Re: kernel compile.
> I wonder if anyone can shed some light on my brain? Double check if you are missing a needed boot flag in your /boot/grub/menu.1st i.e.*in my case* 'nohpet' # kopt=root=/dev/hda2 ro nohpet pci=routeirq note! you will have to do a 'sudo update-grub' if you change anything in 'menu.1st' are you compiling/installing kernels the 'debian way'? i.e. 'fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image' 'sudo dpkg -i Custom_amd64.deb' just ideas... NB! if you haven't messed with /boot/grub/menu.1st before.. I strongly suggest that you look for the problem elsewhere first... best of luck Joachimp 1 Oct 2006 06:57:28 GMT, Jack Malmostoso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On Sun, 01 Oct 2006 01:20:07 +0200, chris wakefield wrote: > I wonder if anyone can shed some light on my brain? Is there any special reason why you are compiling your own kernel? Aren't stock Debian kernels not good enough? I guess if you need some particular options it's better to take Debian's .config and edit that (or file a bugreport) instead of starting from scratch. -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: XGL
Ok--- so lets not have everyone laugh out loud at once... but has any one had any luck with Xgl + ATi? **joachimp 2006/5/27, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello everyone, ich have Xgl cvs running for at least 7 days uptime with no big problems at all. Debian sid ond amd64 with the nvidia binary driver 8178. I am allready working on an howto. I will post a link to the howto when it is ready. Unfortunately one needs a lot of development packages. Some packages are not available as .deb and at least one package is not up to date in debian sid. Therefore i was needed to get the package from ubuntu unpack it and copy some files into the system. Everything will be explained in the howto. Please be a little patient.

Re: Newbie Question
Now that the standard Debian mirror system supports amd64, (apt/dpkg) take care of getting you the correct packages for your architecture... I use [in /etc/apt/sources.list], where 'unstable'(sid) is the release set that I use, you should stick with what ever release you currently have... deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free I use 'apt-get update' to update my package lists, and 'apt-get upgrade' to upgrade my packages... and 'apt-get install ' to install packages Also, check out the debian package 'newbiedoc' for lots of good info on 'apt' and other good things lots of luck **joachimp 2006/5/11, Alexander Samad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi Finaly found the amd64 mailing list. Browsing through the mailing list archives I noticed that there are several locations to point my apt sources.lst I have 2 machines running amd64 , 1 I have setup with apt-proxy (what are other people using ?) and I point to http://amd64.debian.net/debian but I was reading that I should be using the normal deb archive locations for example http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian which is what I use for my i386 machine so what do I use both the former for the older packages and the later for etch ie unstable packages ??

Re: Which WLAN PCI network adapter?
I've found this site invaluable when I comes to wireless in linux: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Right now I use A RT2500 Device http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.802.11ag.html#Ralink2500 It's not supported in kernel, but all the drivers are GPL, and in Debian (see "apt-cache search rt2500" ) And it works GREAT! **joachimp 2006/5/11, J. Paul Bissonnette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I found this site, for the rt2x00 chip used in quite a few wifi installations. The chip manufacture actually supports Linux http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware Harald Wenninger wrote: >Hi, > >my PCI wireless lan adapter recently got killed in an accident ;-( >so I'm searching for a new one. >I'd prefer a adapter which is directly supported by the kernel and not >via ndiswrapper, but if there are adapters which are real better and >only run with ndiswrapper, that's not the problem. >Which one would you recommend? > >Greetings, >Harald > > -- J.
