Shouldn't the pre-/postinst fix this?

Yes. That's about when I got it. I've been trying to get a 2.6 kernel working for about a year or so. The kernels availible in woody/sarge didn't work, hence I had to upgrade to sid (2.6.17). I wasn't TO happy to be forced to upgrade to sid, but it wasn't that big-a-deal.. > 2) you installed a debian 2.6.x kernel. Was it a 2.6.8 from sarge, or a more > recent 2.6.1[567] from etch/sid ? First the 2.6.8 from sarge which didn't work, then 2.6.1[67] from sid which both work (albeight the i8042/atkbd isn't loaded _with_ the kernel). > 3) you are using initramfs-tools or yaird for generating the ramdisk (if you > have 2.6.1[567] that is).
