Same here. The machine works and I used an older Matrox Millenium-II as graphics. > I am currently running the 2.4.18-generic kernel that I got by updating > the machine from stable to testing/unstable.

I'm aware, that stock kernel-packages work, even based on 2.4.x kernels. In addition, you can compile and run your own 2.4.x kernels, as long as you choose "generic" as arch-target. I can't live sith stock-debian kernels, since I want some patches on that machine. However, I *could* live with a "Generic" kernel, but I want to know, why the "correct" arch-type doesn't work - and probably fix the problem. Ultimately, I want Debina/testing on that machine, along with 2.6.0-test<x>. > Good luck, Thx ;-) Regards, Thomas -- Thomas Weyergraf [EMAIL PROTECTED] Funny IA64 Opcode Dept: ( see arch/ia64/lib/memset.S ) "br.ret.spnt.few" - got back from getting beer, did not spend a lot.
