Problems with earlier Debian versions

About Debian's old version-Debian, the Linux release technology. For more information, see the following. Original: gddark

I don't know what to think. I got Debian Etch to install it on my new server. As we all know, many Etch kernel 2.6.18 support is not very good, so this article appears.

Hardware: IDE pioneer DVD burning, 2 GB single DDRII800 memory, Huawei 8168 GB board integrated Realtek Nic

Question 1.
DHCP fails when the system is installed and the network card cannot be identified. Temporarily manually configured
If there are no other problems, the installation is successfully completed, and I don't know why. I also recognized 2 GB of memory. I didn't even recognize lenny installed the other day. I 'd like to compile it myself!

Question 2.
Restart to enter the system, the NIC is still useless, and then find that the optical drive does not recognize it !.

Update initrd
Update-initramfs-u
Restart to identify the optical drive.

Solve Problem 1, Nic.
Enter XP to drive down

Mount windows Partitions In Debian
Mount-t ntfs/dev/sda5/media/sda5 (of course, you may be an old fat Haha,/media/sda5 self-created)
Copy the driver. Don't ask where I put it or where I love it.
(Note: ordinary users who are mounted using ntfs do not seem to have the permission, so su has passed)
Decompress the package and follow the readme prompt step by step.

Su-root
Rmmod r8169
Make clean modules
Make install
Depmod-
Insmod./src/r8168.ko
Ifconfig eth0 up

Of course, you can change the eth0 configuration in/etc/network/interfaces at this time. DHPC can be used.

Do not forget to update initrd.
Or
Update-initramfs-u

[Why do I need to update this step with Question 2? Because I did not select any software package during installation,
Therefore, there is no environment for compilation. So you can only get the optical drive.

Last everything OK

And finally.
After I installed a bunch of messy things,
I found that the amd64 system I installed has been using a common 32-bit source!
The official one in ND sources. list is the same as that in 32. I think there is no difference.
It is reflected only when the flash plug-in is installed. 64-bit is rarely used.
