Hi,
If you are using potato you need the two following entries in your sources.list deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
For woody you need the following # deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free # deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/testing/non-US/main/binary-$(ARCH)/ deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/testing/non-US/main/source/# deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/testing/non-US/contrib/binary-$(ARCH)/ deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/testing/non-US/contrib/source/ # deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/testing/non-US/non-free/binary-$(ARCH)/ deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/testing/non-US/non-free/source/ #
First update your system before ionstallnig 2.4.*
Best regards

Hello,
I am a french guy living in Lille and using/practising Linux for 6ish years. Please could you Cc me any answer. thanks a lot.
I had a -long- look in the mailing list archives but couldn't find an answer to the following question:
[Short] I boot 2.2.19 kernels without any problems but can't boot any 2.4.17 neither a 2.5.1.
[Details] I have a PC Packard-Bell imédia6007a - AMD Athlon 1.4GHz - Motherboard "Explorer" from Packard-Bell - Chipset VIA KM133: VT8365A Northbridge (AGP,PCI) and VT686B Southbridge (IDE,USB) (BIOS recently upgraded) - ATIRadeonVE 32MB - Debian GNU/Linux Woody (non-official isos from 20/07/2001) with XFree86 upgraded from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0 (xfree86-common, xserver-common, xserver-xfree86) for radeon support.
Firstly, I want a 2.4.x kernel for the sound (alsa), the framebuffer and the dri (I'd like to be able to play tuxracer ;o)
I boot my system with grub and there is no problem for the 2.2.19 kernel packaged with the woody neither for the lighter one I compiled myself from the debian packaged sources.
However, I hadn't any success booting a 2.4.17 kernel; I hadn't tried every possibility but I tried: - a 2.4.13 kernel compiled from the "generic" (I mean not the debian package, see below) sources. - the kernel-image-2.4.17-k7_2.4.17-1_i386.deb debian package. - many kernels compiled from kernel-source-2.4.17_2.4.17-1_all.deb debian package. - a few kernels compiled from the 2.4.17 "generic" sources. - a 2.5.1 kernel compiled from the "generic" sources (non patched).
I tried to compile for Athlon, PentiumPro, 386 -> same behavior I tried with/out initrd support -> same behavior I tried "mem=nopentium" boot option related to the radeon -> same behavior I also tried lilo and boot disks both for grub and lilo -> same behavior
please help ! thanks a million.
