** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22 Using the 20070921.1 desktop i386 CD with Acer Travelmate C104TCi (BIOS R01AK). Note: To boot from the IEEE1394 (Firewire) DVD-ROM/CD-RW external drive it seems there is a *trick* to getting the BIOS to recognise the drive at boot-time. - First, enter BIOS (press F2) and in the Advanced Settings ensure "Legacy - IEEE1394" is enabled. In the list of bootable devices there should be - "IEEE1394 device". If not: + First, enter BIOS (press F2) and in "Startup Configuration" ensure "1394 + Legacy Mode" is enabled. In the list of bootable devices there should be + "1394 Optical Device". If not: 1. Unplug the drive. 2. Restart the PC and plug the drive in just after the PC powers-up, and then re-enter BIOS setup with F2. - Now ensure the device is ahead of the "hard drive" in the boot order. + Now ensure the device is ahead of the "hard drive" in the boot order or + when the PC is starting press F12 to bring up the boot-device menu and + choose there. Summary of problems encountered: 1. Whilst starting the video is blank instead of showing splash 2. After Gnome starts there is no gnome-main-menu panel - just desktop with "Examples" and "Install". 3. No reaction when double-clicking "Examples". Right-click brings up the desktop context menu correctly. 4. Cannot switch to virtual terminals with Ctrl+Alt+F1 - F6 5. Restarting GDM works with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace 6. After restarting GDM, gnome reports "Nautilis can't be used now, due to an unexpected error" with the details: "Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem" This may or may not be a symptom of bug #138915 "unionfs NULL pointer dereference in 2.6.22-11.32" + Safe Graphics mode is worse - the video appears to switch to graphics + mode (vesafb?) but there's no text output (missing fbcon?) and Gnome + never appears, the screen remains blank with backlight lit. + + The Alternate CD starts okay but I haven't allowed it to install yet until I'm sure the existing Windows file-system and partition can be safely resized from there. I shall test with Safe Graphics mode, and also the Alternate CD later.
