Is this possible to do with aptitude (I know that it is possible to some extent with dpkg but that looses the automatically installed flag). Use `dpkg --get-selections somefile.txt` on the configured machine. Then do `dpkg --set-selections somefile.txt` on the target. Obviously, you need to get somefile.txt to the target. Also, then do an 'apt-get dselect-upgrade' -- J. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had this with a kernel 2.6.16 under gentoo (before I switched over). The solution was to compile GENERIC_IDE_SUPPORT into the kernel. You'll find it under ATA-Devices in the device drivers section. Depending on your hardware, that can work. An alternative since you're using the old config file is to recreate an appropriate initial ramdisk which bootstraps needed kernel modules. See mkinitrd and the various linux kernel howtos for details. - -- J. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFFEag6vxud+cMTf5IRArxjAKCG3x3oxlwUBfVuS8/DcdBEgwB2PACeLmj4 C8YRoLl0qDFnhL0Q4y+EDq4= =qbJe -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
