To do this, I already tried I'm running the debian stock kernel 2.6.1 on my desktop system without problems: % uname -a Linux artemis 2.6.0-1-k7 #2 Sun Jan 11 17:06:46 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux I noticed on playing with this: Even *IF* you used the modular stock kernel before, you will need to add modules Boot the system, change to a console with Ctrl-Alt-F2, login as root, run modconf. This will give you a menu with hw types and names to choose from. Modconf will also add the successful entries to /etc/modules. If that doesn't work, browse /lib/modules/2.6.1/... to guess the names of modules. Then add missing modules on the commandline modprobe -v ne2k-pci for example. If you successfully load a module, enter its name into /etc/modules. This is what I have to use --- snip --------------------------------------------------- # onboard (Asus K7V mother board with Athlon 500 MHz) apm rtc mousedev psmouse floppy loop lp # SCSI cdrom, tape (dawi control card with sym53c875 controller) sym53c8xx st sr_mod sg # graphics card (Matrox millenium G400) amd-k7-agp mga # sound card (Ensoniq) es1371 # ethernet (NE2000 pci and Realtek 8139) ne2k-pci 8139too pppoe ------------------------------------------------------------ Also note, that running 2.6 requires a number of packages to be updated, I got the most information from kerneltrap.org: "Feature: HowTo Upgrade To The 2.6 Kernel" http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/799 Good luck!
