Hello Users,
A couple of weeks ago I tasted debian first time and was so excited about what Linux can offer these days that I wanted to give a serious try to move permanetly to linux world and leave windows behind.
Installing Sarge went without any complications, everything worked quite nice, although I had to do serveral configurations, updates and "apt-get installs". Only problem was with tv-card. I might got it working but then I red/heard that using 2.6 kernel would solve that problem, and overall it would be much better than 2.4, so I choosed to update.
I made another Sarge installation (just to be sure not to break anything) and started updating its kernel.
With help from this howto (which was, IMHO, very good and clear howto): http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm
I successfully build 2.6.9 kernel.
But when I booted It didn't work: When I booted I got graphical login screen where I entered username and password, but right after that I got error saying something like: Xsession lasted less than 10 seconds, ~/xsession.log has been writen.
No problem, as howto says: "You'll probably need to build the kernel a few times before you get it just right", so just reconfigure and rebuild :)
1) I booted back to 2.4 kernel and then I got this very urgent problem, i cannot connect to network.
2) I tryed to boot back to first Sarge installataion and no network.
3) I tryd to boot to windowsXP and same there, cannot connect to network.
I did factory reset to my ADLS modem, and retryed all steps abowe, no network.
During both Sarge boots I can see this error message: Spurious 8259A interrupt irq7
I dont know whether it is any way related to this problem.
Also I can see that DHCP fails to connect to my service provider.
======================== So, my QUESTION is here: ========================
I made two Sarge installations. Before kernel tryout both had properly operating network connection. After kernel tryout I have three OS (2 x Debian and 1 winXP) which cannot get network connection.
Can anyone point me some direction where to start looking. I reseted my ADLS modem, and it didnt have any affect, so does this mean that BIOS has been changed some how by my kernel tryout?
========================
Details of my computer: - Processor is AMD Athlon XP +3000 - Motherboard is K7N2 Delta-L http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K7N2_Delta-L
- Network card is on-board
- ADLS modem is A-Link RoadRunner 44
