Re: Installation disks should be using 2.6.10 kernel

I was the happy owner of a K8N-E with an Athlon 64.
I went crazy to upgrade the debian I had from my previous installation
to the current one.

Well I've got exactly the same problem with the same motherboard.
First I saw that the kernel on the install CD didn't recognized my onboard
gigabit network adapter, so I put a ne2000 pci card in my computer and
tried again, then it was unable to use my SATA drive so I gave up.
Debian sarge i386 won't be instalable on my computer neither.
So I tryed Ubuntu and it installed imediatly without problem but ubuntu
is gnome oriented and their kde packages sucks, so I wonder if it's possible
to "convert" an ubuntu installation to an amd64-sid ? (sounds weird but perhaps
there's a way) Of course, the best would be to include 2.6.10 in the amd64-sid
install CD.


you can install a debian install onto a different partition (quite easily). setup another partition to be the root of your debian install. mount it onto your ubuntu system somewhere, then follow the faq alioth: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id274055. I am not sure exactly where you would get cdebootstrap from (ubuntu is debian based, so perhaps it would have it?), perhaps just try and install it from a .deb downloaded from a debian archive.

Hope it helps.
