If I were to upgrade kernels, which kernel would you recommend ?
I would try with the backports one, as it's easier to install. If that also fails, I
would compile the latest stable kernel from sources available at kernel's site
(now 3.2.9).
Greetings,
The only one that I could find on my Squeeze backports is
3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae
#apt-get install -s linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae

some packages cannot be installed. This may mean that you have requested
something impossible... etc...
The following information could help you :
The following packages have non satisfied dependances:
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae : depends : linux-base (>=3~) but
2.6.32-41 will have to be installed
Recommends : firmware-linux-free (>=3~) but 2.6.32.41 will have to
be installed
E: Defectuous packages
#
Kernel 2.6.32-41, which I supposedly should install... is the one that
is already running on that system !!
I guess that I will have to do a new kernel compiling from sources and
headers and installation from scratch. But is it safe to try installing
a 3.2 vintage on my system ? Will it take up a lot more RAM ? The only
other 2.6 kernel that I could find is 2.6.33-20 (also to be installed
from scratch). Do you think that it might be safer to test that one
first ? Is this kernel likely to have taken into account the bug that
concerns my PCI wireless card ?
