deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted universe

well, all the modules are correctly loaded at the boot with standard
kernel, but i'm trying to compile another one optimized for my tibook.

(proposed)
but...why not add in the universe a couple of kernel-images optimized
for laptop G3 and G4?

for example a kernel for ibook/tibook G4 with the support
of /proc/cpufreq and without the unnecessary modules (scsi for example)


(bug)
another problem that i think important:

recompile a kernel with make-kpkg in dabian way
install it with dpkg -i
reboot and choose "Old" as kernel image.

paff!! kernel panik!  

the problem is that /etc/yaboot.conf there is a line in "old" room like

	initrd=/boot/initrd.old


but in /boot there is a link

	/boot/initrd.img.old

so during the boot the kernel cannof found the correct image and crash.
I hope that someone can fix it quickly

regards,
MaX
