Great work, everyone! you're welcome :) Last time I tried the amd64 kernel from sid it oopsed during boot in kacpid (on my Tyan S2881). I haven't gotten around to reporting this yet. Should I, or does anyone who actually hacks on it have an S2881/2 mobo. > A few questions: > > 1) Is ALSA going to remain unusable until I upgrade alsa-base/alsa-utils > to 64-bit versions from pure64? If so, do I have to upgrade all of my > sound applications to ones from pure64? Someone mentioned a snd-ioctl32 module on this list recently... It's in the kernel in sound/core/ioctl32, but none of the docs in the kernel tree mention it. The comments in the code look promising, though. > I wish I had money to pay someone to make dist-upgrade magically work > for sid -> pure64/amd64 conversion! If you have the disk space, try debootstrap. Then maybe dpkg --get-selections | chroot something 'PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH; dpkg --set-selections' Then hack stuff around with /etc... Good luck hacking the symlinks and so on if you have /usr on a separate partition or something :) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X(peter@cor , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
