Can you post the full kernel output (dmesg) from both > 2.4 and 2.6? Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply. How do i install the 2.6 kernel? Is there a way to do that from the install CD? >>- Is there a way i can take a basic install of a 3.0r2 system and >>upgrade to sarge via apt? > > > Edit /etc/apt/sources.list change the list from stable to sarge > (i.e. have something like: > deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sarge main > ) > > and then do: > > apt-get update > apt-get dist-upgrade I found the instructions for distro upgrades at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-woody.en.html and installed the testing distro, but i still ended up with the same kernel (and a broken X server, but that's a separate issue). There doesn't seem to be a kernel package listed in 'dpkg -l' - how do i get a new kernel? (I'm used to the Red Hat way where you can 'rpm -i' multiple kernel packages and select from them at boot time - is there a similar mechanism for Debian?) Also, i used 'testing' in /etc/apt/sources.list where you have 'sarge'. Is that wrong? -- Paul http://paulgear.webhop.net -- Think context!
