how to uninstall new kernel

[Oliver Bleckmann]

hi guys,

what i did:
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6-powerpc_2.6.12-10_powerpc.deb

Installed the kernel, but my monitor shows no bootsequence, it is "out of
range". Why?
What config is used by the new kernel? Anything else to do?
How do I uninstall the new kernel and make the old default again?

A difference in the frame buffer? does it eventually give you an X window?

+ What config is used by the new kernel? Anything else to do?

The configuration is located in /boot/config-2.6.12-10powerpc (or
similar).

+ How do I uninstall the new kernel and make the old default again?

# dpkg -P linux-image-2.6-powerpc

-P means "remove and purge files". If you don't want to purge files,
then you only need "-r" (remove).

You may need a live CD to boot from if you can't get access some
other way (ssh?).

Just make that configuration the topmost in /etc/yaboot.conf.
