Nope. I don't compile the kernel unless there's any specific need to do so. I just simply trust the Debian Kernel Team and install the Kernel they provide. (the one which gets installed directly and the one that runs out of the box. ) I don't know what you have in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, but here's the relevant line that should help you fetch the required kernel. deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free Once you have added this line, do apt-get update and then, use apt-cache search "linux-image" to search for the kernel-image appropriate for your architecture. I have the following package installed on my system. linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 - Linux 2.6.17 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 -- Regards, Amit.
