package: kernel
version: 2.6.26-rc8
Hi,
I followed your advice and added the necessary repositories to get the
2.6.26-rc8 kernel.
It works great and is 5 to 10 times faster.
However I still get some issues :
- The computer freeze after a few minutes of inactivity (I deactivated all
hibernation and the kind functions). The elapsed time after which the
computer freeze seems to be random.
When it hangs the caps lock blue led blinks.
- The screen brightness goes up automatically after a few minutes ! (ACPI
related ?)
- I have no sound. The sound card is recognized but no sound is played.
ATI Technologies Inc RV630/M76 audio device [Radeon HD 2600 Series]
- the wireless card didn't work either. The ath5k couldn't handle my
Atheros AR5008 card. I had to compile madwifi latest drivers from svn.
(seems pretty unstable !!)
Here are some of the messages displayed at boot time :
