I have the following and am about to reboot ... pray! :-) Progeny update/upgrade to Unstable:
Steps: Uncommented only unstable in sources.list apt-get update dpkg --purge --force-depends libfreetype6 apt-get -f dist-upgrade (got an error on gdm) Ran "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" again. (additional gdnumeric error or something) Ignored the error and Downloaded the following to /usr/src/ : linux-2.4.12.tar.gz (Found this at: http://www.kernel.org ) pcmcia-cs.3.1.29.tar.gz (Found this at: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ ) modutils_2.4.10-3_i386.deb (Found this at: http://ftp.eecs.umich.edu/debian/pool/main/m/modutils/ ) Copied all three to /stuff just in case something trashes what it expects to find in /usr/src/ ;-) Rebooted. No pcmcia. Rebooted and broke out to a command prompt (I think I used CTRL-ALT-F2 or something as Progeny-Unstable was loading). Loaded Linux Kernel 2.4.12 and other stuff using the following instructions from Stephen E. Hargrove ... # tar xfvz linux-whatever.tar.gz (seemd to go well) # rm -rf linux (OK) # ln -s linux-whatever linux (OK) # tar xfvz pcmcia-cs-whatever.tar.gz (OK) # ln -s pcmcia-cs-whatever pcmcia (OK) # cd linux Uh Oh! (I think you meant "cd pcmcia" because I can see something called "linux" in /usr/src/ trying to "cd" there gets only an error.) I did execute "cd pcmcia" and then proceeded ... # rm -rf pcmcia (OK) # make menuconfig YUCK! An old 'enemy' returns! "***No rule to make target 'menuconfig'. Stop" And I was getting so hopeful ... grrr! Now what, please? Sigh ... Thanks! Doc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following is on hold until the "make menuconfig" problem is resolved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... configure stuff ... # make dep # make bzImage ... edits for lilo / grub ... ... move /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to boot ... ... /sbin/lilo or whatever you do for grub # make modules; make modules_install # cd ../pcmcia # make config # make all # make install # shutdown -r now ... boot to new kernel ... for my set up, i was /never/ able to get any 2.4.x kernel to compile with the "built-in" pcmcia stuff. they crapped out /every single time/. so, i just delete the pcmcia directory and go with the pcmcia-cs stuff. it's worked well on both of my laptops. i'm sorry that i can't help you with grub. i don't have any experience with it. hopes this helps. its nothing but a scaled down version of the forest you're toting around, i'm sure.
