SOLVED: Cannot find 2.6.12-6 kernel packages


I have been playing with a Debian/Ubuntu based distribution called BeatrIX, which currently installs with the with 2.6.7 kernel.

A few weeks back, I ran Synaptic to ugrade the kernel, which installed 2.6.12-6. This worked fine.

Today, I did a clean re-installation of Beatrix, (have been using SuSE 9.1) and I upgraded the kernel, which turned out to be 2.6.12-7.
Unfortunately, on reboot, neither the mouse or touchpad works. I have tried it several times, and know it is not the

I want to use kernel 2.6.12-6, as I know it works on my laptop. However, I cannot find it again:

The repositories I have looked at show:

Warty
2.6.8-3

Hoary:
2.6.10-5
2.6.11-1

Breezy:
2.6.12-7

How can I get the 2.6.12-6 kernel packages (headers & image) again?

Thumbs up

I just did search for linux-headers-2.6.12-6-686 and got :
http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu...de.breezy.main

I put http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ into Synaptic, and it worked.
The kernel has been updated and the mouse & touchpad still work.
