I am looking for a walkthrough or howto to upgrade the kernel on my mac mini debian system. It currently has a vanilla install of Debian Sarge 3.1 kernel 2.6.8 I need to upgrade the kernel to provide audio hardware support. I have tried to install a kernel that is prepackaged from ppckernel.org but I am unable to make it boot properly. The kernel gets scared, and cannot mount a partition (3,3) I believe I am not configuring yaboot properly. Any help is greatly appreciated.
PPC Architecture You would like to have sound, but debian is messed up.... I am using alsa-driver-1.0.10 (open source) to enable sound [im working on it]. If you have problems upgrading the kernel, i highly suggest that you go and read these two walkthroughs. http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Linux_with_yum.html (gives hints) www.howtoforge.com/coldfusion_installation_debian_sarge
