Modules missing in vmlinux-prep.initrd (netboot)

It boots quite well, switches from serial to console once the video card (matrox millenium) has been detected, and lauches the setup. It then freeze on hardware detection, and all i got from the logs are some modules missing: ncr53c8xx usb-storage (i don't care, i don't have usb controller) ide-detect | ide-generic| idem, i don't have ide. ide-mod| ide-probe-mod | Before filing a bug report, i am calling for advice: do i miss something ?

I need someone who can provides me a working kernel/ramdisk to launch the installation process or provides me instruction to build them.

Euro sign (ISO-8859-15) and a swiss german keyboard
Hello all I managed it to install a swiss german keyboard to my poserbook console and X11 environment. I use a de_CH / ISO-8859-1 combination - I suppose (not 100% sure) - but when I run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales', there is no other combination for ISO-8859-x. I loaded (with modconf) the two NLS modules ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15; my LANG=de_CH (set in etc/environment); locale -a shows de_CH, de_CH.iso88591 and C. Nevertheless on the console I can produce the euro sign (modified the sg- latin1.kmap.gz). But in the X11-kde-environmet modifing the macintosh/ de_CH file dosen't help. I played with locale.alias <- de_CH.iso885915 de_CH.ISO-8859-15 locale.gen/locale-gen <- de_CH ISO-8859-15 etc/environment <- de_CH.iso885915 or de_CH.ISO-8859-15 => NO EFFECT in X11 (as far as I could check) => EFFECT in console: problem console font : setting up general console font ... /etc/init.d/rcS: line 1: de_CH.ISO-8859-15: command not found Does anyone of you have an idea how I can use the charset ISO-8859-15 in combination with my swiss german keyboard in an X11-kde-environment (in order to produce an euro sign)? Thanks in advance for helping me Roland Wegmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have not taken part of the thread before, but rigth now I am using the pmdisk in a iBook G4 (3.3) 14" with DRI disabled and the suspend-to-disk works. The xfree86-common is version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 and I took the patch from Guido's web. I know this does not help a lot, but is for saying that it works (at least and for this while) for me.

I could not compile 2.6.7 due a problem with gcc/binutils in Debian Sid. But I patch 2.6.8 with this: http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-ppc/kernel/pmdisk-2.6.8.diff Your .config is like mine in the Graphic section, I found some difference in XFree configuration.

So > switching to the console before suspend doesn't help, does it? it does not help, i tried (manual by suspending on the console, and using chvt), i also tried suspending the display with xset.
