Hi Martin- Thanks once again, I really appreciate your help.
I downloaded the linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 deb file from Debian Sid as you suggested, but when I tried to install it I got this error message from the package instaler: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-base (<=3~)" Hmm... I thought at first that referred to the fact that I had booted into my 3.1.0-rc1 kernel, but I also tried it after booting into my old 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel and still I get the same error message. Can you explain how to work around this? When I search inside Synaptic for linux-base I only see the one that's installed- 2.6.32-35, even though I am running the 3.1.0-rc1 kernel... so I am confused. Do I need to add a new/different repository to my sources.list file in order to install a later version? Thanks so much, Keith Ostertag > Am Donnerstag, 25.
