I have compiled a 2.6.13.4 source from kernel.org, and the problem
stays (no wonder, being the first kernel I compile. What bewilders me
is that my comp didn't catch fire or something when I booted it on my
compiled 2.6.13.4 :^).
Where did you find the 2.6.13.3 package? I have Etch and Sid sources in
/etc/apt/sources.list, and 2.6.12 is the latest aptitude finds. Also,
search in the Debian site gives 2.6.12 as the official kernel for Etch
and Sid... could you post the sources.list line that does the trick,
please?
