You could do something like this: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib and then in /etc/apt/preferences to avoid updating everything to Sid: Explanation: lower priority than stable (500), 26.8.2011 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 400 BTW when you used 2.6.32 before, are you using Squeeze completely? Then I suggest upgrading to Wheezy. Squeeze is not recent enough for Sandybridge. So some of your problems might just be related to using Squeeze. I just run everything at Sid at the moment and it works marvellous. A bit more conservative approach would be using Wheezy which should be recent enough by now. At least 3.0 kernel already made it to Wheezy: martin@merkaba:~> rmadison linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 | 3.0.0-1 | wheezy | amd64, i386 linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 | 3.0.0-2 | sid | amd64, i386 Thanks, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
