The problem seems to be solved updating the kernel. It is easy to do:


I added to /etc/apt/sources.list the following line:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free

, then connected to internet and did:

# apt-get update

# apt-get -t etch-backports install linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.3-686

Now, the command `$ls /boot' got the following output:

config-2.6.26-1-686 initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686.bak vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686
config-2.6.32-bpo.3-686 initrd.img-2.6.32-bpo.3-686 vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.3-686
grub System.map-2.6.26-1-686
initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 System.map-2.6.32-bpo.3-686

, and in /boot/grub/menu.lst the new kernel was already listed. Then I
rebooted.


Bye,
Rodolfo
