| How do I upgrade Sarge to the 2.6 kernel? Is it simply a matter of an
apt-get?

There's a virtual package called "kernel-image-2.6", so
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6
or
aptitude install kernel-image-2.6
should do the trick.
You could also look at the output of
apt-cache search ^kernel-image-2.6
and the install a kernel that specifically fits your
archtitecture/preocessor.

Hi,
well, if you want some perfect kernel in your system, why don't you try
to get the sources (the Sarge package is called something like
kernel-source-2.6.8-...) und compile it on your own?
If you know something about programming it should be no problem. But you
should know your hardware very well and it'll take some time to write
the kernel-configuration (there really are too much options).
Good luck
Sebastian

Yes
apt-cache search kernel-image or kernel-source
then you will see a list. Just pick the latest.
Of course, the original kernel can be found on kernel.org
if you choose to compile from source >> google is your friend.

Hi,
I'm an ex-Slacker, so my approach may not be very debianesque. But I am
running Sarge with the latest 2.6.14, and it works like a charm.
- Grab sources from kernel.org, untarzip in /usr/src, eventually symlink.
- cd /usr/src/linux
- cp arch/i386/defconfig ./.config --> this gives you a minimal no-bullshit
config.
- make menuconfig
- hard-compile filesystems and chipset, set the cpu right.
- Eventually, try out this minimal kernel without any peripherals.
- make bzImage modules modules_install
- adjust GRUB or LILO stanza
- set /etc/default/bootconfig to Yes
- reboot
- ...
- Now take a peek at dmesg and /var/log/boot output. Discover indicates you
exactly which modules it is looking for. Compile these (see above).
- Bits and pieces: PPP modules, Framebuffer, boot logo, ...
Don't be offended if I don't use make-kpkg, but that doesn't make sense to
me.
Cheers,
Niki Kovacs
