Re: Debian with 2.2.x kernel?

Quoting Jake Bishop ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
 I am using Slink with 2.2.5 I got from the proposed-updates dir.So far no 
 problems.I
 used the Dial-up
 install option when I first installed my system.I compiled it the Debian way
 according to the Book-
 make -kpkg. etc

On the other hand, I compiled the same source in the same manner,
updated netbase with the special slink-compatible version, and it
ran fine for 1hour 8mins before

alloc_skb called nonatomically from interrupt 
Kernel panic: skput:over: c281ade9:104 put:104 dev:eth0
In swapper task - not syncing

which looks a bit familiar from early 2.0.x kernels.
So I've purged it and gone back to 2.0.36.

BTW what is the canonical way of finding out the name of an installed
package with a long name? dpkg -l kernel-package* truncates the name
of the package but dpkg --status foo insists foo be complete.

Cheers,

Potato, later this year. It doesn't yet have a version number attached to
it.

I need a Linux distribution with the 2.2 kernel to install on my
system, since it uses a SCSI card only first supported in kernel
2.2.2.

Please read 'readme.txt' on the Debian rescue disk for instructions on
replacing the kernel on the rescue disk, and also read:

http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/running-kernel-2.2

for a list of incompatibilities with slink and kernel 2.2.
