Re: migration from RedHat to Debian, general question about Debian (dpkg, kernel, config)



Hi,
thanks for feedback. Now about your suggestions and my
experience

vk@vklaptop(12:50:44)> dpkg -S /etc/inittab
dpkg: /etc/inittab not found.
vk@vklaptop(12:51:00)> ls -l /etc/inittab
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         2008 Jul 23
13:13 /etc/inittab

dpkg -L give my back list of file in one packge and I
need vice versa procedure I want to spesify one file
and system should tell me back to which package it
belongs to. As I said with RPM it's possible with

vk@lnx134(10:20:10)> rpm -qf /etc/inittab
initscripts-7.14-1

And about kernel. Thanks for comments that
kernel-source is already shipped with all necessary
patches. Roberto asked about which mount options I
used
to mount cd.
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom         
udf,iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0

The question is why I can do it with debian kernel and
CAN'T with my custom one (even if I compiled installed
in Debian why through make-kpkg). I even check that I
compiled correctly cdrom module either as a module or
as embeded into kernel.
I also tried directly mount as
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
and got the same behaviour.

The reason I need a custom kernel is I need ACPI with
custom dsdt table to run on my laptop.

Thanks for feedback,
Valentine
