Initially I installed Debian 3.0r1 which has the 2.2.20-idepci kernel

upgrading from 2.2.20-idepci to 2.4.22
1. su
2. cd /usr/src
3. apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.22
4. bunzip2 kernel-source-2.4.22
5. tar -zf kernel-source-2.4.22
6. apt-get install pcmcia-source
7. tar -xzf pcmcia-cs
8. apt-get install ncurses-dev
9. ln -s kernel-source-2.4.22 linux
10. cd linux
11. make menuconfig
12. make dep
13. make bzImage
14. make modules
15. make install   (say yes to lilo)
16. make modules_install
17. nano /etc/lilo.conf   (check that old kernel is still there...)
18. lilo
19. restart

upgrading 2.4.22 to 2.6.0-test9
1. su
2. cd /usr/src
3. apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.0-test9
4. bunzip2 kernel-source-2.6.0-test9
5. tar -zf kernel-source-2.6.0-test9
6. apt-get install pcmcia-source
7. tar -xzf pcmcia-cs
8. apt-get install ncurses-dev
9. ln -s kernel-source-2.6.0-test9 linux
10. cd linux
11. make menuconfig
12. make dep
13. make bzImage
14. make modules
15. make install   (say yes to lilo)
16. make modules_install
17. nano /etc/lilo.conf   (check that old kernel is still there...)
18. lilo
19. restart
