 Want a good laugh? 'Linux' problem ;-) Hello, My Dell Precision 410 won't boot 2.6.X smp kernel. I have a Precision 410 with dual 750MHz PIIIs. 1 Gig RAM, 200 Gig Seagate HD, older ATI video card (Rage I believe). I installed Deb Sarge with a 2.4.X smp kernel. Worked great and was very fast. Well I put in the larger drive and wanted to install Debian again to use as my main system. It seems MUCH faster than my 2800 Sempron, 512 Meg, ECS KT-600A MB. May just be the extra memory. Anyway, I wanted to play with the 2.6 kernel so I used linux26 at the boot prompt. Installed the base system. Even the network was detected. It works great and was very snappy. No X server installed yet. Just cli. I did an apt-get dist-upgrade and then installed the smp kernel. No error messages. The machine was running fine. When I rebooted to use the smp kernel it stopped at "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel". Just froze there. I rebooted back to the non-smp 2.6.X kernel and it worked great. I turned off the built in SCSI and same thing. I read through google to turn off acpi in the bios. Done-still won't boot with any of the 2.6 smp kernels. It worked great with the 2.4 smp kernel I had on it earlier. Here's the funny part. I played with this thing for quite a while (2-3 hours) a couple nights ago. Installed a couple of 2.6.X smp kernels and tried them and removed and reinstalled them and tried again. Then today I was typing a message to this newsgroup to ask for some help. I was gathering data for my post and I wanted to give the kernel versions I tried. I went to debian.org and got the version numbers of the 2.6.X smp kernels. Let's see one of the kernels I installed was kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7-smp........ Oh shoot?! I didn't....... can't........dam#%$ Anyway, most anyone can see what I did already. I installed an AMD kernel in my Intel machine. Actually I installed a few AMD kernels on my machine. ;-) I'm awake now. I can't believe I did that. Just thought someone would get a kick out of it. I had a 30Gig HD in this machine that I put Debian 2.4.X-smp kernel on the first time. Worked like a charm. I erased it to play with FreeBSIE. I installed that and wanted to play with FreeBSD for a while. I guess I'm either hooked or too lazy to want to learn a new os. I just can't get over how easy Debian is when you know very little. I put my large HD in and am staying with Debian. BTW: It boots quickly now with a 686-smp kernel. Steve      |

I don't read the posts of people that hide their posting histories by using common names for aliases. For the newbies: You need to use a unique alias if you don't want people to suspect that you are a troll. It's easy. Just go to: http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search and plug choices into the Author box until you come up with one that returns no hits. -------- Author "Steve": Results 1 - 100 of 389,000 posts in the last year. Right. -------- Make it your own by using it exclusively. (email addresses change all the time, so don't include that as a part of your alias) AC -- Homepage: http://home.earthlink.net/~alanconnor/ Fanclub: http://www.pearlgates.net/nanae/kooks/alanconnor.shtml |

Your post, and any responses to it, go unread, and this alias of yours was killscored quite some time ago. You are out of your league, obnoxious child. You'll have to do better than kindergarden sockpuppets if you want to get me to read your garbage. (and, of course, you _can't_ do any better than kindergarden sockpupets :-) I can check the posting history of any alias with a single keystroke (details in slrn directory on my website). Just for starters. Trolls are ignorant, obnoxious, motor-mouthed juvenile delinquents (of whatever age) who think they are an expert in everything and who run around the Usenet posting under (hiding behind) numerous aliases. With their Mommy's computer and their Daddy's credit card, they spend their lives polluting the Usenet. (In many cases, substitute "government checks" for "Mommy and Daddy". Same thing.)
