Thanks for the explanations and the excellent
document about creating a custom kernel. If
only more documentation were this complete
and thorough.

Past experience is that an intended straightforward
repair can easily turn out to be a significant
project. So my preference in this case is
to reinstall Lenny on the IBM NetVista or
to wait for grub-pc to be fixed.

Without grub-pc installed, I can not read
/usr/share/doc/grub-pc/NEWS* . Has anyone found
that a problem with grub-pc from a few months
back has been repaired? Has the time come
to reinstall grub-pc?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

What was the problem? In the text you quoted, there was no reasonable change
that could be made to grub-pc to address the issue; your /etc/kernel-img.conf
needed fixing. I suppose a re-install might fix it, too. But, that seems
inefficient compared to editing a text file.
