Sarge on Presario 2200
Hello, debian-laptop users. Recently I received Compaq Presario 2200 laptop (2209CL) and tried to install Debian Sarge, but I encountered one problem: Installation finishes successfully, but after reboot laptop doesn't boot properly. Last thing I see is hotplug tries to modprobe i810_audio i810_audio: has id 0, resetting connection 0, connection 0 with codec 0. Codec 0 is softmodem, skipping. unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0024, printing eip deb2c1d2 *pde= Oops: ...registers, stack and call trace here... ./pci.agent: line 156: 354 segfault $MODPROBE $MODULE > /dev/null 2>&1 i810_audio can't be loaded missing kernel or user mode driver i810_audio looks like booting continues, but after this I receive two lines about successfull registering drivers usbdevfs abd hub and computer hangs. No disk activity, nothing -- but keyboard is working, symbols I typing appearing on the screen. But boot process doesn't continues. This problem persists with both 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 kernels. Ubuntu livecd boots soccessfuly (and audio works fine, btw). Any ideas, any help would be greartly appreciated. -- WBR, Alexander A.

Re: ATI 9700 Driving Me to InsaNitY
I have a PC with an Nforce2 chipset running a Radeon9800 and to get it working properly, not only did I have to use Stanchina's fglrx debian packages, I had to compile my chipset's agpgart into the Kernel and disable any DRI. Try commenting out DRI in your xorg config. Good luck. On Thu, 2005-05-05 at 09:45 +0200, Marco Calviani wrote: > Hi, >have you tried with Flavio Stanchina's Debian packages?

New laptop / neues notebook
I am going to buy a new laptop here in Germany, planning to use Debian Sarge as system on it (of course ;-), using it mostly in SE-Asia (Indonesia). I would like to get some input regarding the brand/model I should buy. On my list, I have following choices (so far): (1) ASUS A-3878GLP (2) ASUS A-6778GLP (3) SAMSUNG X20-XMV-1600-II (4) Samsung-P35-XVM-1600-III Any ideas, suggestions, recommendations, warnings,...???

I faced exactly the same problem. The way I fixed it was to do the base-install using woody and then upgrade to sarge and do the rest of the installation. But that was about 7 months back.

Re: Sarge on Presario 2200
I suggest that you use the netinst install CD and select a 2.6.10 or 2.6.11 kernel image in the package-selection process. Then when you boot, GRUB should let you choose which kernel you want, and maybe one of them will work for you. FWIW, I used a Presario 1690 with Sarge and it worked fine.
Re: Problems logging in to X-windows [KDE]
I recommend that you throw that installation away and use the Sarge netinst CD image to install with. There's really no point in installing Woody and upgrading to testing anymore; the new installer works great. I'm amazed at how many people are still using the old-fashioned install methods.
