I'll see what I can do maybe you guys dont use kde. but in at least 3 or 4
fresh installs when ever you install any package with a menu for kde this
happens. It does fine if you get them all during install but if you install
any kde apps after the os is installed this happens as well as all the icons
missing off kicker. It is rather annoying.
On a side not my trusty dec prioris 6000/4 can no longer install mandrake due
to the fact that the installer bombs out on the scsi card. I have tried
multiple times now. I have even tried with different scsi drives just to make
shure it was not the drives. this also happens on my compaq 650 I think it is
with a scsi controler and also a dec prioris mx 6200 the thing they all have
in common is that they are all
Multi procesor pentium pro
prioris 6000/4 (4 cpus)
prioris mx (2 cpus)
compaq (2 cpus)
and scsi but the prioris servers use adaptec ultra wide scsi and the compaq
uses symbios I think.
The install in all cases bombs out trying to format the drives. On a side note
I have had mandrake 9.0 on the prioris 6000 and the compaq for a year or so
with no issues. Me think I smell a nasty kernel driver issue.
