iBook Debian kernel upgrade
hi list:
I have Debian (Sarge) installed on an iBook G3 (White book), the
kernel is now 2.6.8, I downloaded 2.6.17.2 from kernel.org, would
anybody tell me how to upgrade?
The downloaded file is: patch-2.6.16.2, the content starts with these:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 1700d3f..7b3837f 100644
--- a/Makefile

The reason that I want to upgrade kernel is that the audio driver
doesn't work, so I see the speaker logo at the upper-right but no
sound could be played at all. I ran the following three commands:
modprobe soundcore dmasound_core dmasound_pmac
modprobe dmasound_core dmasound_pmac
modprobe dmasound_pmac
And the 3rd one returned error:
FATAL: Error inserting dmasound_pmac
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-powerpc/kernel/sound/oss/dmasound/dmasound_pmac.ko):
No such device
Kernel upgrade was recommended for fixing this error.
Thanks in advance,
Lawrence
