Try 2.6.11 or 2.6.12 from sid, and make sure your mainboard has the latest bios revision. > I tried installing the amd64 kernel, but it won't work with the nvidia > drivers (maybe because there is no headers package for this kernel?). > As a result of this, X won't start at all. There are known problems using nvidia drivers with 64bit kernel on 32bit userland: you need the 64bit kernel module, but the 32bit drivers, but there are no known reports this works at all. I suggest you either go with XFree86 nv driver, or with amd64 sarge (64bit userland). Or with a k7 kernel, if you need both 32bit userland and nvidia drivers. > I tried to load APM, but it failed too: > > FATAL: Error inserting apm > (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.ko): No such > device AMD64 mainboards do not have any APM support, you should use ACPI.
