kernel .config for Debian stock kernel?

2009-03-18 Thread Brian P. Flaherty 

Hello,

I have an iMac G5 (iSight).  I was able to successfully install Debian 
off an old etch netinstall CD a week or two ago.  But the fans run like 
crazy and X behaves a little poorly.  I figured it might be better to 
install lenny to get the newer kernel, etc., but lenny won't install.


It boots off the CD, I type 'install64 video=atyfb' (following a 
different thread on this list), and it halts moments later with some 
MPICH problems or failures.  This is relevant because I upgraded the 
etch install (via dselect) and installed the next kernel and it also 
freezes in the exact same place and error.  So, I think there's a 
mismatch between the kernel on my lenny install CD and my computer.


I now just boot 'old' and it works.  I'd like to get the .config from 
both kernels (working and not), so I can compare them and build a new 
kernel that works.  Can you point me to the package I install to get 
that stock .config, if there is one?  I'd like it as a starting point. 
I'd rather not take the time to do the kernel config from scratch right now.


Thank you for your time and help.

Brian

Kernel configs are available in kernel image packages, and reside in
/boot/config-*.
Does the kernel work with video=ofonly?

Bug#520286: ext2 module fails to recognize ext4 files with extents on big endian

2009-03-18 Thread Michel Dänzer 
Package: grub2
Version: 1.96+20090317-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


The function grub_ext2_read_block() doesn't take endianness into account
when checking the inode flags for EXT4_EXTENTS_FLAG, so the check doesn't
work properly on big endian. The attached patch fixes this, it was necessary
for loading and booting a Linux kernel from an ext4 filesystem on my PowerBook.

 How do I get into the system to change the file if the screen is not
 working?

The text console might work: ctrl-alt-f1.
