HARDWARE: P3 450 Tyan 1832DL Geforce DDR 32mb AGP (Creative's Annihilator Pro) SBlive Value Intel Etherpro 100 NIC 2 WD 27GB/40GB ATA66/100 7200rpm drives Adaptec 152x SCSI (ISA) CDROM 32x (scsi) CD-RW HP7200i (ide) 256MB RAM LS120 (3 1/2 floppy) Brother HL-1240 Printer USB 3 button Logitech Wingman Gaming Mouse (generic) Sony Trinitron Multiscan 420GS 19" Monitor METHOD OF INSTALLATION/UPGRADE = hd.img upgrading over existing cooker upgrade over a fresh install ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) POST INSTALL: Asks twice, instead of once, if you have anyothere nic cards after finding an ethpro100. 2) POST INSTALL: Still no ability to make a bootdisk on the ls120 drives (known issue) 3) POST INSTALL: Printer test page on the HL_1240 still prints slightly to the left...but am used to this for the past 6 months...have already tried hacking some stuff. 4) INITIAL BOOT: unresolved symbols in usbmouse.o? to solved, tried to move the stuff around, rebooted several times, killed a chick and voila, it works now....don't ask me how. One thing i did try to do was mv /lib/modules /lib/modules-old and then in the /usr/src tried make modules but got an error mid way thru (probabely have to re-build the kernel) Also, i'm finding that i must disable kudzu to stop re-detecting the usbmouse device. Once it re-detects it, it actually disables it. can't remember if it unloads the module or edits something....sorry for the lack of info. 5) INITIAL BOOT: NVidia driver .9-7 fails to build from Source RPMS (rpm -bb --clean NVIDI*spec*)...weird...unressolved symbols when trying to insmod the nvidia.o driver which resulted in me trying to rebuild the source rpms. 6) DESKTOP: Linuxconf & Netconf fail to run. something about a wine error? wow! This must've been a bad time to download the cooker! 7) NETWORK: As a result of not having linuxconf/netconf, i cannot configure my ethernet card properly. The only drak tool that would work was the "Network Profile" prg....had access to dns and gateway settings etc. No other tools would help besides directly going to edit the config files manually. -- ----- http://www.alltel.net/~rogerx/ My ICQ UIN# = 21252173 (Reply only in ascii/text format.
