In our case, the older (2.4.17) kernel was used because it was known to be sufficient to install. We haven't done any developement on 2.4.17 and thus there is no "upgrade" candidate. Install a newer kernel-image-<version> (eg 2.4.20) package to get a newer kernel. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a debian 2.4.20 hppa kernel package...I'm told one exists but hasn't been officially uploaded. I hope Bdale (package maintainer) has time in the next couple of days to do that (Thanks Bdale! ;^) grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I'm not a Debian, nor an hppa expert, but here is what worked for me: After a standard installation of Woody 3.0, I did upgraded the kernel using a debian package ("kernel-image-2.4.19-32_22.2_hppa.deb), from a debian mirror (found in the directory "pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.19-hppa"). I downloaded it, then I installed it using the 'dpkg' command. I remember that the first time I tried, there was a dependency problem and I had to add another package from the CD (don't remember which one). After a reboot, the system started and I had a working mouse with 'gpm' and 'X', using the configuration tips found in the links you mentioned. -- Damien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
