I have kernel-image 2.4.18-bf2.4 on my Dell Dimensions XPS T450 using

and everything works. I just recently installed kernel-image
2.6.8-2-686 and the required kernel-headers.
I reinstalled my modem using the hcfpci*.deb file and it works but
when I use apt-get install, upgrade or
dist-upgrade connection to the server is not made. This was
repeatable several times over a period of three
days. Also after installing the 2.6.8-2-686 kernel image, X windows
quit working and I cannot access any of the window GUIs, KDE, Gnome,
etc. I uninstalled, reinstalled and reconfigured xfree86-common
which had no effect. I'm at a loss as my old kernel doesn't show
this problem when I boot it.
Will appreciate any help, suggestions to correct this problem. My
config-4 and log file are attached:

While I'm no expert, I had a similar problem with X.... Only after
bothering my support guru who fixed it by trial and error did I
remember to RTFM :)
The (EE) errors above are the clues. No mouse, no X! (You also had
another error loading a module, but I don't think that one was fatal.)
My answer was in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686/README.Debian.1st.gz where it
says:
--
PS/2 Mice
---------
If your PS/2 mouse does not work, make sure that the modules psmouse and
mousedev are loaded.
--
You can modprobe those modules and restart X. If that works, add the
modules to /etc/modules.
Hope this helps. (Can't help you with the modem problem, sorry.)

Ralph
