were to get new(est) kernel package (SMP ! - EM64T if possible) (was: installing sarge with USB keyboard)
Hi,
The netinst package below worked great ! Thanks to Len Sorensen.
Now I need to get another (never at best) kernel thought !
The Pentium D needs an SMP version kernel.
Can anyone point me to where maybe someone has build a ready-to-use
package !?
Otherwise, how can I get the source to build a new package myself ?
Can I just get deb-packages from etch or sid ? (I'm running sarge!)
Do I build the new kernel with gcc-3.3 or gcc-3.4 ?
I think 2.6.8 is definely to old, since I need SATA ...
(BTW, I could not use the on-board IntelPro1000 network card, e1000.ko
did not recognize it - did anyone else encounter this problem ?)
Thanks,
Sebastian Haase

Hi,
I just got a new Pentium D Dell PC and was very surprised when it didn't
respond on the first (choose language) screen of debian-installer...
It took me a while, but then I realized:
The PC was using a USB keyboard ! It doesn't even have as PS/2 port !
I'm using a amd64 netinst CD (also tried the full BIN-1 CD) from around
Jun-2005.
Where can I find a newer installation CD ? (I found only those "old"
images on the web)
Try this one:
http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/sarge-amd64-2.6.12-netinst.iso
(~90 meg download).
I used it for my Dual-Opteron. Works great.
And thanks again to Len Sorensen for making this available to us.
Regards,
Ozz.
