I found that I did not install the alsa-modules package, just the alsa
applications. Installing these under 2.4.24, alsaconf sees the i810
card now, which is an improvement, but it still doesn't work.
What did start working is
ly bitchen fast when it does work.

I recommend you try Knoppix to see what it says about your harddrive.
It has excellent hardware detection, and will install on almost
anything x86 compatible.

forward. However, I had to enter noscsi etc at boot by hand the first
time before I could add it to /etc/lilo.conf.
Knowing that ahead of time would have saved me some headaches.

Hi. Since this is on a laptop I thought I'd ask here since the users

Ok, here's how pcmcia ethernet works for me.
I have installed the networking system. ifconfig shows the "lo"
interface, I can ping and telnet to 127.0.0.1, and things like that.
I hope yours is at that point also. If not, please make sure that you
can.
I then have entries in /etc/network/inter

I also had such a flicker on my Vaio GRT170 when I changed from a
Knoppix hd-install to straight Debian. But once I upgraded to 2.6.4,
the flicker went away.

vga=791 is also a text boot, but it's something like 50x130
characters, which means the boot messages go by slower and there are
more to see at once. Much better for trying to figure out when things
are happening.
