Yes. The installation cd is a 64-bit live cd, so you can use that. The steps should be the same as what I indicated above. I think you can press ctrl-alt-f2/3/4/5/6 to open a console from the installer.

?????
The dfsg (Debian Free Software Guidelines) is a document, not a program. You can read it at http://www.debian.org/social_contract
Maybe you mean dpkg? No, dpkg does not allow any type of search (only aptitude can do that from the command line). It only installs a package file (you need the actual file, it cant download it). This should work.

The most recent amd64 kernel for etch is 2.6.18, the filename is linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64_2.6.18.dfsg.1-17_amd64.deb , you can download it here, it should also be on the cd (but the cd might have an older version if 2.6.18-5 was released after etch).

Before chrooting to your system, copy the package file to it (e.g. to /tmp). Then, install it with

put your install disk in and press F2 or F3 what ever it asks for then do a rescue boot install your kernel. grub is looking in /boot/ your kernel but you uninstalled it.and actually grub is looing for /boot vmlinuz and a initrd.image. good luck you could actually do this manualy with a live cd.

Yes, I meant dpkg (not dfsg).

Tonight I should try to boot my PC from my Debian CD
and try to install Linux-AMD64 kernel by using the Debian 'rescue' utility

Now I have try to boot on the Debian CD and "push" F2 or F3.
I came to a boot prompt
>boot:
I use the command
>boot: rescuegui

The I get the grub installed, but not the kernel !!?!
Then I try the command
>boot: expertgui
I start the "expert"-installation but I have feeling this is not the right way, so abort it.
What shold I do now ?
I have a extra external empty usb harddisk.
Maybe I should this to install Debian on and then use the
chroot ....?!

I starting to be very confused over what I should do now.....?!)(*

If want to use the debian rescue cd, type 'rescue' at the boot prompt. After a few screens, this should open a shell on your installed system. Read the debian installation guide at http://www.debian.org/releases/stabl...h08s07.html.en

Once in the shell, install the kernel package with aptitude or apt-get.

I try to remove hot/plug and install the Linux kernel when PC was booting from a live-CD AMD64 with Ubunto and dpkg and get this messages:

When I try to boot the system now it found the first boot file
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.5.amd64
but not this file
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-5-amd64

I have already done this and I could only install the grub again,
but I could not install the image for the kernel.

/dev/null errors are probably due to not having mounted udev under your target tree.
As for the rest, you should install the packages it wants first:
Did you use 'rescue' or 'rescuegui'?

I use 'rescue' and succeed to remove (uninstall) udev-hotplug software.
then I try to use 'rescue' to install the Linux kernel but I failed,
but I should try more tonight.

Now I have boot on my Debian CD with the 'rescue' option
and then I try to install my kernel file for amd64.deb, but I got this error message:

sh-3.1# dpkg -i amd64.deb
dpkg: failed to open package into file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: Input/output error
sh-3.1#

This problem sucks....

What's wrong now ?

Now I have traced the file '/var/lib/dpkg/available'
and the size is 0 bytes ?! and the type is "unknown" ?! strange....
It's not possible to open the file e.g. with a editor...also strange....

But then I found another file '/var/lib/dpkg/available.old'
with the size of ~1Mbyte and seems to contain some sort of dpkg package descriptions.

Maybe some earlier trials to install the amd64 kernel has failed with DPKG and results with corrupt 'available' file !?
Should I try to rename the file 'avilable.old' to 'avilable'
and then boot on my Debian CD with the 'rescue' option and then try to install the Linux kernel for AMD64 ?

I saw some other treads about corrupt 'available'-file
and was recommended to run
>dpkg --clear-avail
>apt-get update

Is this a better solution, then rename to old file?

I reed in some other threads this 'available'-file should contain all available package from Debian.
Just now it's most importent for me,
to get the system up and running with the Linux kernel.

Could I update the 'available' file from Debian after I have repair the 'kernel' and boot the Linux system ?

Could I get some recomendation, because I'm still a newbie on Linux ?

This should work. If it doesn't, check your internet connection and your sources.list

Might work, or might not. Depends on the content of available.old (btw, I have available-old, not available.old). On my system, both are identical, though my guess is that every time you apt-get update, available gets moved to available-old.

UP AND RUNNING !!!
==================

I try to install the kernal with dpkg, but get a lot off errormessage.
Then I try use apt-get -P amd64 and then try to install the it agagin with dpkg but get a lot of error mesages. Then I try to use apt-get -i amd64,
but I get a lot of error and recomendation to install some software (have forget the name) and I try again to install the kernel,but still get warnings messages.
I just act i desperation....like "try and error"...
But, when I reboot the PC on the hard disk,
it start Linux correct !!
I was suprised, because that wasn't expected.
Anyway, thanks-thanks-thanks to Drakeo and especially to Stefan N !

Congratulations!
