Long-time Gaim problem solved

I've been getting an error message (since like forever) each time I start Gaim on my Win XP computer at home: "The procedure entry point gaim_account_get_protocol could not be located in the dynamic link library gaim.dll". Gaim used to start just fine after that error, but since version 1.3.0 it wouldn't even start anymore. Thanks to some helpful pointers on SourceForge I've finally solved it. The culprit was an outdated plugin. To fix this error, remove bad plugins from the plugin directory of the Gaim program folder. In my case it was actually two bad plugins (tcl.dll and popup_notify.dll).

How my Poweredge 1300 got its 2.6 kernel

I've had bad troubles getting my Dell Poweredge 1300 to boot the shiny new Debian 2.6 kernel I downloaded for it. It got stuck when trying to mount the IDE drive (the system SCSI worked fine). After a tip from a colleague i added "acpi=off noapic nolapic" to the kernel option in /boot/grub/menu.lst and now it boots fine! I'm really not going to miss acpi since it's an always on server anyway...
