Wondering if someone could point me to a how-to on upgrading the kernel using apt? I am running a fresh 9.0 install with kernel 2.4.21-144-default and using the grub boot loader.
The default kernel package is called k_deflt. You can install the new kernel with 'apt install k_deflt'. If you run a plain suse-9.0 install with grub as your boot loader, than that's it. Otherwise (with lilo) you need to run lilo afterwards, however the rpm will tell you this.
Having never done a kernel upgrade before, I'm looking for something with max hand-holding and simplicity (if that exists) ;-)
Thanks, Richard. I read somewhere about executing 'mk_initrd' before rebooting too (although I'm not sure what this does). Is this true? Thanks
