Hi all. What is the kernel version of Debian 3.1r4?

Thanks
Maurizio1230

P.S. I ask this because i must install the eciadsl driver:
# <= 2.4.17: NOT recommended with EciAdsl
# OK 2.4.18 to 2.4.27: OK
# OK 2.4.28 to 2.4.30: you have to patch it, see link above
# OK 2.4.31: OK
# ?? 2.4.32 to 2.4.34: unknown status
# OK 2.6.0 to 2.6.6: you have to patch it, read instructions about this patch
# KO 2.6.7 to 2.6.8: NOT recommended with EciAdsl (unstable)
# OK 2.6.9 to 2.6.16.28: OK
# KO 2.6.17.1 to 2.6.17.7: NOT recommended with EciAdsl (uhci bug in kernel)
# OK 2.6.17.8 to 2.6.17.14: OK
# KO 2.6.18 to 2.6.19.x: FAILED to synchronize

2.6.8
but the "uname -r" command tell you the version of you currently running kernel

[Maurizio1230]

2.6.8 i can't install the eciadsl driver
# KO 2.6.7 to 2.6.8: NOT recommended with EciAdsl (unstable)

ohh nooooo

[iwanabeguru]

compile a new kernel

wait a min. Maurizio1230 run uname -r to check what kernel you have. You may have have 2.4 something (2.4 is still default in Sarge, 2.6 is optional).

wait have not installed it yet? In that case, if you hit enter at the boot screen of the install disk, it will install 2.4.27. If you type linux26, it will install 2.6.8

[Maurizio1230]

greatttt. Therefore when i install debian 3.1r4 I must hit enter at the boot screen.

P.S. Is this the correct addres of dvd debian http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/.../i386/iso-dvd/?

[Vergil83]

yes, that looks correct

[Maurizio1230]

ok. I install the kernel 2.4.27-2-386 with enter.
But i have a big problem: i don't see the desktop
I see only something like shell.

How can i see a beautiful desktop?

Thanks for your support
