Hi, I have identified a problem with my setup of Woody, and I would like some input. I wiped my machine down and used the floppies to setup a net install, this gives me kernel 2.2.20. Everything works fine except sound. This is OK as I know that I need 2.4.x for my sound to work. I then installed kernel-image 2.4.16-k7 to the system and everything including the sound works fine, and has done for about 10 days.
Today I went to backup some data to CD and my CD writer was not recognised. Infact my scsi sub-system was not recognised. I played around for a while but could not get it to work. Eventually, as it had worked under potato, I rebooted into 2.2.20 and it worked fine. Now, I am ent completly new, but not far from it. For people like me, and newer ones the fact that the instalation kernel (2.2.20) when replaced by a distribution kernel image from the same source (2.4.18) would be expected to run the same hardware, and it doesnt in this case. A truly new person would have just said, "I didn't get this trouble from Windows!" Is this a problem that I could have avoided in some way? I don't want to build kernels for ordinary systems, I just want to download the latest kernel inmage when I need the features and carry on working Keith -- ________________________________________________________________________ Keith O'Connell Maidstone, Kent (UK) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
