[64studio-devel] More regarding Studio 64 on a macbook

[Denis Crowdy]

Hi all,

Because I couldn't get the network working with the 64 bit kernel, I  
tried the 32 bit installer as there are debian packages for madwifi  
to get the wireless going and refit to help with the booting process.

When I try and install the madwifi packages using the modules  
assistant, however, it fails, complaining that the kernel was  
compiled with gcc-4.0.  I can't seem to get a gcc-4.0 in debian  
testing though.

Bottom line I want to get networking up as first priority.  Any other  
clues as to how I might get another kernel running? 2.6.16 with the  
installer recognises the network cards fine - 2.6.17 recognises the  
ethernet card, but fails.  At the moment what I can do is boot with  
the installer CD in rescue mode, then chroot to /target and apt-get  
stuff from there.  Could I try the apt-getting the 64 studio packages  
from the apt.studio64.com repository perhaps with an apt-get dist- 
upgrade?

Thanks,

Denis
