You installed the .deb packages?

[entropy101]

there are 2 new .deb

i finished the last command you gave me and i believe that it formed

linux-headers-3.1.0-0301rc10_3.1.0-0301rc10.201110190851_all.deb

and linux-image-3.1.0-rc10+_3.1.0-rc10+-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb

im $ sudo dpkg -i to both the files now

That's fine, you didn't uninstall your nvidia-glx package like my guide said

You don't have to, but on the next upgrade it might break.

Just make sure your nvidia installer is extracted and ready to go after your reboot.

4 new menu items
2 are kernal panics.
2 are recovery modes
im so close!

[ALLurGroceries]

What does it say before kernel panic... something about cannot find root?

[ALLurGroceries]

Double posting to get your attention (not supposed to but...)

Crap dude. You can't run linux kernel 3.0 or 3.1 on debian squeeze. Sorry about that.

You either have to upgrade to testing (wheezy) or try another distro.

It's an in-place upgrade to get to wheezy, just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list as root and change everything that says squeeze to wheezy. Then do:
apt-get update

and if that goes ok you can do the actual upgrade:
apt-get dist-upgrade

Sorry about that, I should've caught that detail earlier.

Anyway I checked all the git commits for 3.1-rc and there is nothing about asus-wmi or keyboard lights... so while you're better off than before for hardware support, it's not going to fix your main gripe.

If you get on a kernel that's 2.6.39 or newer, you can run this workaround to get the lights on:
G73 and asus-wmi linux driver.... I need *your* help

[entropy101]

so do everything we did before but for 2.6.39 then run the commands on page 5 of that link?
