 ! dhcp client 
 The dhcp client startup script looks to suffer from the same problem. Edit the shell script /sbin/dhclient and make the same changes - add a "6" to the part that says ~[12345].

-!!Kernel 2.6 on RedHatLinux 9:  
-  
-Kernel 2.6 is now available in RawHide.  
-  
-If you still want to use Arjan's pre-Rawhide kernel builds, keep reading.  
-  
-Add the following lines to your apt/sources.conf ([What, you don't use apt?|AptForRpm])  
-  
-<verbatim>  
- # Arjan's 2.6 series kernel repository  
- rpm http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel  
- rpm-src http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel  
-</verbatim>  
-  
-Select the latest snapshot to install:  
-  
-<verbatim>  
-[root@brian root]# apt-get install kernel

-Package kernel is a virtual package provided by:  
- kernel-smp#2.6.0-0.test5.1.34 2.6.0-0.test5.1.34  
- kernel-BOOT#2.6.0-0.test5.1.34 2.6.0-0.test5.1.34  
- kernel#2.6.0-0.test5.1.34 2.6.0-0.test5.1.34  
- kernel-smp#2.4.20-9 2.4.20-9

-(in this case, 2.6.0-0.test5.1.34)

-[root@brian root]# apt-get install kernel#2.6.0-0.test5.1.34

-Wait for about 20Mb of downloads...

-Things to note:  
-  
-* IO-[APIC] was broken but it got fixed in test8.  
-* Label based mounting and initrd was broken but they're fixed now.  
-* [USB] module names have changed. You need to ensure that the module names are right, and if you can't get USB devices going, try modprobing esd-ohci or something similar. You should be able to cleanly boot 2.4 and 2.6 together.
