I did download http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64_2.6.30-6_amd64.deb

and then dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64_2.6.30-6_amd64.deb

since the repository you gave us seems to be dead.

I added
kopt=hpet=disable
to /boot/grub/menu.lst

however, it does not work

any other hint?

Thank you very much

Diego

hey brendan! you can always rebuild the fai kernel i think i have made some doco in the wiki before i left, or it just a matter to take the old kernel config

I have a dell r610 server and my etch or lenny fai doesn’t support the gigabit cards in that. What do you suggest for an fai build? as it needs networking for an fai install.

That works! But I confirm that there’s no need to run update-grub.
Tested with kernel 2.6.30:

Why have you to run update-grub? That’s sounds old good Lilo requirement to me

[...] So if you get that shiny new Dell desktop and ACPI spit bunch of message at the install time and the network driver does not get detected you can follow these steps to have it working. More here [...]
