Huh? If you are installing Etch, there is *no way* that you still have a
2.4 kernel. 2.4 kernels were completely removed from both Debian in
general and from the installer before Etch was released.



Hello,

I'm sorry to say so, but apparently it *is* possible. uname -r gives
me a 2.4.xxxxx kernel as response. I did do an install of 3.0r4 and
*then* a dist-upgrade to 4.0rx, perhaps that is the reason. Sadly I
didn't turn on the machine this morning otherwise I could have logged
into it from here. Later I will post the sources.list, but it should
be okay, since I remarked all lines before I did a sudo apt-cdrom add
for all 3 the DVD's for 4.0 and then performed a dist-upgrade.

With kind regards,
Angelo
