Cool, now you must convince Herbert to apply these to the official debian kernels, and everyone should be happy. I guess the best way would be to open a bug report against kernel-source-2.4.24 or something such, with tag d-i and patch, explain your problem, and either provide the link to the patch or the patch directly as attachement, and CC the bugreport to debian-boot. > I'm more than willing to act as a guinea pig for testing debian-installer > on my NForce2 board. Yeah, but actually it has nothing to do with debian-installer, just a plain 'debian official kernel doesn't support my hardware' kind of bug.
