I'd like to take that kludge out. I load it explicitly on my ultra10 with creator3d/ffb2 vertical. Although DRI does not work due to a missing symbol, I don't see any downsides from loading it per default. Should file a bug report about the dri issue, but I'm very busy with University stuff these days. Maybe some other people could do this. - christian

I use Quanta regularly for some php work that I do and it was recently upgraded by apt-get. I fired it up today for the first time in a while and as soon as I typed in the editor screen, the application just crashes. The KCrash application didn't yield any decent output so I did an strace on the application; the output of which is at the end of this email. The only other thing worth noting is that I have a few packages that have been "held back" by apt-get, I'm not sure why they're held back or whether they might effect the operation of quanta: sparc:~# apt-get -u dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists...

There's a big difference between binary and source packages put a deb-src line in your sources.list and do a : $ apt-get -d source kernel-image-sparc-2.4 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-sparc-2.4/ - Christian

Re: smaller kernel images (Image too large to fit in destination)

Near the bottom of this page is the answer. http://www.iratepublik.com/articles/ultralinux_upgrade.php Amanda thanks, but that wouldn't help me, as the kernel from kernel-image-2.4.21-sparc64-smp is already _compressed_ , isn't it? Something between version 32 and 33 bloated the image, and I can't boot it anymore... Christian
smaller kernel images (Image too large to fit in destination)
Hi, I'm running a SUN Ultra Enterprise2 on Debian/unstable with kernel-2.4.21-sparc64-smp. Right after upgrading from version 32 of kernel-2.4.21-sparc64-smp to version 33 I got Fatal error: Image too large to fit in destination at the boot prompt. Searching the archives told me, that a kernel kernel compiled make image would help. So my question here: Are there any Debian kernel packages compiled with 'make image'? Where can I grab them from? thanks Christian P.S. With the release of 2.4.22, are there any Uploads to unstable planned, maybe with a smaller size?
