I have a problem on my hp mini (just started recently), it gets stuck when my wireless / bluetooth / 3g wan is enabled - I have a rfkill switch on the box, seem like the kernel is having a hard time initialising stuff. went it happens I disable the things via the kill switch and it progress on and then once it started i turn them back on with the kill switch - all is okay > > > > I must then hard restart my machine and change setings in BIOS to > > disable wlan and bluetooth > > That does look pretty bad.

If you (pch0317) need to build a custom kernel, you might want to look at one of my web pages, http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm, which gives a fairly detailed tutorial of the process. But that's a rather drastic step. I've had to build a custom kernel before, but never to create one which is not dependent on an initial RAM disk. The first thing I'd try is to rebuild the initial RAM disk. Do that with, for example, update-initramfs -u By default, it will update the initial RAM filesystem for the running kernel. Then shutdown and reboot. The second thing I'd try is a different bootloader, such as lilo. Grub version 2 is still beta code and there have been a lot of problems with it. I remember the last time Grub version 2 was updated I had to help someone through the process of replacing Grub with lilo because, for his system, it just wouldn't boot. -- .''`.

WLAN and Bluetooth
Hi I have problem with my wireless embedded device. I use Debian testing and Compaq 615 notebook with Broadcom 802.11 b/g. Only if I enable in BIOS "embedded WLAN" and "embedded bluetooth" my Debian can't boot up. When this option are "disable" linux boot up, but I can't play with wireless and bluetooth device. I use linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64. What can I do? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
