Along with the fix for the UVC webcam driver, hopefully a fix for the
idle priority task scehduling issue, and probably a few others.  I hope.

Best hope is for an ICH driver backport to the 2.6.26 kernel in the first
lenny update set. Or hand packaging a more recent kernel for lenny.

Through debian-backports packages you may have luck. ;)

Probably never. Lenny is in freeze so only bugs are fixed (no new
features/versions), so that it can be released as stable.

Hi,

many thanks for all the advice - I will try this out next Monday -
with an external USB cdrom drive and I'll also try the all_generic_ide
trick.  I wonder when the 2.6.27 kernel will appear in lenny?

I had something similar.

In the end, I used my MP3 player as a boot device  (it was the nearest USB 
mass storage device to hand)  to install Debian from the Internet, and built 
a new kernel in order to get the optical drive working properly.  Some 
modules had changed their names between versions, so I had to compare the 
config files very very carefully to see what was going on.  

There's probably a really elegant solution involving re-mastering the Debian 
CD using a kernel borrowed from the Ubuntu CD; but I had a boss breathing 
down my neck.

That is often not a practical solution.

Try a boot option: all_generic_ide.

Basically your PATA(?) chip may not be recognized with an older kernel. 
Do you have a USB CD/DVD drive?  It may be easier to use that.

unable to install lenny using CD1 (26-Jan-2009)

2009-01-29 Thread Gaius Mulley

Hi,

I'm attempting to install lenny amd64 (using CD1) on a:

CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400  @ 3.00GHz stepping 0a

the CD boots but the kernel fails to find the CDROM.  Under Ubuntu the
CDROM device is /dev/scd0 - but no such device exists (in /dev/) when
lenny is booted.  I'm wondering whether I'm doing something obviously
wrong?

Ubuntu reports the CDROM as:

$ cdrecord -scanbus
scsibus5:
5,0,0   500) 'TSSTcorp' 'CDDVDW SH-S202J ' 'SB02' Removable
CD-ROM

apologies if it really is straightforward.

regards,
Gaius
