It shouldn't have gone away in a Have you updated other packages in your system? If you update the kernel, you should update the rest of the kernel-related userspace tools (mkinitrd is hardly "yet another userspace application"). Debian default kernel is 2.4 and only provides a 2.6.8-based kernel (2.6.8 was released in august 2004, 17 months ago) as an alternative, and the debian guys put this in the release notes: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#s-upgrade-to-2.6 "[...] Upgrading to a 2.6 kernel from an earlier version is therefore not a process to be undertaken lightly" and "5.2.4 Switching to 2.6 may activate udev" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
