Hi DDs, tho I had closed my bug mentioned here, because it was almost identical to #384638, Thomas Schwinge was kind enough to still answer it, which lead to a working solution in the end.
One point remains tho: This all made me curios about my relatively new hardware (an nvidia C51 chipset, better known as nforce 430 and geforce 6150 - together with a dual core AMD64), so I found out that *none* of the 64bit-2.6.17 kernels work on that machine at the moment, while 2.6.16 is fine (this all relates to *testing* - at the moment I'm testing Testing ;-) ). Before I send in more bug reports, let me ask one general question: At work, on AMD K7 (also with testing), a 2.6.17 kernel works fine. But still 2.6.16 is defined as "latest"; means that gets installed if you select "2.6". I'm having trouble finding the descriptions of the process, and maybe my "fault" is that I'm not following the kernel-list, and I'm also not on IRC. So the question actually is: what exactly *is* the process? Who decides which kernel will be released together with Etch? And is it possible (for instance), that on different architectures there would be different kernels - or are they supposed to not only build, but also "behave well" on different architectures? That would involve a lot of testers, right? And - to relate it back to my actual problem at the moment: 1. I keep my current bug #387361 closed, because it is resolved? 2. I open a new one against linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64 because that doesn't boot on said machine? 3. I repeat that for the -xen kernel? 4. I add another bug report against linux-latest-2.6 in testing, because it still installs .16 instead of .17? Lots of questions. I thought I had read (and understood) some things... Sorry for the cross-posting, and please CC me - thanks.
