Hello, i have new hardware in my pc. Therefore exists new problems. The graphiccard will not work correctly.
HW: CPU:AMD Athlon64 4000+ Mainboard:Asus A8R-MVP HDD: 160GB SATA graficcard: Sapphire Radeon X1900GT (ATI) PCIe OS: Debian/Sarge actually using kernel 2.6.18.2-amd64 want to use kernel 2.6.20 Xserver: Xfree86-4.3.0 For using this hw with Debian/Sarge, i have to use a Sarge-costum-BootCD, which is using the kernel 2.6.18-2-amd64 Other Debian/Sarge products wouldn't work with the SATA controller on board. After installing Debian/Sarge with kernel 2.6.18-2 i want to use KDE, but the graficcard is unknown for this version. Therefore, i want to use the actually ati driver 8.33.6. But it is not able to install this driver on this operating system. During in the installation, it stopps without any hints. I think, it could be the wrong kernel, which i am now using. Downloading the new kernel from kernel.org, compiling and installing are without any errors. Now, if i use this kernel after restart the system can't be running. Systemboot stopps on using RAMDISK. Change in the /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf the MKIMAGE from CRAMFS to genromfs. New installing, same error: RAMDISK: romfs filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: loading 13428KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done. No filesystem could mount root, tried: cramfs kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) 1. How can i compile and install the new kernel? 2. it is possible to use the ati driver for the old kernel and how does it fit? br Tobias --------------= Posted using GrabIt =---------------- ------= Binary Usenet downloading made easy =--------- -= Get GrabIt for free from http://www.shemes.com/ =- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
