Revision as of 23:19, 14 April 2010

Before the installation

I used the Debian Squeze D-I Alpha 1 (built on the 22.03.2010) from USB, as I do not have a CD/DVD-ROM. The installer boots fine (in contrast to the Lenny one, which cries with kernel oopses), but can't bring up the network card. This was ok for me, YMMV.

Installation

Boot CD/USB, install. No special hacks needed (ncurses installer, didn't try the GTK one).

Hardware support

The installer installed linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64, but I am running linux-image-2.6.33-2-amd64 from experimental and a self built 2.6.34-rc4.

Hardware works with 2.6.32 works with 2.6.33 works with 2.6.34-rc4 driver notes
