Patience is usually optional. (laugh) However, you can be confident that if you are in the wrong place someone will come along to tell you, they might even yell at you for it. > I have following problm. > I've recently installed a debian prebuild kernel 2.6.26.5 on my DELL > D520 (Centrino Duo Core 2 with 2GB RAM). As above, is this your Kubuntu installation that you are talking about? If so, my question would be why have you chosen to install a Debian prebuild kernel? Kubuntu is based on Debian (the unstable branch) but that does not necessarily mean you can mix and match (mix together) packages from both. I don't know specifically if there is any difference that might cause the symptoms you're experiencing but that would be one of the things I would consider first. If you're using Kubuntu, it would probably be more productive to try with a prebuilt (and properly configured for the OS) Kubuntu kernel package. Once again, I have not looked at the .configs to see if there are differences but a .config for a Debian kernel *might* be different from a Kubuntu kernel. Naturally, if this is not a Kubuntu install that you are posting about, ignore my reply but if it is, then that should probably be mentioned along with the system specs and kernel version which you did post. I agree with poster Jim Carter, the kernel furnished with your distro should have the ATA support that you are trying to get. Perhaps there is some other issue which we have not yet explored. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-laptop" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
