Hey, I am on a dell inspiron 6000, i installed debian base system from the sarge netinstall disk. After a lot of playing around i finally got the kernel 2.6.13 to boot up. I then started to try and get X up and running, so after reading up i decided to go with Ubuntu's Xorg, so i added the Ubuntu hoary lines in apt and then i installed xorg and the basic xwindow system stuff.
Now here is where it gets tricky, Everything was fine up untill this point. I rebooted and the system started no problem, although the x server was not working properly yet.
Next i tried to apt-get install gnome... it gave me dependency errors, so i went over to dselect and selected gnome and accepeted the suggested packages that gnome depended on.
All of these installed no problems, but when i rebooted it hangs at:
Starting MTA:
Now, i booted into the 2.4 kernel, no problem, went into /ete/init.d and took out the exim4 file and then tried to go back to 2.6.13 and this time it hung at:
Starting print spooler: lds
So yeah... i have no idea what is going on, if anybody can help me out it would be great.
