[OT] Booting from USB

Hello, all. This is off-topic because I'm not asking how to create a Debian boot stick. There seem to be good how-to documents for that. However, we are thinking of creating a large number of Debian boot sticks and neither I nor may staff have any experience using them and we have a limited numbe

Quoth green at 2009-03-14 03:28... Also, you may want to try using the Debian linux-image-2.6.24 package¹. I think it corresponds to 2.6.24.7, so if it works you should be able to install linux-source-2.6.24², patch that source with the realtime patches, and then use make-kpkg in the kernel-pa

Quoth green at 2009-03-14 03:28... If the stock Debian kernel works, have you tried using that config for your kernel? This is something that I have avoided as I have read in various places that there are often incompatible changes between minor versions (like from 2.6.18 to 2.6.24). This also

Hi Mike Out of curiosity, how do your lockups manifest themselves? Do you get a flashing CAPS-LOCK light, perchance? What you are seeing is a kernel panic. If you want to debug that, Google for "magic sysrq" - it should get you on the right track. (It's a kernel configuration option that

Hi Just to give a little background, after 3 years of running Gentoo (and SuSE previously,) I have given up due to the impossible maintenance burden and am migrating back to a binary distribution. Having sworn off RPMs for life, I have chosen Debian as the most mature and mainstream distro.

Problem booting from USB floppy

Hi all, I'm having problems booting from a USB floppy. My BIOS supports USB floppy boot (thinkpad X20), so I can boot a kernel from floppy no problem. Since the USB storage devices work using some sort of SCSI emulation, I have replaced the original kernel image on my boot disk with one that
