the kernel image listed above was added to my system (testing on an ibm thinkpad) during a recent dist-upgrade. it runs through all the regular boot messages but then refuses to bring up the log-in screen. the boot loh does not indicate anything unusual. this isn't a major issue as the system boots and runs as it should with the previous kernel image, vmlinuz-2.6.30-686. has anyone else experienced this? any way around it? or should one wait for a fix to appear in the regular course of things? thanks, sam ---- (Sam Varghese) PS: anyone responding, please copy me in as i am not subscribed to the list. -------------------------------- I had a similar issue & I found that I needed to install the correct firmware from the testing version of Debian. The developers have split off a lot of the firmware into sort of modules instead of having all of them in the kernel image. Install firmware-linux, & the dependent free & non free drivers. You may need to look at the other firmeware drivers to find what is needed for your specific hardware. Hope this helps. My issues was an older ati-rage videoboard that the drivers were taken out of the kernel. -- John Foster -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
