The disk was partitioned into two: one for swap (1GB as
/dev/hda2) and the rest for everything else (39GB as
/dev/hda1).
The ethernet driver (3c59x) in this release (kernel 2.2.18pre21) does
not support the 3Com 3c905C-TX card. The kernel needed to be upgraded
to a 2.4.6 kernel on a more recent release (e.g., Debian 3.0 woody
beta CD-ROM--see Section 3.7.6 for details of
making a CD-ROM available to apt-get):
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.19
|
The networking began working just fine. In moving to the
unstable release (after a dist-upgrade)
kernel-image-2.4.18-686 was installed without effort (except for
initrd addition to lilo--see
Sections 50.1
and 101.6.5)
Sound card support from the kernel required adding the following line
to /etc/modules.conf (by adding it to
/etc/modutils/sndconfig then running
update-modules:
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
|
A modprobe can then be used to load the module. Refer to
documentation in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/ for
details.
To ensure the module is loaded at boot time add i810_audio to
/etc/modules.
