My ThinkPad is dead after Woody upgrade
Hi All, I've had my IBM ThinkPad model 380Z dead (laptop not going thru POST, suspicion is about flash BIOS was wiped out) after apt-get dist-upgrade and following hibernation last Friday. It could be due to this 3 y.o. laptop was broken itself or due to new thinkpad* related packages installed (I remember tpctl for sure). Does somebody else have the similar problem? Could it be really caused by problems during new package installation? I have a second new ThinkPad and I don't want to take any risk to damage it too (the same packages are installed but not upgraded yet). There was up-to-date Woody installation on it with custom 2.4.16 kernel and old thinkpad-source pcmcia-cs modules compiled/installed. Pavel. PS: I know that my IBM TP BIOS had several mistakes in it (i.e switching occasionally LCD display off when on AC power). __ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!

Is 2.4.17 stable?
Hi All! Download and compiled pure kernel 2.4.17 on Woody. After reboot had plenty of complains to default console from SMC NIC.

Kernel 2.4.0 + mount 2.10q
Dear All, If someone sometime got the problem with new 2.4 kernel? If standard Potato NFS client has 2.4.0 kernel and updated util-linux/mount 2.10q then it is not possible to mount NFS share from Debian 2.2 with kernel 2.2.17. With old util-linux/mount 2.10f this works just with warning about old version of mount. The message on client side is: mount: RPC: timed out Tcpdump shows new activity from client to NFS server (udp port 635). There is no listener on this port indeed. Is it also necesary to update NFS server to the new kernel or there is a special option in 2.4.0 kernel? --- Regards, Pavel Epifanov. E-mails: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have to convert them first by ghostview (open pdf and print(save) to file).
It is possible to print from gv directly, but every time it will first
convert pdf to the temporary file and print than).
