I have a question about how best to divide things up in the new setup.
I'm thinking to replace this IDE drive with two SATA HDs. One as small
as I can get. Say 100GB or so and make that the boot drive. And a second
HD say 500GB or so and moving the LVM over to that.
Would it be better to m
I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that the
installer does not recognize existing partitions already on the hard
disk? Or are
you saying that it won't let you create more than five partitions during
installation? Or are you saying that only five different mount points
Stephen,
I did nothing about your last email because I didn't see it until after I
had made the last change, but, yes, the last Lenny install was to the 8400
with a different audio card. Now the 8400 has Windows 7 Ultimate on it
with the original Creative SB Live! audio card and the origin

Tony,
You said there was an ATA limit of 16 partitons on Lenny, but the HD on
the Dimension 8400 is a SATA. Does that make a difference?

But the Dell has SATA, does that make a difference in the number of
partitions?

Just finished installing Lenny on my Fujitsu which has on-board sound;
alsamixer says: PCM (100), Surround (MM), Center (MM), LFE (MM), Side

I have been installing Debian with multiple primary partitions since

It was never a question of Debian creating more than one primary
partition. I've known that since Potato.

The standard pc partition scheme allows either four primary partitions

Stephen,
In that case, are you sure I can't talk you into trying a newer kernel
from backports? Granted, your sound card is old enough to be supported
by the

there isn't a bug somewhere. I've seen a couple of other "no s

Sorry, again. I haven't much experience with the list, so I don't know

Stephen,
I was going to suggest trying a different sound card on your existing
system. But it's your call.
That is a good idea. I'll look to see what I have. Am I right to assume
that the installation will have to be repeated in order to get the sound
card recognized and configured?

Stephen,
I get silence when trying to play a .wav file with aplay. No error
messages, just says "Playing WAVE 'Track1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little

than 2008. I've had the system for at least two years myself and Dell

Aptitude was updated; the alsa-firmware-loaders installed; dpkg

Excuse me, I did not complete the assignment last time, alsa-utils and

Thanks, Stephen. I've made several mistakes: was in Krusader when I
double-clicked "blacklist"; assumed that SU-ing in a terminal rendered all
that follows as root activity. So, I opened a terminal; SU'd; CD'd to
/etc/modprobe.d; issued the command "nano local"; typed in the line:

How would I find out if something else is wrong with the installation?
I've gone through the "Testing" section of your page to no avail.
Alsamixer on this machine does not have any settings for CD, FM, nor DSP.
It has IEC958 C,F,R; Analog C,F,R,S and Capture. I set them all for 100%
