I don't think there is enough information here to debug the problem. It seems like you are trying to install on a base 32-bit system a kernel capable of running both 32-bit and 64-bit code, right? But the kernel you say you are installing and the grub line you are showing do not match. What is in your /boot directory? If you run update-grub manually what kernels does it find in /boot? What menu.list results does it produce? Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I am guessing that either hotplug or discover or something else is installed on my machine and loading that module automatically while on your machine it is not. Add psmouse to /etc/modules so that it is always loaded. This was always needed previously with woody. It is a tried and true method. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I definately get output from both sudo commands, and 'lsmod' confirms that the modules are loaded after I manage to get X up and working. Again, I tried adding psmouse and mousedev to /etc/modules, but in that case X starts but the mouse doesn't work at all. One thing I've found is that if I do a 'modprobe psmouse' prior to 'startx', then X will start straight away and the mouse works fine... any ideas? __ Do you Yahoo!?

problem running Xprint on amd64 (x86-64)
One of my Debian users has experienced some problems running Xprint on amd64 (x86-64). Originally he was getting a segfault (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278510) He now reports the segfault is no longer occuring, after release of a newer Debian revision. Since it's still the same Xprint v9.001, I presume the change has been in libc6 or some other library for amd64 (not that libc6 has changed for amd64 over this time, but anyway. Maybe they use gcc-3.4 instead of gcc-3.3?). However, he reports that Xprint is nevertheless still not working, although it is no longer segfaulting: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=282655&repeatmerged=no Xprt is running, but /etc/init.d/xprint thinks it has stopped. Since the original bug was specific to amd64, it occurs to me that the second might be as well. But the error is happening in /etc/init.d/xprint, not in Xprt. Support for amd64 is still "under development", it's not yet "fully supported" by Debian. So I'm not sure how much of his troubles are due to bugs in standard libraries (libc etc) for amd64, and how much could be Xprint's. The problem is not clear enough for me to file an Xprint bug. But I thought it might be useful to raise it on the mailing list for further thought. Debian amd64 porters - can any of you confirm that Xprint (package xprt-xprintorg) is working successfully for you? Test with xphelloworld or by printing from mozilla. Regards, Drew Parsons
Re: Mplayer?
Thanks to all that responded I decided to just compile the debs. It was very easy as everyone said. Thanks again for the pointers.

I did that, and did some experimenting with it, using the 32 bit version of mencoder as reference. For some reason the 32bit mencoder beats the hell out of the 64 bit version on the same hardware ! and I'm talking at about 2 x the speed ! Don't really know why, although I can imagine the 32bit version includes some specific assembly optimisation, missing from the 64bit version. can anybody comment on this difference ?? Ernest.

The order of which the disk-device handling modules are loaded is _very_ important. Len Sorensen helped me sometime ago with the same problem. The order solved my problem.

Re: Official 2.6.8 kernel not booting?
Quoting Norval Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi Gasper, Which kernel did you use for initial install? I have very similar system: amd64 athlon 3000+, nforce3 chipset, Seagate sata hd, the motherboard is gigabyte ga-k8ns Pro. 2.6.8-1 kernel does not find Seagate SATA HD. Are your sound, network and usb drivers working? Regards, Norv Yes, everything else works perfectly. network module is forcedeth, sound driver is i810, usb mouse works fine. But -- if it's 2.6.8 -k7 it works, if it's -k8 it doesn't. I'm using this .deb http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8 Hm... I'm thinking ... i first installed i386 and then wanted to install a 64 bit kernel with IA32 support to debootstrap the pure64. Am I going wrong way? I just checked debian bug tracker for above kernel image and supposedly it has System.map with 0 byte length - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=281424 Could this be it? Also Len Sorensen noted there's a missing initrd line in my grub/menu.lst that might be causing this and could be related to kernel unable to mount root. I've also compiled my own kernel with built in drivers and same happens. But then could this be due to RAID in bios? (I don't know if it's enabled or not) I'm sorry I'm not near the box now, but I'll check this all tomorrow. Regards, Gasper Zejn

Firefox plugin downloader pretends to install flash
The new Firefox has a cute behavior. If you click on that ANNOYING plugin downloader bar, it offers to download Flash, presents you with the EULA, then downloads and claims to successfully install the plugin. There's an upstream bug in Bugzilla on this behavior: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265536 It's harmless, but is there any way to disable that annoying plugin downloader? It takes up a lot of screen space. -jwb

Where is the ramdisk/initrd line in grub? You should not have to pass init=... Most of the time, 'init not found' is a side effect of the message 'can't mount root filesystem' which is often caused by 'missing initrd ramdisk'. Len Sorensen
