1. Update your /etc/apt/sources.list to include the backports
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main non-free contrib2.
sudo apt-get update3.
sudo apt-get -t squeeze-backports install linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae linux-headers-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae...or linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 if you have that :)
4. say yes if you're sure you want to add the additional packages.
5. don't walk away...you need to press the OK button for something and quit a section on non-free stuff.
6. reboot and hopefully you'll have a new list in grub and then boot'er up! wheeeeeeeeze!
I get a message part way through that talks about cciss and hpsa and it won't let me continue the process. Did you have the same problem, and do you know how to circumvent it?
ReplyDeleteCan you post the message it gives?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't run into that problem.
I faced the similiar problem, the message is:-
ReplyDelete------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Some HP Smart Array controllers are now handled by the new 'hpsa'
driver, rather than the 'cciss' driver.
While the cciss driver presented disk device names beginning with
'cciss/', hpsa makes disk arrays appear as ordinary SCSI disks and
presents device names beginning with 'sd'. In a system that already
has other SCSI or SCSI-like devices, names may change unpredictably.
During the upgrade from earlier versions, you will be prompted to
update configuration files which refer to device names that may
change. You can choose to do this yourself or to follow an automatic
upgrade process. All changed configuration files are backed up with
a suffix of '.old' (or '^old' in one case).
