debian etch kernel bios 177 assit control error

Hi,

Today I installed debian on an IBM pc 300gl.
Works nice except reboot or halt

when the systems starts after running Debian there is an error message
177 security warning assit control

I searched the web and found:
http://www.debianforum.de/forum/vie...start=15&sid=b63355ca27a517f4e8c6b905e05a349e

Can try that, so downloaded http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.26.1.bz2

and set it up for PentiumIII then making the kernel
after long waiting boot seems ok, reboot also

but now apt-get doesn't work
failed to resolve
failed to connect

looks like a problem with the dns (bind)
during boot I see:
kernel: warning: `named' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)


How to fix this problem or is there an other kernel to fix the first bios error?

 

What's the output of

Code:

uname -a

? Is your new kernel maybe for 64bit systems while the old one was for 32bit systems?

 

just selected Pentium III not 64 bit

output is:

Code:

Linux router.home 2.6.26.1-custom # 1 SMP Wed Aug 6 10:55:48 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

 

And the old kernel was 32bit as well?

 

yes

just clean install (perfect setup in struction)

 

Did you use the old kernel config for building the new one?

 

yes, instruction from http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian_etch

It seems you need to update libcap or libcap2-dev.

 

thanks for your reply.

I did upgrade debian from Etch to Lenny.

There is a new kernel in Lenny and now the bios error is gone.
Updated libcap2-dev

bind us working now and apt-get also

still some errors but they are cosmetic as mentioned in the url in your posts
