While the installation of 8.1 worked like a dream , i had somme little problems afterwards:
1) MandrakeFirstTime did not work as expected I was not allowed to enter anything in the fields (or is this deactivated?) 2) Creating a boot floppy does not work, I know the problem is, that I use XFS and ReiserFS partitions, but it just died with a "not enough space on device" message, but no useful information or even better a solution was presented 3) When booting I got an error message from rc.modules, line 17 242 Speicherzugriffsfehler (memory access error), the problem disappeared after I removed scsi_hostadapter from /etc/modules 4) My CD-ROMs (with ide-scsi) and my SCSI-Scanner (HP Scanjet 4c) did not work initially, even as root I got a message stating that I don't have the rights to scan the scsi-bus, in /proc/scsi, I could find the two CD-Drives (one of them a burner) but no Scanner. The modules.conf looked: +++ alias usb-interface usb-uhci probeall scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx ide-scsi alias eth0 ne2k-pci probeall aic7xxx aic7xxx ide-scsi above snd-card-ens1370 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-ens1370 +++ after removing the scsi-lines and running depmod -a everything worked fine, BUT now even if I change back to the original modules.conf and do depmod -a again, it works, strange... 5) /etc/fstab was wrong: two entries for my first cdrom (/dev/hdc and /dev/scd0 but none for the burner) bye suka
