debian etch kernel bios 177 assit control error

[commentator]

Hi,

Today I installed debian on an IBM pc 300gl.
Works nice except reboot or halt

when the systems starts after running Debian there is an error message
177 security warning assit control

I searched the web and found:
http://www.debianforum.de/forum/view...c6b905e05a349e

After "make menu-config" I changed the processor type to Pentium III.

I installed the home-compiled kernel and I rebooted and rebooted again ... and be sure: the BIOS-error message has vanished at last !

Can try that, so downloaded http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...h-2.6.26.1.bz2

and set it up for PentiumIII then making the kernel
after long waiting boot seems ok, reboot also

but now apt-get doesn't work
failed to resolve
failed to connect

looks like a problem with the dns (bind)
during boot I see:
kernel: warning: `named' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)


How to fix this problem or is there an other kernel to fix the first bios error?

What's the output of

uname -a

? Is your new kernel maybe for 64bit systems while the old one was for 32bit systems?

just selected Pentium III not 64 bit

output is:

Linux router.home 2.6.26.1-custom # 1 SMP Wed Aug 6 10:55:48 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

And the old kernel was 32bit as well?

[commentator]

yes

just clean install (perfect setup in struction)

[falko]

Did you use the old kernel config for building the new one?

[commentator]

yes, instruction from http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_com...on_debian_etch

It seems you need to update libcap or libcap2-dev.

[commentator]

thanks for your reply.

I did upgrade debian from Etch to Lenny.

There is a new kernel in Lenny and now the bios error is gone.
Updated libcap2-dev

bind us working now and apt-get also

still some errors but they are cosmetic as mentioned in the url in your posts
