I managed to get module-init-tools to build after I installed a backported version of debhelper. It turns out that the build-dependencies on the package on backports.org aren't quite right. In any case I have installed both 2.6 and 2.4. 2.4.27 appears to have fixed the issue. So far that kernel is running without any problems. 2.6.8, however, I couldn't get to boot. (I got a kernel panic about being unable to load the root fs.) I'm unfamiliar with quik.conf (I mostly use i386 so I know grub and lilo) though so I may have simply not specified the initrd.img file properly.
As far as this bug goes if you want to mark it wontfix, that seems to be the best option to me. Hopefully then other people that have the same problem will be able to see the solution that I was able to get working. ---------------- Thanks Jefferson Cowart [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Sven Luther [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2005 11:25 > To: Jefferson Cowart > Cc: Sven Luther; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Bug#295046: kernel-image-2.4.18-newpmac: Network > dies after "/etc/init.d/networking restart" > > On Sun, Feb 13, 2005 at 10:27:48AM -0800, Jefferson Cowart wrote: > > Checking the packages page it appears that it will pull in the new > > version of libc.
