Warty Backport: Kernel 2.6.10 (19) from Hoary

[jdong]

Wow, Hoary's up to revision 27 now. I'll investigate the changelog, but most likely this will warrant a new backport!

Dear Ubuntu Gurus

just installed Ubuntu yesterday on my Compaq EVO n610c and getting in trouble with the fan not working ... one guy said he resolved this issue by installing 2.6.10 kernel ..


So i tried installing the backport but Synaptic fails with

linux-image-2.6.10-3-686:
Depends: initrd-tools but 0.1.70ubuntu9 is to be installed

but when i check for initrd-tools it says this version is already installed !!!

I encountered the same problem it lies in the repositories you have dedicated and in the difference between the screenreport and the actual depends i think it's a bug in the kernel deb package.:

You need to have initrd-tools (>=0.175ubuntu2) which is in the repository:

http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/ warty-backports-staging main

So include :
deb http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/ warty-backports bleeding
deb http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/ warty-backports-staging main

in your /etc/apt/sources.list and rerun the whole thing. That should do it.

Hi,

after having installed 2.6.10-3-686 I have the problem, that my usb-stick isn't mounted automatically any longer. udev still creates the dev nodes for the usb-stick but than nothing else happens.

When I plug in my CF-memory-Card in my card reader then no event is triggered any longer notifying that the card is plugged in and so no dev nodes are created by udev.

Both things had worked with 2.6.8.
I'm still kind of a linux newbie, so suggestions would be appreciated

Now I had to realize that my usb printer also doesn't work any longer, also it is listed with lsusb

Thanks in advance
Miggy
