Re: [Fwd: Re: Debian Live Lenny Beta1]
I have tried the amd64-version on a Lenovo R61 as well as on my Macbook. Maybe I should try the i386 on the Macbook because it did not boot properly and I could not use the keyboard. someone already reported this (it's a problem with syslinux), but i have almost no to no hope that this will get fixed; don't have access to macbook hardware. Unfortunately I don't think this is a bug in syslinux, I have seen it happen with lilo and with windows CDs as well. I belive it is a bug in apples compatibility service module. It seems to be somewhat sensitive to the exact boot method. I haven't tried debian-live but with other CDs I find it usually succeeds if I remove all power from the machine before starting. Then the hold C key during bootup to boot the CD and then release the C key as soon as I hear the CD drive spin up. If I boot through rEFIt it always fails. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, on a PC with an atl2 NIC you need a seperate package with the atl2 modules installed. I did not use the official d-l CDs so I cannot tell if it would boot on the PC but my d-l netboot did not. Are such networking modules included in the d-l CDs? Would including these packages suffice to netboot on a PC with a NIC that requires such package or do I need a custom initramfs hook to include the module?

Here is an some of the > output of dmesg: in order to use wifi, you need the necessary firmware (firmware-iwlwifi in your case). this firmware is not free, and it's not in debian, it's in non-free. since the official debian-live cds do not contain anything but packages from main, wifi with that card doesn't work out of the box. yes, that is disappointing, however, please read what i wrote here about the situation (the paragraph starting with 'this is not a bug, this is debian'): http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2008/08/msg00259.html Regards, Daniel -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
