Installing 2.6.16 kernel on stable

2006-04-27 Thread Carl D. Blake
We're currently running stable on a system, but we discovered that some devices (e.g. sound) aren't recognized with the 2.6.8 kernel. I think these problems would be solved if we could install the 2.6.16 kernel in unstable. Is there a simple way to install 2.6.16 without upgrading a whole bunch o

virtual consoles unresponsive

I've lost the ability to switch virtual consoles on my Woody system. One of the sysadmins logged in as the backup user through the kdm desktop and when he logged out the monitor went dark. Now we can't switch to a virtual console using Ctrl-Alt-Fn, nor can we switch to the kdm desktop with Ctrl-A
