Debian :: Use Kfreebsd Debianised Kernel

Aug 9, 2011

Another option that nobody suggested me to boot Wheezy is to use the kfreebsd kernel. Although, I installed the BSD kernel, I am still unable to boot Debian using it. To do this I am using the grub-pc shell.Could anyone explain the meaning of these lines and how they relate to Debian?

Debian Configuration :: How To Setup Grub For Kfreebsd

May 1, 2011

I installed Debian GNU/Linux and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD on the same system. I didn't reinstall grub with kfreebsd, because I figured running grub-mkconfig would modify grub.cfg. But it didn't.It recognized the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD as GNU/Linux (6.0.1):

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
Found Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.1) on /dev/sda3
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

I checked the md5sum of the iso image, and the integrity of the DVD passes, but when I run the kfreebsd-amd64 DVD I get to the partitioner stage, set out my partitions, click 'yes' to format and then my computer reboots. Is this a known error or a bad burn?

Debian :: KFreeBSD - How To Install Intel Video Drivers

Jun 8, 2011

Feel stuck between Debian and BSD worlds - not sure where to turn.

Running GNU/kFreeBSD debian 8.1-1-amd64 and base system working. Can not get X or xrandr to co-operate and use proper resolution of 1680x1050. I believe the basis of this is that it using the VESA drivers and instead should be using the INTEL drivers.

I have no 'pkg_add' for ports, plus obviously no Debian repos will help for this .... unless there are some specific kFreeBSD repos I dont know about? I can post more details on the system, but am hoping that there are other options besides compiling. I can do that if need be, but not even sure which one to use. Will these work on this system? [URL]

user@debian:~$ uname -a
GNU/kFreeBSD debian 8.1-1-amd64 #0 Mon Feb 21 22:03:13 UTC 2011 x86_64 amd64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GNU/kFreeBSD
user@debian:~$ lsb_release -a

Debian :: Upgrade Debian 3 Kernel 2.4.18 To Kernel 2.6 Or Bigmem-kernel?

Nov 11, 2010

We have a Dell 1850 with Debian with 2.4.18 kernel running some critical applications, now the issue is we need to upgrade the memory to 8 GB but the memory is detected by the bios itself, Operating system is not able to detect it, it is showing 3096MB of memory,

After a lot of googling and the artical in linux.com/archive/articles/119287 :: Got more than a gig of RAM and 32-bit Linux? Here's how to use it i came to know the solution i.e

1)I need to install the Bigmem-kernel to detect the ram more than 4Gb,

2) or change some kernel parameters in configuration file and rebuild the kernel

Is there any another solution for this to update operating system to detect the more RAM

Debian :: Automatic Removal Of Kernel Headers Package When Kernel Packages Are Removed

Dec 28, 2008

As a follow-on to something Telemachos said in another post:

Code:

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:

Code:

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:

Code:

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, 2011

The 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.

Debian :: Kernel That Works, I.e., The 2.6.27 Kernel?

Jun 18, 2010

I'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?

Debian Installation :: New Install Debian As VB Host With Kernel Error

Feb 22, 2010

I'm somewhat familiar with Ubuntu (familiar but not sharp!) but have never tried Debian OS until now. I've installed Debian 5 64bit as a guest on a Mac host. I'm impressed how smooth the install went; even installing VB Guest Additions went smoothly. But, I get a "Your system had a kernel failure" error after booting. I have searched the forum & didn't find this error. Everything seems to work okay but is there an update that isn't showing in the Update Manager? Could this have something to do with VirtualBox 3.1.4?

Debian :: Radeon Xpress 200 Problem On Debian Squeeze - Kernel 2.6.30

Sep 18, 2009

After dist-upgrade a few days ago, X refuses to kick in.

Xorg.0.log reads

Code:

Fatal server error:

no screens found

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org

Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. lshw reads that Xpress 200M is claimed by radeonfb driver.

At this moment, no fglrx packages are installed.

System is Toshiba laptop.

I do not think ATI dropped support, however, even without fglrx, nothing works.

Debian :: Kernel 2.6.26.1 Freezing ?

Jun 4, 2010

I have big problem with my network router with linux freezing.

Motherboard: Intel S5520HC
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5520 2.27GHz

router:~# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.26.1 (root@debian) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP Fri Oct 10 03:51:09 CEST 2008

Avarage utilization only 2-4%. Router performing routing, DHCP server, NAT and shaping for 1000 IP addresses (avg. bandwidth 100Mbps)

This PC freezing once every 2-3 days.

Nothing special in remote syslog but I have bad feelings that the router's time stops before freeze. With cron I ssh (3 times) to router every whole minute and syslog before freeze looks like this:

And freeze. Falling to silicon heaven.
