Upgrade issues/tips

  • if you are upgrading from an older kernel, make sure you have ethernet/wireless and acpi modules for the new kernel before rebooting. These modules get installed by our installer, but not updated if you install a newer kernel. To fix that do:
    apt-get install atl2-modules-2.6-686 madwifi-eeepc-2.6-686
    apt-get install eeepc-acpi-modules-2.6-686
    For the webcam we do not supply precompiled binary packages, so you have to build them using module-assistant. See [:DebianEeePC/HowTo/Configure] for instructions how to do that.

    Because of a temporary problem caused by the preparation for the switch to kernel version 2.6.25 you have to build the madwifi-eeepc modules the same way. See [:DebianEeePC/HowTo/Configure] for instructions.

  • linux kernel 2.6.24 doesn't need model=3stack-dig anymore, remove it from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
