Missing packages or modules for Sid 2.6.X kernels?
Hi,
I use Debian Sid pre-packaged kernels on my Dell laptop.
When a new binary kernel package comes out I do a
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686 kernel-headers-2.4.26-1-686 \
kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.26-1-686 lm-sensors-2.4.26-1-686 \
nvidia-kernel-2.4.26-1-686
and then edit my GRUB menu.lst and I'm done. However,
I have trouble getting 2.6 debian pre-packaged kernels running.
There seem to be only two packages for 2.6, kernel-image, and
kernel-headers. When I install these
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.6-1-686 kernel-headers-2.6.6-1-686
and then try to boot into 2.6.6, I get kernel panic because,
apparently, none of the kernel modules were installed and the kernel
does not like that.
1. Am I supposed to be installing 2.6.X versions of the packages
kernel-pcmcia-modules, lm-sensors, and nvidia-kernel?
If so, where are these packages located, I can't find them.
2. Is there a completely different package name(s) for the modules
for the Sid 2.6.X kernel? If so, what is it?
3. Is it just that all the required Debian packages for 2.6.X kernels
have not yet been finished so everyone else who tries the binary
kernels encounters the same problems I do?
Thanks,
Charlie
