Re: Raising minimum CPU requirement for i386 kernel
Hi, Bastian Blank schrieb: This means that Debian will get uninstallable on the following CPUs: - Intel i486, - Intel Pentium (MMX), - AMD K5, - AMD K6(-2, -3), Many schools are using LTSP on Debian (Edu) and have this hardware as their thinclients. Would be a shame if all those schools using free software cannot use the next release (and following) because their hardware is no longer supported.

D-I and wireless network
Hello, are there some commandline options to make sure d-i uses ethernet and ignore wireless? I'm doing automatic installations with preseeding, but couldn't get rid of the wireless messages yet.

automatic loading of kernel modules
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've got a question concerning automatic loading of kernel modules. If there is a better mailing-list than this, please point me towards it, I thought the people on this list would know best about kernel modules. Okay, this is my scenario: I'm using kernel 2.6.18 for xen, which ships the module bnx2 for the broadcom network card. Unfortunately this driver has a bug and doesn't work in bridging mode. I have compiled the new driver from broadcom, now here's my question: How do I make sure this new module gets loaded instead of the old one? So far I've overwritten the kernel module with my own one, but that is not a nice solution. The kernel's bnx2 module is under /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-xen-amd64/kernel/drivers/net. If I place the new module (same name: bnx2) e.g. under /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-xen-amd64/kernel/drivers/misc, how do I tell the kernel to load this module instead of the old one? Kind regards, - -- .''`.

Bug#406971: megaraid is aborting
Subject: cdrom: the kernel-driver/module megaraid isn't working correctly Package: debian-installer Severity: important Justification: breaks the whole system version: n/a: daily-build Debian GNU/LINUX testing Etch - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST Binary-1 20070112-09:17 *** Please type your report below this line *** We're using a HP Netserver LT6000r. After having installed the debian-etch base system correctly, I tried to boot our new system. But during boot, the megaraid driver fails.

Bug#406971: found kind of solution
Hey. I've made a new installation, but this time in expert mode. I kept it all the same, just installed the kernel 2.6.18-3-486 instead of 2.6.18-3-686. Now it's working fine. So I think it must have something to do with the linux-image-2.6.18-3-686, and not with the debian-installer. I installed the 686-kernel afterwards, rebooted with the 686-kernel, and now it's running. No idea what happened there, the hardware stayed the same, the installation was the same, just the kernel was different. Hope that helps, yours sincerely -- Philipp Hübner Leiter Selbstlernzetrum Cornelius-Burg-Gymnasium 41812 Erkelenz www.slz-cbg.de.vu ICQ:235-524-440 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
