Problem: You want to upgrade the kernel of your SME 6.0 Solution: Follow this Howto Recommendation: This howto still in Beta For Lastest version of kernel look at ccskavenger

STEP 1: Download the rpm of the new kernel:

You can find link here

kernel-2.4.27mstslp04-1.i386.rpm : Single processor version

STEP 2: Install the rpm

rpm -ivh

# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.27mstslp04-1.i386.rpm

STEP 3: Create initrd
mkinitrd

# mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.27mstslp04.img 2.4.27mstslp04

STEP 4: Edit lilo.conf file

Edit /etc/lilo.conf
Copy one of the existant topic and adapt it
For exemple :

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.7
        label=Mitel-SME-up
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-18.7.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/sda3
        append="hda=ide-scsi"

That's a part of my /etc/lilo.conf file
After adaptation you should have :

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27mstslp04
        label=SMEServer-2427
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.27mstslp04.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/sda3
        append="hda=ide-scsi"

STEP 5: Expand template for lilo.conf

Make an expand-template for /etc/lilo.conf
Yes after modification

# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/lilo.conf

STEP 6: Install lilo

If you have errors, it show you when you have launched this command

# lilo

STEP 7: Change /etc/modules.conf

Change file /etc/modules.conf for pptp use

# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/modules.conf/
# cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/modules.conf/10ppp-compress-aliases /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/modules.conf/
Change line :
"alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe",
For :
"alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe_mppc",
