Kernel upgrade problem
hi lists: I would be grateful if you can share your expertise on the kernel upgrade of Debian PPC on Apple iBook. I'm trying to upgrade the kernel from the default 2.6.8 to the latest (from kernel.org), and I followed the drill using make-kpkg. However, after the compilation began (i.e.: after "make-kpkg kernel_image") I was prompted with loads of yes or no questions, since I'm clueless about most of them I just press enter for default, but the compilation failed in the end (don't see the .deb file which is supposed to show up). I wonder if this is normal (to have so many - I think there are around 100 of them - prompts during the process)? Anyone has experience on this? My environment is iBook G3 (late 2001), Debian Sarge. all the best, Lawrence -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems trying to configure laptop monitor
Hi. I am new here so I apologize if this question was answered before. I cannot configure my laptop's monitor, using Debian 1.3. I've got a HP Compaq. Any help? It crashes whatever the options I set (1024x768 @ any frequency, vesa, i"something", etc). Tanx. Nilton. begin:vcard fn:Nilton S. Branco n:S.

Since 2.6.9 the debian kernel packages for linux are calledlinux-image-* You probably want to install one of the linux-image-2.6.17-2-powerpc* packages. michael signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Actually: since Etch. Backports kernel-image-* packages may be found on backports.org .

What is the exact model of your laptop? Can you attach you /etc/X11/XF86Config ?

Here is a good piece of documentation that I think will help you out a lot. It will answer some of the questions that you have not asked yet. :-) http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html > I'm trying to upgrade the kernel from the default 2.6.8 to the latest > (from kernel.org), and I followed the drill using make-kpkg.

I recommend that you start by copying a good config file, such as from /boot, and then starting from there. Then use make menuconfig to get a nicer interface to answer those questions. (No, I don't like make xconfig.) cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config make menuconfig And then run the make-kpkg after it has been configured.

If I rembember if you upgrade to 2.6 kernel images, apt will be upgrade module-init-tools too. If don´t, you can try to do it manually.
