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",



Signal change:

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


STEP 8: Update
iptables



Download and install the last version of iptables
HERE

#
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --force sme-iptables-1.2.9-01.i386.rpm

STEP 9: Signal
upgrade

#
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade





Signal upgrade to you SME so that new modules are recognized by the SME

STEP 10: Restart
the server



Restart the server and select the newest entry in the lilo menu

#
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot
