Kernel question

[Jason Warm]

David,
 I did as you suggested, and it did download the source kernel, but it
also tried updating my running kernel from 22-2f to 22-2g.  But  when it
tries to update it I get the following messge:
Kernel updated/installed, Checking for bootloader
No bootloader found, can not configure kernel, continuing
Installed : kernel 2.4.22-2g

Even after I reboot though, when I do a uname -a, it says I am still
running f.  I am on a PowerBook Wallstreet (old world).  Is there
something else I need to do?

Jason

Oh and as a side note since you seem to be the kernel guru today.  My
whole reason for doing this is I need to connect to an IP/SEC vpn.  It is
my understanding the 2.6 has this native, no FreeSwan needed.  Is that
true, and if so is it possible to install a 2.6 kernel under YDL 3.0.1.
