I tried the "noapic" and I couldn't get a dhcp address to my nic.

when I try to compile the ATI fglrx modules I get:

/bin/sh: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-k7/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such 
fil or directory
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-k7'

make[1]: *** [kmod_muild] Error 2
build failed with return value 2

I upgraded to 2.6.12 kernel thinking that would help the hardware clock issue 
but it hasn't.  I tried the "no_timer_check" parameter, and that didn't help 
either.

Compaq R4000

2005-08-11 Thread Howard Coles Jr.
Ok, I've tried about everything I can find, so I'm hoping some of you guys can 
help:

I have the above mentioned laptop as sold from Office Depot.
I'm running the 2.6.11-1-k7 kernel, because its just as fast as the 64bit 
install, and most things work better.
I have downloaded, and converted the ATI fglrx video drivers from ATI's site 
and installed them, but I cannot compile the kernel modules.
I also cannot get sound to work, ATIIXP sound card it looks like.
The hardware clock appears to be in overdrive, running at about double speed.

I would love to get the video and clock problem fixed most of all, and if any 
of you have any tips it would make things so much easier.  All my searching 
to this point has been fruitless!

Oh, and BTW I just signed up to this list, even though I've been using Debian 
itself for some time.
