Seem to get this read out in kernel.log. with ACPI:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


there is this page that tels me how to install
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/download.html and
have found a dstl.dsl for my labtop

i WAS think of following the howto
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21

Thinking of this#


source installed but not complied
as per your howto above

go to the download http://acpi.sourceforge.net/download.html
do
cd <path to unpacked linux sources> (e.g. /usr/src/linux)
$ bunzip2 -c <path to acpi-patch>/acpi-<version>.diff.bz2 | patch -p1 OR
$ gunzip -c <path to acpi-patch>/acpi-<version>.diff.gz | patch -p1





go back to howto forge page making the source


its only a idea to fix my ACPI problem
which does not let me reboot on my labtop


also not sure if it also effects xen install

If you have Xen installed, you can't compile your kernel as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21 ! If you do it, you'll lose the Xen patches...

[qiu]

thats the thing do i have xen installed?

if you see the last url in the last post I still have a problem
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...?t=3687&page=2

I think it may be better to concentrate on xen rather than other
issues


one of the most confusing things that really got me thinking
was that you told me the start from page 3 again in the
xen howto and I asked should i download the suorce file
again . to which you replied there was no need.

looking inside the xen folder i find directories as folows

I have started from page3 of the howto twice with the same xen 3.0,1 directory and get the same error messages

update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
and
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20

update-rc.d: etc/init.d/xen file does not exist
same for xendomains files does not exist.

Unless you deleted the Xen sources, there's no need to download them again. Of course, you must know where you saved them.

[qiu]

Falko!

The only folder in usr/src is xen 3.0.1 you can see the ls -la in my last post.

I did the install according to the howto with careful attention to detail however I am
still in a postition with the same error message as you see in my last post.

So I am wondering how to proceed.



qiu

ps; I notice that if you download from xen from the link in the howto they seem to have updated the source file to 3.0.2

[falko]

Please do this:

cd /usr/src
rm -fr xen-3.0.1
tar -xvzf xen-3.0.1-src.tgz
cd xen-3.0.1/
make world

and then do all the other steps from page 3.

[qiu]

Tried your suggestion.

I thought this time it took longer to complete and felt iy would work
but same error message as first and second time.

update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
and
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20

update-rc.d: etc/init.d/xen file does not exist
same for xendomains files does not exist.

Then there must be another problem. I suggest you try the Xen tutorial again from the beginning (the best would be to do it on a freshly-installed Debian), and please make sure you follow it to the letter and don't make any typos.

[qiu]

reinstalled debian forom stratch followed howto to letter same error.

Please make sure you copy & paste the commands from the tutorial. I guess you made a typo somewhere.
