If I remember right, the nosmp-option produced a kernel-panic during 
boot-time, and maxcpus=1 froze the keyboard while trying to get my IP 
with ifup.

 Although either way your only real option is to compile a custom
 kernel for UP. 

I tried this yesterday, but dpkg didn't install my custom kernel... I 
don't know, what the problem was - I tried the 'official' debian way, 
and only disabled smp-support from the debian-kernelimage config-file. 
But dpkg could not install it

 Sounds like the rt2xxx developers need to get their act
 together and fix their locking problems, things will only get worse as more
 and more dual-core notebooks are released. 

Possibly I should write a new post into their forum, that they think 
about this in the future?!?

 I've actually had similar issues
 with the rt2500 driver on my notebook since it has HT, but since I was
 already using a custom kernel to apply some 3rd party patches I just
 disabled SMP to work around it.

I'll try to compile my own kernel the next days... but I don't know, 
what I did wrong the last time - while it's really not complicated...

  Hi, 
  
  as I noticed today, for my wlan-card-module, I need a kernel without 
  smp-support enabled... This was the reason, my new rt2570-module always 
  locked my keyboard: the prebuilt debian kernel I'm using 
  (2.6.17-2-amd64) has smp enabled. 
  
  Now, to resolve the problem, do I have to build my own kernel (what I 
  not really want), or is it enough to install the package 
  linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8? 
  
  I didn't find any kernel *amd64-k8 for etch, which existed earlier, so I 
  think that linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8 (as transitional package) will only 
  update to the latest generic amd-kernel available? 
  
  So, only chance to build my own one to use my rt2570-module?

Re: compiz windows without borders

 any news about this?

No:(
I have tested beryl too, same problems

Giulio

  I followed this guide to install compiz on debian unstable:
  http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz
  (and other 2 little guides not in english)
  but when I launch from shell compiz --replace  window borders
  vanishing and windows are not more clickable.
  I use nvidia 5700 with last drivers available on unstable repository.
  Have you any idea?

You did use make-kpkg to build it first, right?

AFAIK they've known about it for a long time, it's been an issue for as
long as I've had my rt2500 card. But it can't hurt to remind them.

Did you check that the clock on your machine is set correctly?
  

I got same errors.

My clock is set correctly.

What mirror or repository are you using which gives you this error? If it is 
not an official Debian repository you will have to go to their website, 
retrieve their public signing key and install it in your keyring. This is a 
new feature of apt-get with Etch.


cmr
  

From my /etc/apt/sources.list

   deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

and so. No other repository.

Oh, cool ! Thank you very much !!!
I checked with all commands, like locale=C apt-get upate, but none worked. 

I just forgot, how I had to to do it. Shame on me.

Some things are so easy.
