I am running kernel 2.6.15.6 If I am not running etch, how can I upgrade without a new installation? If you started out with testing in your sources.list or if you did a dist-upgrade since you included it, then you should indeed be running Etch. The fact that you are using a 2.6.15 kernel suggests it, too. I installed kernel 2.6.15.6 from kernel.org Simply look at the output of cat /etc/issue to be sure. Another characteristic thing is your version of libc6; apt-cache policy libc6 will tell you what it is and where it came from. I will enclose the output from these: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy libc6 libc6: Installed: 2.3.6-3 Candidate: 2.3.6-3 Version table: *** 2.3.6-3 0 500 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org testing/main Packages 500 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable \n \l Regards, Florian I have not done a dist-upgrade( don't know how), but I use synaptic package manager to update at least once a week.

So, if the machine fails to come up to the point where it has mounted a persistent file system, nothing can be saved. If messages are stored in a non-persistent area (which I doubt) before that point, then after then they could be copied to a persistent file system, like /etc/something.

Re: Debian has turned unusable.
I suggest you install sarge and immediately thereafter install kernel 2.6.5 Trollcollect [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello list, after 3 days of twiddling with a recent copy of debians woody release i need to vent a bit of the anger and frustration that this distribution has caused. I want to start with saying that i was a strong advocate of debian compared to distributions such as RedHat and SuSE. Being a UNIX admin professionally (Solaris mainly), i felt home on a debian system pretty quick, and the packaging method was unique among all linux deriatives i have seen. Also i used to like debians approach of stability before bleeding-edge stuff. However as i have to install a small network now (7 WS's and one server), i have to reconsider this assessment. I downloaded woody (2 failed attempts to get an installation CD with the new jigdo method). What i got after installation was - a 2.2 Kernel without ext3 support - a KDE 2.0 overall totally outdated and useless versions of libraries and software. I then tried to figure out how to update those packages i need in recent versions. As i know KDE from Solaris, i trust enough in their own QA procedure to consider their 3.2.1 stable enough for usage. Why debian believes KDE 2.0 is more stable, or even usable at all, is beyond my understanding. However it turned out that i could not update only selected packages easily. In fact neither of dselect or apt-get seemed to have a method to do this in a sensible way. Now it MAY well be that i am just an idiot who is not capable of doing this, however i asked in a few linux related channels and also at work, noone could tell me how to set up a half-way decent debian without compromising the pkg system. Sure many told me to build it all by hand but then, without the packaging system what good is debian? I hope that whoever is responsible for the direction debian is steering to currently thinks about the target of the whole distribution, which is to provide users with a decent linux system that comes stable, yet with all neccessary parts to be competetive among other distributions.

This email is sent from a working laptop at work. I've come to the conclusion that a clean install of DEBIAN is the best way, I've used MEPIS, KNOPPIX and a few others but they are bloated and have alot of things I simply dont want to haggle with, uninstalling and reconfiguring, but they do automatically get my wirelss card working. It's easier or clearner for me to just get a clean install from debian and struggle thru to the bitter end.

It uses the wpc11 to work in a desktop. All I did was compile the wireless part of network kernel configeration into the kernel. I have done this with kernels 2.6.0 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 . Have you compiles your own kernel? I must admit that I set up debian sarge with normal lan, then disabled the lan in MB and installed the linksys card and all worked well.

I have compiled nothing in the kernel that refers to these objects and the messages are not in dmesg. Is there a file somewhere that would tell me what's happening ? If someone else ran across this, I would like to know how the problem was solved. If its not showing up in dmesg, it probably has nothing to do with your kernel and has everything to do with some daemon that is configured to run at boot time. I'm guessing you've installed netatalk or some such, which could result in you seeing messages regarding appletalk in your boot messages. Netatalk is a daemon that is (roughly) to apple filesharing what Samba is to windows filesharing. The pcmcia messages probably have a similar source (pcmcia card services?). To check whether these packages are installed, type: apt-cache policy pcmcia-cs netatalk I noticed that the sarge installer cd did not ask me if I wanted to delete the pcmcia stuff, which was a question when installing woody.
