kernel-image 2.6.2 T 40 IBM
Hello, I am really tempted to upgrade my kernel but in the same moment I am afraid of loosing my data ( the usual problem ;-) ). I searched the web for kernel upgrades to 2.6.2 on a already running debian (especially on an IBM T40). The majority of pages I found were description of problems, most often concerning lilo. I would appreciate if some (IBM T40) user can tell me, if apt-get kernel-image-2.6.2 worked smoothly or which additional problems I have to be aware of. thanks in advance, cheers Martin running debian testing/unstable - please send me a CC when replying -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

pcmcia 3com 11 mbps wlan card on acer notebook
Hello everyone, I'm quite new to "Linux on the laptop", even if using debian on server boxes for some years now. The trouble I have is with my PCMCIA 3com "11 Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card" Model "3CRWE62092B" in my Acer Travelmate 529ATX-notebook (debian-sarge, 2.6.3 kernel). I'm currently greping/googleing trough the pcmcia and other FAQ's and docs, but was not able to use this card, yet. Does anybode use this wlan-card, too, and could give me some hints or installation guides? Which chipset does this card use? Thanks you very much in advance, Dennis Breithaupt signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: kernel-image 2.6.2 T 40 IBM
Hi, AFAIK, there are no problems when upgrading kernel, even from 2.4 to 2.6. There may be possible problem with 2.6 kernel on your IBM, but there is always possibility to boot old kernel if new does not work. In lilo prompt type linuxold (if you don't have enabled boot menu, it is reacheable by holding left shift).

Debian sarge on Asus M2400-N
|ok |does switch off |
|__|_|_|display___|
|suspend_to_ram|_|not_tested___|__|
| | | |apparently needs |
|suspend to disk | |not tested |kernel patches|
|__|_|_|(swsusp)__|
===
** Initial Installation **
I used an unofficial image of the new debian-installer in a variant including
the xfs filesystem. I installed a minimal sarge system (did not run tasksel,
did not install X) with bootloader "grub" installed into MBR (master boot
record). I'm not going into details here, since the new debian-installer is
still under heavy development.
Alternatively, install a woody minimal system, edit /etc/apt/sources.list to
point to "testing" (currently same as "sarge"), and "apt-get update", "apt-get
dist-upgrade" should get you to a working "sarge" system as well.
The network works out of the box (module 8139too) and is assumed functional for
the rest of this article.
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add vga=791 for more characters on the display.
< # kopt=root=/dev/hda3 ro
---
> # kopt=root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=791
run update-grub to activate these settings.
Install hdparm and run hdparm /dev/hda to check that DMA is enabled. hdparm -
t /dev/hda does timed disk writes. The resulting rate should be larger than 20
MB/sec.
pallas:~# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount= 16 (on)
IO_support = 3 (32-bit w/sync)
unmaskirq= 0 (off)
using_dma= 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead= 256 (on)
geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 78140160, start = 0
pallas:~# hdparm -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 82 MB in 3.05 seconds = 26.91 MB/sec
Neccessary changes can be made on the command line but will be lost during
reboot. To make changes persistent over boot, add the settings to /etc/
hdparm.conf
/dev/hda {
mult_sect_io = 16
io32_support = 1
dma = on
}
===
** Make ACPI work **
Add the following acpi boot parameters into /boot/grub/menu.lst like described
above.
acpi=on acpi_irq_balance acpi_irq_isa=3,12
Add the following modules to /etc/modules
acpi ac battery button fan processor thermal
Now reboot. Check that the modules are loaded, check that acpi if functional by
playing with the LEDs on the front side:
echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/mled
echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/wled
echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/mled
echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/wled
Install a daemon to control cpu-speed (powernowd, cpufreqd, cpudyn, maybe
more). I selected powernowd. Of course it needs a few more modules to run:
speedstep-centrino cpufreq-powersave cpufreq-userspace
Load them with modprobe -v modulename and add them to /etc/modules. I have not
yet checked, whether powernowd really does something. However, the daemon
starts up without complaints.
Note: (20040222) I found that reading .pdf files with acrobat reader (embedded
in mozilla) will push cpu usage to 100% (xserver process), will increase cpu
frequency to 1400 MHz, and will power up the fan. Even though the cpu
consumption is most probably a bug, it shows that powernowd does it's thing,
and cpu frequency is indeed adjusted.
To make use of the hotkeys and the powerbutton, install acpid. It will listen
to /proc/acpi/event. Match patterns and actions are located in /etc/acpi. The
powerbutton works out of the box and issues a init 0 when called. More examples
are located in /usr/share/doc/acpid/examples.

** Install Xfree86-4.3 **
I didn't compile Xfree86-4.3. Instead I found that it is available in the
experimental section of the Debian apt repositories. My /etc/apt/sources.list
contains these lines:
deb http://artemis/apt-cacher/ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib
non-free
deb http://artemis/apt-cacher/ftp.de.debian.org/debian testing main contrib
non-free
deb http://artemis/apt-cacher/ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib
non-free
deb http://artemis/apt-cacher/ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main
contrib non-free
I also created the file /etc/apt/apt.conf:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
APT::Cache-Limit 1000;
This marks testing as the preferred release (maybe sarge would be more
appropriate). Now run apt-get update to fetch the latest package lists. To
install a minimal set of Xfree86 run
apt-get -t experimental install mdetect read-edid x-window-system-core xterm
fluxbox
and watch the show. This is what I chose for configuration
