The problem seams to have disappeared; I did not understand why.
Between the moment when the problem was existing and now. I have downloaded image and header of kernel 2.6.12 (using apt-get from kernel 2.6.12). Modify /etc/lilo.conf and runned lilo, to active kernel 2.6.16. Patched and compiled internet ADSL eagle-usb module/package for kernel 2.6.16. Runt thunderbird/firefox, under gnome, on kernel 2.6.16, once internet ADSL eagle-usb was working. Kernel 2.6.16 was working, and now I discovered 2.6.15 works again. ;-) But it does not explain me why it was not working :-( According to /var/log/auth.log, I did: Aug 8 12:38:05 €€€ sudo: €€€ : TTY=tty3 ; PWD=€€€ ; USER=€€€ ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/apt-get install grub (I do not remember why.) Aug 8 13:19:54 €€€ sudo: €€€ : TTY=tty2 ; PWD=€€€ ; USER=€€€ ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/apt-get install linux-image-2.6.16-2-686 It does not appear but I also installed headers, at one time (required to compile eagle-usb). Aug 8 13:28:18 €€€ login[2555]: (pam_unix) session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 8 13:28:19 €€€ login[2586]: ROOT LOGIN on 'tty1' Aug 8 13:28:32 €€€ sudo: €€€ : TTY=tty1 ; PWD=€€€ ; USER=€€€ ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/vim /etc/lilo.conf It does not appear in the log, but I ran lilo, by there. I also used module-assistant command to compile eagle-usb under 2.6.16 module-assistant prepare module-assistant get eagle-usb module-assistant build eagle-usb And this one was for fun: Aug 8 16:25:07 €€€ sudo: €€€ : TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=€€€ ; USER=€€€ ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/apt-get install python.*2.5 Jonas Smedegaard a écrit :
Jean-Michel: Could you please provide the content of /etc/kernel-img.conf -
do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub postrm_hook = /sbin/update-grub
and also tell us if you've run some custom ramdisk-building scripts yourself, in addition to the stuff done automatically by the kernel image postinst routines?
I do not know what is a«custom ramdisk-building scripts». I just know I had had an issue when I switched from 2.6.12 to 2.6.15 some months ago, and I believe to remember that some line related to *ram* was to be added or modified in some configuration file.
Also, do you have lilo installed? Do you use it, or do you use GRUB or another bootloader?
Yes, I use lilo. Grub is also installed. When I installed kernel 2.6.16 (today), grub configuration file was automatically updated, but I had to update (by hand) /etc/lilo.conf, and then run lilo (as root). I use lilo, because I know how to add a kernel and modify option in lilo. I do not use grub, because I do not know grub configuration, and lilo works fine till now. dpkg -l |grep "lilo\|grub" ii grub 0.97-13 GRand Unified Bootloader ii lilo 22.6.1-7 LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can loa ii lilo-doc 22.6.1-7 Documentation for LILO (LInux LOader) I hope the information I give you can help Debian project. Regards.
