Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 Version: 2.6.24-4 Severity: normal
The lack of a bnx2 driver in the kernel means that certain platforms (in this case a Dell PowerEdge 1950) are not able to utilise their network cards. I'm aware of the reason for its removal from recent versions of the distribution, but stable still contains it and surely it would be more sensible to create a workaround or fix and then remove the existing driver? -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initr 0.91e tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre11-4 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii yaird [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.0.12-25 Yet Another mkInitRD Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.24-1-686: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.24-1-686: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.24-1-686: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.24-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.24-1-686: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.24-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.24-1-686: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.24-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.24-1-686: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.24-1-686: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
