Well, I have T43 with i810 card, but still. I have familiar problem (kernel 2.6.20) that can be worked around in such a way: after resuming change the console to the 1st and then to the 7th (chvt 1; chvt 7) one more time.

debian on laptop asus a2520
Hi all, I have just installed debian etch on my asus a2520 - basic NETINST. Sometimes, it seems quite random as a problem, I have a kernel panic just right after the linux boot, started by GRUB. THis similar problem happened right after GRUB tried to "launch" the os. windows - random too. HAs any of you experienced the same problem ? Solutions ? Do you think I might post this problem somewhere else, too ? Have a good day daniele ___ Yahoo! Mail réinvente le mail ! Découvrez le nouveau Yahoo!

It might be a hardware problem, like faulty RAM sticks.
I've got bad RAM, and memtest didn't found any errors; but by switching RAM the
(random) problems disappeared.

Beryl on my T43 with Debian Lenny crashes sometimes after restarting XDM. -- I'm a gambler And I'm a runner. But you knew it when you laid down. I'm a picture of ugly stories.

Aircard 850 on a Thinkpad Z61M
I'm running Debian unstable, linux-image-2.6.21-1-686_2.6.21-4_i386.deb and pcmciautils 014-3 on a Lenevo Thinkpad Z61M. I am trying to get my Sierra Aircard 850 recognized. When I insert the card into the PCMCIA slot I get the following in syslog: Jun 21 23:37:28 lab001 kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 Jun 21 23:37:28 lab001 kernel: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 i.e. no TTY is assigned to the card otherwise the card is recognized: = lab001:~# lspcmcia -v Socket 0 Bridge:[yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: :15:00.0) Configuration: state: on ready: yes Voltage: 5.0V Vcc: 5.0V Vpp: 0.0V Socket 0 Device 0: [serial_cs] (bus ID: 0.0) Configuration: state: on Product Name: Sierra Wireless AC850 3G Network Adapter R1 Identification: manf_id: 0x0192 card_id: 0x0710 function: 2 (serial) prod_id(1): "Sierra Wireless" (0xd85f6206) prod_id(2): "AC850" (0x42a2c018) prod_id(3): "3G Network Adapter" (0xab3c6f47) prod_id(4): "R1" (0xd9533fec) === when I run cardmgr though, the card is recognized and assigned to TTYS0. Do you have any suggestions as to why this is and how I can get this card assigned a TTY using a 2.6 kernel?

I don't have this card, but I believe I have seen similar behavior before if the firmware blob was missing. According to this http://mycusthelp.com/sierrawireless/supportkbitem.asp?sSessionID=&Inc=4703&sFilA=FAQ%20Category&sFilB=Products&sFilC=&KEY=860 cardmgr used to look for the firmware in /etc/pcmcia/cis/ According to this http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=118 for the 2.6 kernel you need to move that firmware blob over to /lib/firmware/ Clayton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
