Ubuntu stopped support of the 2.4 kernel after Dapper. To my knowledge there should be a way to boot to the 2.4 kernel on the alternate installation image of Dapper (6.06).<br><br>-Adam<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Is there a way to force a particular kernel during an XU install<br>using the Edgy Desktop disk?<br><br>I think I need to start with the 2.4 kernel on a Portege 3490CT. So<br>far when I use a 2.6 kernel the laptop locks up either during the
<br>post install boot or after running a little while, with an error<br>message: "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off<br>(initramfs)" I've installed another distribution that let's me<br>
specify the kernel (Arch, a great distro BTW) and when I use 2.4<br>the Portege runs fine. The Xubuntu Alternate disk media check<br>says the disk is okay but install dies part way through the process.<br>Edgy installs okay from the Desktop disk but locks up later, and I'm
<br>guessing it used the 2.6 kernel by default, what else, and that might<br>be my problem.<br><br>The Portege passed 15 hrs of Memtest so I don't think it's a faulty<br>RAM problem. I have also come across references to a conflict between
<br>Linux and the Portege BIOS but can't find anything substantive.<br>Another reference mentions having to patch the kernel to work with the<br>Toshiba external multimedia port replicator<br>(<a href="http://www.manfred-kunde.de/projekte/nb_toshiba.html">
http://www.manfred-kunde.de/projekte/nb_toshiba.html</a>) which I have<br>and which might be related. Anyway, I'd like to try XU Edgy but with<br>a 2.4 kernel, if that's possible.<br><br>Thanks, John<br><br>--<br>
