Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 Version: 2.6.15-8 Severity: normal
I installed Debian "testing" on a HP OmniBook 4150. It works great if the notebook is attached to a power supply. If the notebook is booted when running on batteries the system is almost unuseable. The init process seems to hang right from the start but when you press some keys on the keyboard the system seems to "wake up" for some seconds and the init process continues bit by bit... I tried to use acpi instead of apm (added the kernel boot option "acpi=off apm=on" and added apm to /etc/modules) but this was even worse: The system bootet without hammering on the keyboard but the timing was completely broken. The cursor frequency changed wildly depending on system load and the clock was running like crazy (ca. double speed) when opening large applications. I remeber that I had some other Linux version installed on this notebook some years ago and it did not have this problem (but others). I wanted to give it a second chance because rumors said that Linux runs better on older hardware. This does not always seem to be true :-( -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.59b tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 recommends: pn libc6-i686 <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.15-1-686: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.15-1-686: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.15-1-686: false * linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.15-1-686: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.15-1-686: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.15-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.15-1-686: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.15-1-686: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.15-1-686: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.15-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.15-1-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.15-1-686: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
