Ok, I installed your precompiled kernel. It installed without any problems.
I updated the /etc/yaboot.conf and executed ybin. Then the reboot: some error messages about kernel: cdrom: open failed. kernel: device-mapper: : dm-linear: Device lookup failed kernel: device-mapper: error adding target to table kernel: device-mapper: : dm-linear: Device lookup failed whatever that means... gonna research about it in a while. And there was a line about some alsa sound volume resetting that supposedly messed up... but I havent found it in the logs O_o... maybe some spelling error by me on my grep ;) So far so good - everything else works (no usb-stick here so cant test that need-to-have-feature) :/ Startsound greets me on login to ubuntu (must remember to turn that off) Then I closed the lid (my heart beating)... It took the computer a couple of seconds and IT WORKS! Sleep! Then I reopened the lid and was shocked! The bug when the display is all fuzzy and unreaddable was there. X appeared and the error was there, too. Since I used to fix that by killing X (alt-ctrl-backspace) and letting it restart into gdm (need to switch to my beloved text-only-login) I tried to just close the lid again. Sleep. Opening the lid. Wakeup: And *happy* the error was gone. Sound works, the usb-mouse works, the cd-burning works! Wonderfull! Now I'm gonna test it with all my regular applications running. (XChat, Gaim, Evolution, several Gnome-Terminals, Several Times Epiphany, emacs, ...) If they all survive and come back properly I am in absolute joy! Does your image include USB-Storage support? I hope it does. (oh ok - I just got your mail - If I'm right everything needed is compiled into the kernel) So. Great Thanks to you. Really! :happy: Timo Reimerdes ps: any idea about this occasionally messed up display? It's not your kernel - I had that with about every kernel version I had running on this computer, and as well under debian as under the ubuntu.
