Debian :: Howto For Liquorix Kernel?
May 16, 2010I am in the process of upgrading from squeeze to sid (not my main install, playing around) and would like to try out the liquorix kernel.

Debian Installation :: Kernel Liquorix And Nvidia Driver / Error Doesn't Found The Kernel Source Tree?
Oct 1, 2010I installed the latest kernel liquorix (2.6.35) but when i want to install the Nvidia driver downloaded on the Nvidia website (256.53), i have an error message because Nvidia doesn't found the kernel source tree.
I install linux-image-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb, linux-headers-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb and build-essential. I don't understand why the installation doesn't works.
Debian :: Numerous Liquorix-kernel's After Update
Nov 25, 2010I have ran the regular apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and it pulls in newer versions of the liquorix kernel pretty often. Now whenever I boot up my system, I notice that there are now about three different 2.6.36.dmz liquorix kernels installed (I can't remember the exact numberings on that).
How can I remove all versions of the liquorix kernel except for the latest?
Debian :: Installation Of The Liquorix Kernel In Wheezy
Jun 15, 2011I searched the forum about installing the liquorix kernel but I cannot understand why the file /etc/apt/sources.list is not mentioned to invoke the liquorix repository.

Debian :: Liquorix Kernel 2.6.36-2.dmz.2 686 Icedove Crash
Dec 20, 2010I'm using Squeeze and icedove and iceweasel and I've installed the package linux-image-2.6.36-2.dmz.2-liquorix-686. It works fine on my Dell 1521 Inspiron laptop with only one exception. If I'm surfing the web or checking my mail via a wired internet connection I'm fine... if I'm surfing the web or checking my mail via a wifi connection everything is fine... but if I happen to forget to connect to a wifi connection, and I'm in a situation where a wired connection is not available, I can start iceweasel (it doesn't do anything constructive), but checking my mail with icedove (simply starting the program) crashes my computer.
If I boot up with the 2.6.32-5 kernel, the one that's in the regular debian repository, I can not duplicate the crash. Somewhere I read that the liquorix kernels are optimized for a desktop computer. Is this my problem? Is it something else?
During the crash my screen goes to a text console and I see syslogd messages on the screen -- which I cannot reproduce here.
Debian Configuration :: Fglrx Isn't Working With The Latest Liquorix Kernel
Nov 5, 2010For quite a long time now, I haven't even needed to re-install video drivers most of the time. However, ever since version 2.6.36-0.dmz.4, they haven't been. I booted my system after installing that kernel, re-installed the video drivers, and when that didn't work, completely removed them and re-installed them, and it still didn't work. Well, I was told that the installation was successful but even after restarting it appeared that they weren't working. I installed 2.6.36-0.dmz.5 today and the same problem persists. I tried an older kernel version (2.6.36-4 something) and they worked fine.

Feb 24, 2010I just recently installed Lenny 5.04 on my computer and when it comes to the desktop the top and bottom bars seem to be set for a lower resolution. They only go about a third of the way across the screen and if set to be at the bottom the bottom bar is only a third of the way down the screen. The logon window fits this format but most other things go full screen (games don't though).
What is it I need to change and as an aside how do I change the screen resolution if I want everything bigger (so I can read it with my old eyes)

I would have thought that removing a given kernel package would trigger the removal of the older kernel headers. Can someone confirm that is, or is not, the behavior? I ask this because it seemed to me that the older kernel header packages were indeed removed when I removed some older kernel packages.
For example, the linux kernels I have installed are:

Also, the linux-headers packages I have installed are:

So, when I get around to removing the linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 package like this:

I would expect apt-get to automatically also remove linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common. Is that what will happen, or do I need to explicitly state all three packages on the apt-get remove command?
General :: Debian 686 Kernel Total Networking Failure On IbmX60 But 486 Kernel Works
Feb 11, 2011The 486 kernel works just fine, and while I have only 1GB of RAM at the moment I hope to have 2GB someday and would like to take advantage of the dual core CPU, so I would like to configure grub to run the 686 kernel by default. For whatever reason, it runs the 486 right now and the 686 fails in a major way: there is no network connectivity at all. It could be plugged into my cable modem router and it shows no wired connections. The fact that one works and the other doesn't puzzles me since I haven't touched either since the install and a few rounds of upgrades.
I should mention I'm newbie but getting better; I managed to install debian on this x60, yet while preserving the factory install rescue & recovery partition and preserving the factory install MBR so that ibm-specific hardware functions (thinkvantage button, etc.) still work. This required me to use dd to copy the first 512 bytes of my debian partition to a file in the windows partition, etc., and modifying the windows bootloader. (I wish I had learned dd long ago--it rocks). I did this because if I ever resell the X60, the fact is most people use MS Windows and having that partition adds a perception of value to some potential buyers; not to mention I paid $ for it (I was young & stupid) so why should I delete it. I also backed up the recovery partition on another drive using dd over NFS in case the hd ever heads south.
Anyway, I've never been comfy with messing with the kernel. I did once recompile a module for ALSA because it had a bug in it for an old Yamaha integrated sound card on an old PIII and the newer version worked [alsa fails on this x60 too but I think I found a post on here that has a solution I will try later]. But I'm clueless as to networking modules, not to mention the correct module is installed already from Intel for this chipset. So what is there to do?
Here's a clue: the ifconfig output is radically different from the 686 and 486 kernels. Looks like hardware is not being detected since eth0 fails to show:
I would show the diff output below if it weren't so long--and not allowed--upon 2 text files, the first holding the output of modprobe -l under the 486 kernel and the second under the 686 kernel.

View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Kernel That Works, I.e., The 2.6.27 Kernel?
Jun 18, 2010I'd be interested in your views on this. Background: After many hours of trying to configure a particularly recalcitrant graphics card as posted here, I eventually resorted to trying Mandriva 2009, which, with the 2.6.27-desktop 586-0.rc8.2mnb kernel, solved the terrible problem of slow, hit-and-miss booting with Debian and also random freezes with Ubuntu.However, when updating to Mandriva 2010, the problems with booting, and also a wrong screen resolution were back so, for the time being, I settled for the 2009 release.
My question is: Having found out that the Mandriva kernel worked, does anyone know if would it be possible to finally bring this laptop to heel with Debian + a 2.6.27 kernel and following the time-honoured adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" leave such a kernel in place without updating to a newer one?
