Are you sure you have module-init-tools installed, preferably from deb?

Hi all,

depmod: *** Unresolved sybmols in /lib/modules/2.6.3.20040305-orca

I read 'man depmod' and don't understand whether all this depmod output
means my kernel install went well or badly.

Elvis, I would reply something about 'debian jr.' being a set of children's
packages that you can select in 'tasksel', but my ISP doesn't like me sending

Wishing I knew why compiling my NIC's driver (VIA Rhine) into kernel 2.4.24
has rendered my system unable to connect to the network when adding the
driver
Hi,
On a server on my LAN, I had Woody and then Testing (installed from CD#1 +
Net) connecting fine to my LAN (DHCP) with the bf24 (kernel 2.4.18) from the
Woody CD with VIA Rhine, my NIC's driver, added as kernel module.
But when I compiled my own kernel 2.4.24 (from the .deb kernel source)
Hi all,
I am trying to set up bootable root Software RAID1 and the How Tos I have
found tell me I need RAID compiled *into* the Kernel, not added as a module,
and that RAID support is part of recent kernels. I am unclear which kernels
have RAID support compiled in and which don't.

Hi guys,
Is it *normal* for 151 packages to be held back
and only 28 upgraded
when upgrading Woody[1] to Sarge?
I did[2],
rhc:/etc/apt# vi sources.list
rhc:/etc/apt# apt-get upgrade
rhc:/etc/apt# apt-get update
Did I do the upgrade incorrectly?
Thanks,
Roger

I am following software RAID1 installation instructions posted to debian-user

Any suggestions where to find good software RAID1 install instructions?

Hi,
I have Postgress installed from Testing.
Today I tried to install MySQL from testing and got this error:

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

Why stable and unstable if you want Sarge (testing)?
Try this in your sources.list:

RAID 1 is one strategy for getting 'faster' read going.
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Devices (RAID) comes in various flavors.
RAID 1 is a flavor where you take two disks of the same size and have the
computer treat them as one disk. The computer mirrors the identical data onto

Thanks for the tips. Here's what I have so far:

# cat /proc/meminfo
- gives you info about your memory
# x86info
- a package that gives you the same as 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' but in some more
detail
# cpuid
- another

Hi,
Debian (installed from the 7 Woody CDs which I downloaded and burned using my
SuSE system) does not recognize my onboard Ethernet interface. SuSE does.
Debian seems not to.
Is there hope of getting Debian to recognize my onboard Ethernet? Or should I
simply buy a $12.00 Ethernet card
Hi,
Learning as I go... I hope... I also tried editing /etc/network/interfaces
thus:

Then command

Darn. Because

- 16bit color
which Gnome had no problem with.
