RE: moving to the 2.6 kernel?
Hi,
Just wondering if all you people are moving to 2.6 from Woody, Sarge or
sid? I have been trying to compile the 2.6.6 kernel on my Woody distro
and keep getting depmod errors.
I've tried using a number of different configs as a starting point
(including the knoppix one) and still can't seem to get it right.
I have now read that there may be issues with Woody going to 2.6. Is
that true? If so, I guess I'll try Sarge if that sounds like the best
option...
All I really want to do is get support for my DVB card!
Thanks.
Aaron.

I neglected to post one minor detail. The system doesn't survive the
boot
process. I've lost the error message, but it says something like
"error:
trying to kill init".
My hand-crafted [sic] 2.6.7 kernel is almost completely functional; it's
just that I couldn't figure out how to boot and/or configure the Debian
kernel-image package.

Is that the same thing as `less /var/log/dmesg`?

Thanks, Simon.
