Re: Getting W: mdadm: -- Actually should be apt-get or aptitude question

 Actually should be apt-get or aptitude question So it reboots with old since the link
/initrd.img
/vmlinuz
both point at the old kernel 2.6.8-3-386.

I've tried
aptitude with the L command over the
newer desired kernel which should reinstall but it didn't fix /initrd.img adn /vmlinuz links to point to new kernel. I tried
apt-get --reinstall install linus-image2.6.18-5-k7 but that didn't fix the links either.

So, why are aptitude and apt-get --reinstall not doing the links correctly?

Should I just log in as root and:
1. make my own links to new kernel
2. run lilo and save to master boot record or will these 2 steps scew up modules or something else?

Thanks
