For those following along at home, I recently had a similar issue with drivers, but solved it differently -- the 2.6.32 kernel (same version number as Ubuntu 10.04) is in lenny-backports. Of course, if the issue is missing SATA or network drivers messing up your install, the backport kernel is not as useful, but still, it's an option. There was some talk at the time of the lenny release that a "lennynhalf" kernel release might be provided, similar to what was done for "etchnhalf", but I haven't heard anything recently about that. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / rei...@bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
