Yep, it is always better to use the debian kernel sources :) As for udev, well, i tried building the sid udev on sarge, but it ended trying to rebuild the whole gnome and KDE stacks, so i abandoned this. I heard that there is a udev in backports that should build correctly. > >I guess that if you intent to build your kernel, you are big enough > >to know > >that "you need to include" translate in adding a -I flag to gcc :) > > No, why?

Well, i guess you are using a broken linux-source package, 2.6.15-7 should have this fixed. > >Its called linux-image, and no, i don't mean backports.org, just > >grab the > >official etch/sid kernels (2.6.15-7) and install them on your sarge > >machine. > >This is what i do, with a rebuilt yaird, on both my powerbook and > >my always-on > >pegasos machine, works just fine, except for the udev problem. > > I looked, if it was possible to install a kernel from Testing.

You need to build yaird on sarge, and then use yaird and not initramfs-tools, and it will be just fine. The problem with initramfs-tools is that it pulls in klibc and udev, and udev pulls in loads of stuff. yaird has no such problem and works just fine. > >Well, on my powerbook the only things that i saw that cause > >problems is that > >pbbuttonsd doesn't aknowledge keyboard strokes as activity, only mouse > >movement, but it could be something else, as pbbuttonsd also from > >time to time > >go into low-power-screen mode and refuses to go out of it. > > That does not sound good, but may be no problem with the Mac Mini. Well. it is a minor desagrement :) I should really try building the backport udev. > I'll give it a last try next weekend, I think. > > For yaboot it is enought to have a loupe and something like > > image=/boot/vmlinux > label=linux > image=/boot/vmlinux.old > label=old > > in the config to boot with the old kernel, if something goes wrong? Mmm. i really do give it the full path, and don't forget to include the initrd too. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
