the posts here, I became confused. Can somebody tell me howto solve this problem. I am currently running 2.6.3-7mdk. What version of kernel should I use to upgrade the existing one?

thanks

Make sure you download a matching kernel-source and your lilo.conf is made right.
