Yes that did the job; thanks for the tip.

Well this is what I'm thinking based on the apparent lack of any IDE
goodness in the dmesg log. If that is the case:

Is there any reason to think the UUID version will work any better than
labels ? If I have the labels method working fine with 2.6.18, why
would they not work with 2.6.26
I have an old dual-P3 Intel STL2 motherboard has been running Etch no
problem (2.6.18 kernel) for ages.
It has an IDE drive (root filesystem and swap, and it boots off it)
(/dev/hda on Etch) and a CD-ROM on the single IDE connector on the
motherboard, and a couple of big SATA drives hanging of some

Aha: cracked it...
The system had set itself up to use the DRI i915 drivers for the
onscreen OpenGL, but doing
aptitude install
I'm on a fairly fresh and up-to-date Debian/Lenny install
on a Thinkpad X40.
If I run some OpenGL code in an "OSMesa" context,
glGetString(GL_VERSION) returns "2.1 Mesa 7.0.4", and
glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) shows various "shader" extensions,

Having switched to "nv" from "nvidia" myself recently (see other

difference between them. Of course if you're running 3

I have a Nvidia FX 5200 in an Asus P4S533-E mobo (AGP) and
I've been wondering about the stability of the Nvidia drivers too.

After a successful upgrade to etch, I'm looking at the shiny new

The package search at debian.org doesn't list evolution as being
available for testing (only 1.0.5 in stable and 1.4.5-3 in unstable),

apt-get install evolution
on my testing box (which grabs the 1.0.5 version).
