Dear friends, Because of several daily freezes under AMD64 + nvidia, I decided to make a custom 2.6.18-rc4 Debian package.
I followed the normal procedure: * Download 2.6.18 kernel and patch agains 2.6.19-rc4 This is done by patch -p1 < patch.txt * cp /boot/config.xxx /usr/src/linux * make gconfig (and save) * make-kpkg kernel-image --initrd * make-kpkg kernel-headers After kernel installation and reboot, the freeze *** seem to dissapear ***, as I could copy three DVDs of DV content to my hard disc. Just a few questions: * How do I enable console debugging in the kernel. I heard it was possible, after a crash, to hit a few keys and display an error message. * What 64 bits kernel flavor should I choose? Debian chooses standard, but I have an Athlon64x2. Should I choose Athlon64 type? If people are interested, I can publish my kernel debs. But I doubt it is very interesting, as it is so easy to build a custom package with Debian.
