Patches
|
| 5 |
-------
|
| 6 |
Debian applies various changes to the kernel source. These are split up
|
| 7 |
into small patches addressing individual problems. Each of the patch files
|
| 8 |
contains a description and mentions the author. The patches can be found
|
| 9 |
at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/tags/kernel/source/.
|

|
| 11 |
Config Files
|
| 12 |
------------
|
| 13 |
The .config files used to build the various linux-image files are dynamically
|
| 14 |
generated during the linux-2.6 package build. See the source package for
|
| 15 |
details. Each linux-image-* package provides the complete .config file that
|
| 16 |
was used to generate it. This file is installed in /boot.

Rebuilding Adaptec AIC7xxx/79xx firmware
|
| 19 |
----------------------------------------
|
| 20 |
You can rebuild the firmware for the Adaptec AIC7xxx/79xx SCSI Adapters. To
|
| 21 |
do so you need to set AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE/AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE config
|
| 22 |
options. Note that this requires to have the development packages for
|
| 23 |
berkelydb (libdb4.2-dev) installed.
|

|
| 25 |
PS/2 Mice
|
| 26 |
---------
|
| 27 |
If your PS/2 mouse does not work, make sure that the modules psmouse and
|
| 28 |
mousedev are loaded.

AMD 768 erratum 10
|
| 31 |
------------------
|
| 32 |
If you have a motherboard with the AMD 768 chipset, and you are experiencing
|
| 33 |
IDE errors or lock ups, then you should either connect a PS/2 mouse to the
|
| 34 |
system or disable APIC. Refer to the following link for details:

mem= on 2.4.19 and later
|
| 39 |
------------------------
|
| 40 |
mem=xxxM can no longer be used to enlarge the RAM that the kernel uses.
|
| 41 |
You must specify the exact memory map. For example, Compaq Proliant users
|
| 42 |
can specify mem=48M@16M if they have 64M of memory.
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
IDE bswap option
|
| 45 |
----------------
|
| 46 |
The bswap option is obsolete and may disappear in future. For the moment
|
| 47 |
it does work provided that you disable dma with the nodma option.
