Mar 16, 2010I installed Squeeze, it had kernel 2.6.30-2-686,it was upgraded to 2.6.32-trunk-686,now it is 2.6.32-3-686.What does the -trunk- mean?

View 4 RepliesI upgraded testing today on my intel laptop. During the upgrade I got the message that the new kernel would require additional firmware, see attached. Is the solution for this to install the driver from Realtek? [URL] If so, the instructions said to check if the driver was already installed, but what does the output below mean?

I'm attempting to install ndiswrapper-dkms package. The installation fails due to the following error:Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. dpkg reports that the source is installed

I've been searching google for the past couple of days but haven't found anything specific. Any ideas to get me going in the right direction?
uname -a reports
Linux debtop 2.6.32-trunk-686 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 06:32:16 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
I installed linux-image-4.1.0-trunk, when I boot into the kernel there's no wireless available. Dmesg indicates seems like the firmware is loaded, although firmware-iwlwifi is installed:
...
[ 11.047031] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: firmware: failed to load iwlwifi-7265D-13.ucode (-2)
[ 11.047039] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-13.ucode failed with error -2
My problem is that it won't load the dkms module and Virtualbox will not run.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm always getting a blank console screen after booting a 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 kernel in squeeze. I still can read the line "Loading, please wait ..." in the display for a second - then it's completely black until X windows is starting. When I try switching from the X console to another virtual console (by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 e. g.), the complete system freezes. I have to hard reboot then.When I boot the previous 2.6.32-3-amd64 kernel instead, everything is fine as expected, though.There's a line "GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x16@60" in /etc/default/grub as well as a line "set gfxpayload=keep" in /etc/grub.d/00_header. So the problem might be framebuffer related in any way. Any ideas what could be tried?The system is a Latitude E6500 with a Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller

I have recompiled QT 4.6.2 and it's working ok, I got the same errors with 4.5.1. Version is Slackware64-13.0 with some upgraded dependencies like taglib.
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

This is only for Lucid and Maverick, as there's no 0.8.1 builds for other releases in this ppa. Why?
Because today there seems to be a fuss about 3g usb-modems. And as of network-manager version 0.8.1, there is added support for those and some more.
The release features for current version 0.8.1, from gnome.org
Lucid ships with an earlier version and there's a ppa for daily builds (that could break, so use it on need-only-basis).
Visit the link, or google: NetworkManager daily trunk builds for ubuntu
Follow the steps on the site to add it in the repositories.
After that, it's just a simple
Code:
apt will update the needed files. Then reboot, you're done.
I strongly recommend, that you disable the PIN code query for your SIM card and enable 'Connect automatically' from:
As this seems to be more reliable than connecting/reconnecting manually from the applet list. After that, it's plug&play.
I use the modem Huawei E1820 (uses option1 driver) and for me, this update...
- gives you the ability to choose the desired network; 3G only, 3G pref., EDGE etc.
- Then it shows the signal strength and the technology used atm.; HSPA, UMTS etc.
And the main reason I installed it, bluetooth DUN support. So far it has been working great with Lucid on 32bit architecture, and I don't have to disconnect the modem between boots, or after suspend/resume.
I recently installed debian squeeze 32bit on a second partition of my amd athlon 64 X2 dual core machine.Currently it is using linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 kernel.But linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 is available.on the repository.Is it a 64bit kernel or 32bit kernel optimized for amd64 architecture?

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:
Code:
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?
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.
I am using DEBIAN 6.0 and I wannna update my kernel from 2.6.32 to 2.6.38. Every time, I do it but after the installation & rebooting into the new kernel it gives me error "UNABLE TO BOOT INTO THE KERNEL".

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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?
I have rtl8187se linux driver, during installation in debian linux it tells that "the kernel is not a generic". How can i install this driver in default debian kernel (without generic)?
