I don't see the original post so I might be missing something
but I did an install of AMD64 and it too did not boot. I found
that grub was using (hd0,0) where it should have been (hd0,1). I
edited the line with grub interactively and it booted.

Mouse gestures are awesome. And now you can get mouse gestures for FireFox.

Anyone have a Sangoma installed in Debian? I have a couple of boxes that use
CF (compact flash) instead of hard disks that I am trying to develop a Debian
system with Sangoma (A101) support for. It looks like there are no .deb

I am looking for 2.6.12 for i386. apt-get does not show anything available and
google finds it for other platforms. Where can it be found? I don't want the
generic and I don't want to have to "make menuconfig" but am looking for a
standard config file.
