Installation summary:

  • Debian GNU/Linux Etch (testing)
  • kernel 2.6.17 - Custom build

Base installation

Using Daily Build (I have used this)

Today, dailybuild Debian installer CD has solved SATA & CD problem

Using Debian Installer Etch beta 3 release

Error message: 

No common CD-ROM drive was detected.

SATA driver can block access to CD drive in installations from CD. On systems having a SATA IDE controller that also has the CD drive connected to it, you may see the installer hanging during hardware detection for the CD drive or failing to read the CD just afterwards. A possible reason is that the SATA driver (ata_piix and maybe others) is blocking access to the CD drive. You can try to work around this by booting the installer in expert mode and, in the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step, selecting only the drivers needed for CD support. These are (ide-)generic, ide-cd and isofs. The drivers needed to access the disk will still be loaded, but at a later stage. By loading the CD drivers before the SATA driver in this way, you may be able to complete the installation. Note that CD-ROM access may still be an issue after rebooting into the installed system.

Booting debian netinst from USB drive

The workaround I used is to boot from a USB stick (don't worry you will get your CDROM working later). 

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/\
main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
gzip -dc boot.img.gz >/dev/sdX

Enable USB drive boot from BIOS setup, and then Install Debian base system as usual.

Using kernel boot parameters

(Not checked) You can append libata.atapi_enabled=1 to the install or expert command lines at the boot prompt to get your cdrom detected and then be able to install from it.

Configuration

APT

/etc/apt/sources.list 

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

APT::Default-Release "testing";

Upgrade base system 

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Kernel

Installing Core Duo kernel

apt-get install linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp
reboot

Compiling a custom kernel

Useful if you want to patch the kernel for example to use a splash boot screen 

apt-get install linux-source-2.6.16 libncurses5-dev kernel-package
cd /usr/src
tar jxf linux-source-2.6.16.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-2.6.16
make menuconfig
make-kpkg --initrd --revision gacq01 kernel_image
cd ..
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.16_gacq01_i386.deb

Manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and reboot

NVIDIA

Installing nvidia drivers

Pre-compiled

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-686-smp
apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings

Build your own nvidia driver

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common
cd /usr/src
tar xvzf nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz
cd linux-source-2.6.16
make-kpkg --revision gacq01 modules_image
cd ..
dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.6.16_1.0.8774-1+gacq01_i386.deb
apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings

Wireless interface

1. Downloads

driver from http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ for example 

wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw3945/ipw3945-1.1.0.tgz

ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/ for example 

wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.2.15.tgz

firmware from http://bughost.org/ipw3945/ for example 

wget http://bughost.org/ipw3945/ucode/ipw3945-ucode-1.13.tgz

regulatory daemon from http://bughost.org/ipw3945/ for example 

wget http://bughost.org/ipw3945/daemon/ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz

2. Install some requisites for modules compilation 

apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.16-2-686-smp
apt-get install gcc-4.0

3. Complile and install modules 

tar -zxvf ieee80211-1.2.15.tgz
cd ieee80211-1.2.15
make
make install
cd ..
tar -zxvf ipw3945-1.1.0.tgz
cd ipw3945-1.1.0
make
cd ..
tar zxvf ipw3945-ucode-1.13.tgz
mkdir /usr/local/lib/firmware/
cp ipw3945-ucode-1.13/ipw3945.ucode /usr/local/lib/firmware/
tar zxvf ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz
cp ipw3945d-1.7.22/x86/ipw3945d /sbin/ipw3945d-$(uname -r)
cd ipw3945-1.1.0
cp ipw3945.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
depmod -a

4. /etc/init.d/ipw3945 

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
start)
 echo -n "Load ipw3945:"
   modprobe -i ipw3945
   /sbin/ipw3945d-$(uname -r) --timeout=30
   sleep 2
   echo " done."
;;

stop)
   echo -n "Unloading ipw3945:"
   /sbin/ipw3945d-$(uname -r) --kill
   modprobe -ir ipw3945
   sleep 2
   echo " done."
;;
esac

exit 0

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ipw3945

5. Enable start on boot 

update-rc.d ipw3945 defaults 30

6. /etc/network/interfaces 

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

Notes:

  • If your are planning to use your wireless interface in monitor mode, for example to use kismet, uncomment "CONFIG_IPW3945_MONITOR=y" from the driver Makefile before running make.

Sound card

If you have conflict with the webcam USB microphone you can use this configuration in /etc/modprobe.d/sound 

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1

Modem (Not tested)

Driver

These are NOT free, however - an uncrippled version will set you back USD 19.99, the free ones only support 14k4 :-( 

dpkg -i hsfmodem_{version}_{arch}.deb
if necessary, run "hsfconfig" to complete the installation, enter license information, or to change your modem's configuration.
