Your problem is described and there is even a workaround available. However, this is still in Wiki errata, which has only a small link at the end of the official errata page, so you might have missed it. http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/Mandrake92 About pwcx.o, I've tried myself to insmod it (Philips D740 webcam), it failed because kernel used a different major gcc version. One needs to hope that the happy owner of the proprietary code might consider recompiling it. Could not find an email address on pwcx.o official website though. > 2.

One needs to relaunch "update-menus" as root when that happens. There is a problem when rpm %post scripts call it, it seems. Fred, do we address this problem with an errata or something? -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
