It took me a few tries to find a Debian kernel that worked out of the box - kernel-image-2.2.19pre17-idepci did, as did kernel-image-2.4.16-586. The 2.2.19 kernel is the one that's available in the idepci distro. As somebody else pointed out, the 'md' problem is raid. So once you have a system, upgrading the kernel is pretty simple as long as you leave out raid. > > About the only advice I can give is for me, with the i815, the best I can > > do in X is 15 bit color. 16 bit just locks up. > > I also noticed problems with 16 so I run 24 bit. I never saw problems with 16-bit, but then I started at 24 :-) derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
