Just letting people know, (and a question below) The upgrade to 2.6 went well and solved my problem. At first I was completely unable to upgrade (seg faulting somewhere in the install of the kernel package whilst on 2.5)
So thankfully I had not removed my last good 2.4 kernel so reverted to it (lilo worked thankfully) and then proceeded to upgrade. All seems good so far. I had to add psmouse to my /etc/modules list on boot to support my trackpad (at /dev/psaux), and my wireless pcmcia NIC moved from eth1 to eth2 so I had to update /etc/network/interfaces with a line for eth2. What's the reason for the netowork card move ? Thanks for the help ramon On Fri, 2004-05-07 at 11:36, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Quoting Ramon Buckland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Learn more why this is so by using commands 'ldd' and 'strace' like this: > > #ldd /bin/df > > #strace /bin/df > > > > Hi, > > > > sometime in the past month, I performed an upgrade > > to my unstable debian.
