It looks like XFree86 3.3.6, which is what's in Debian Potato, doesn't support Radeon, so you'll either need to grab the packages from Woody or Sid, upgrade your entire system to Woody or Sid, or compile XFree86 yourself. (And how are you getting kernels from xfree86.org? AFAIK, xfree86.org doesn't host the kernel sources.)

Now all I get is the prompt GRUB> If you want to run grub, you really need to read the documentation. /usr/share/doc/grub/README.Debian has a nice summary of how to get things to work. Try typing in the following commands at the grub prompt: root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-<kernel version> root=/dev/hda2 boot grub has tab completion, so if you don't know the kernel version for the second line, just type up to "vmlinuz-" and hit TAB, and it'll give you a list of options. You could also try just "/vmlinuz" instead of "/boot/vmlinuz-<version>", but I don't know if grub groks symlinks. - -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.geocities.com/hubertchan/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/71FDA37F Fingerprint: 6CC5 822D 2E55 494C 81DD 6F2C 6518 54DF 71FD A37F Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
