Just bought a new machine (Athlon 64 2800, Jetway K8M8MS motherboard, Geforce FX 5500 128mb, and a 17" LCD screen) Installed Debian sarge (2.6.8-1-386) no problem, and will over the next few weeks migrate more and more of my work to this machine. Problem This machine sounds and feels like I have an electric heater going on the whole time. And I want to be able (in the same as windows) to send the machine into sleep / hibernation after say 10 or 15 minutes of inactivity. From what I read yesterday, I need to: a) Upgrade the kernel (2.6.11.7 is the latest stable one I found) and build in support for the athlon chip b) Run "athcool" or a similar program, that will enable apic I have found the kernel, I have downloaded it, and I can run make menuconfig (but not xconfig..each time I do I get a demand that it wants the QT libraries, and not gconfig - forgot the reasons for that) But rather than going through the entire kernel and setting it up from scratch, I thought it would make a lot more sense to Load an Alternate Configuration file and then amend the settings in my current kernel. Question Where can I find the existing kernel configuration (2.6.8-1-386)? Are there any recommendations that people would offer?
