Hi, I enjoy playing with sid :) I just updated to the latest sid on my Averatec Laptop 3250 running amd processor
which worked fine before. Now when I boot all is fine, i can surf web using lynx if i stay in console mode. Then when i startx (i have tried it with kde, gnome, xfce4-session session managers) and immediately I get kernel errors and then i no longer can use the network. I am connected by ethernet cable to my local network via eth0 .... Here are two examples of the the tail of dmesg for two different kernels: (only stuff that happens after the startx is invoked) : here is dmesg using kernel 2.6.17-2-k7 dmesg|tail *********** Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
