Installing 2.6 in expert26 mostly works, except for this one time. linux26 rarely works. I'd be more than happy to try anything you suggest. I have no reports of hardware problems anywhere: I run either 2.6.9 or 2.4.29 (current). Day before yesterday did a e2fsck -cc on both drives: clean. There is of course, the setup: I run (B)Ruby, 2 monitors/keyboards/mice on 1 PC for 2 simultaneous users with 2 X servers. That uses either a patched 2.4.29 or a patched 2.6.9. 2 video cards: PCI MX-440 and AGP TNT2 and the monitors to those cards, X servers pointing to the cards. 2 IBM PS/2 keyboards in the mini-connectors for "keyboard" and "mouse" and 2 A4Tech USB mice in 2 USB ports. But d-i rc2 finds the keyboard without a problems. Regards, Hugo ----- End forwarded message ----- -- see shy jo
