Re: Kernel issues: booting from USB storage (Repost)

Also, you may want to try using the Debian linux-image-2.6.24 package¹. I
think it corresponds to 2.6.24.7, so if it works you should be able to install
linux-source-2.6.24², patch that source with the realtime patches, and then
use make-kpkg in the kernel-package package to build it. Then you can work
with your config until you get it how you want it.
OK, looking good. I've installed the above package (actually gives me
2.6.24-6, very close to what I want,) it boots fine, THINKPAD_ACPI was
already configured in and auto-loaded. It even found my horrible Intel
3945ABG card which is usually a real pig to get to work. It didn't work
- complaining about something which I intepreted as a missing firmware
package; but it found it, which is quite amazing!
As I don't use the realtime kernel for day-to-day stuff, I'll get all my
regular stuff working first. It should then be a trivial exercise to
copy the configured kernel source and patch it for the RT kernel.
Many thanks for everyone's help on this - I'm finally on my way!
Cheers
