There is still one thing that does not work which is the SD internal reader<br>
card. At boot time, it hangs up if there was a SD card plugged in the reader. After<br>
reading some posts here and there on the web, I looked on the BIOS but the OS<br>
was already flagged as Installed, some posts say this issue rose when the OS is<br>
set to setup in the BIOS. So I do re-save the bios settings without changing<br>
anything, it does not alt anymore, but I'm still having the error when dmesg<br>
and the SD reader does not work.<br>
I did some searches on the web & found a kernel bug called last_sector_bug<br>
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.26-git16.log" target="_blank">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.26-git16.log</a><br>
(search for eeepc and you'll find it). Some friends of mine told me it's easy<br>
to compile kernel, just pick the config file from /boot, then download kernel<br>
sources, make, add grub entry and that's it. Quite naively I found a debian<br>
tutorial to compile the kernel and follow it, I pick the last 2.6.28 one (to<br>
replace my 2.6.26.1-686). It compiled nice, I don't understand the config file<br>
which seems to be much more complete that the need of my eeePC 701. Then I<br>
added the grub entry and try to boot on the newly compiled kernel, but I've got<br>
an error of file format. The new kernel is four times the size of the current<br>
one?<br>
<br>
Do you know if there a simple way to fix this SD bug, if there was somebody<br>
kind enough to post an url to a fixed kernel that I could download and install?<br>
Or do you know some links that could help?</blockquote><div><br>Look for the debian trunk kernels on <a href="http://wiki.debian.org">wiki.debian.org</a>, and install the
sid kernel. I am running fine with linux-image-2.6.28-1-686.<br>
<br>
Please keep in mind that you may have to upgrade eeepc-acpi-scripts and maybe tweak wifi config. Most of it is in the wiki.<br><br>[],<br><br>Pedro<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
