I seem to have lost it altogether. To answer your question, I installed a kernel from a downloaded mini-cd image obtained from a link on debian.org but it isn't an official Debian file. I was surprised to find that, even though the CD purported to be contain a production Woody release, the kernel is/was named 2.2.20-idepci. I have since installed the kernel-source package, built 2.4.18 and successfully booted and run X with it. It does not, however, detect my NIC (a built-in 3COM 3C920) that the original kernel detected and used without incident. I also downloaded a prebuilt 2.4.18 kernel via dpkg (don't recall the exact name but it was for Intel Pentium/Celeron chips). It also boots and runs X AND also does not detect my NIC. In fact, nothing to do with eth0 appears in /var/logs/messages at all when I boot with either of the 2.4 kernels. The 2.2 kernel reports that 3c95x.c has found a 3Com 3c905c Tornado card and I am able to talk to my LAN. I have included (built-in) every 3Com card I can find in menuconfig and see nothing unusual about the other network settings, and I am out of ideas. Rebuilding the kernel has been the most straightforward thing I've done yet with Linux; if it had worked I'd think I was really onto something. :) I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. -eb- have a look at the kernel-documentation to find out which driver is the right for your card. compile the driver as module. try loading the module (with modprobe) and see what happens. adjust /etc/modules.conf or so. perhabs the modulename changed that it stopped working while upgrading to 2.4. hope that helps. burkhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: i810 video and Debian 3.0
hi ya evan if after all those kernel checking didnt solve your x11 problem... than you would need to: a. install the silly agp drivers I810Gtt-0.2-4.src.rpm b. install the silly X server for the onboard SVGA i810 chipset XFCom_i810-1.2-3.i386.rpm c. config your XF86Config (antique) x11-i810 howto stuff... http://www.Linux-1U.net/MotherBoard/Intel.X11.patch.sh.txt and you're all set alvin On Sun, 8 Sep 2002, Bob Nielsen wrote: On Sun, Sep 08, 2002 at 09:09:11AM +0100, Peter Whysall wrote: On Sun, 2002-09-08 at 07:44, Evan Burkitt wrote: I recently installed version 3.0 of Debian on a Dell GX110, which has a built-in video adaptor based on the Intel i810 controller.

I think it will, once I find the config you're referencing. Also, I don't appear to have either menuconfig or xconfig on my installation. All I have for X configuration is /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config and dpkg-reconfigure run with 'xserver-xfree86' on the command line. I also don't have the agpgart module present; modprobe agpgart reports that it can't find it. If you could point me toward the config file I'll see what it says. Before we do that - are you using a regular Debian kernel package? I.e., did you install it by apt-get install kernel-imagefoo ?
