Hi People! I've just installed the second beta of Mandrake Linux 9.0 and there are some bugs I'd like to report.
1) Boot kernel (2.4.18-22) won't see the second HD (it's on a Promise FastTrak RAID controller...) and it worked fine since 8.0 so that I used hda+hde for my software RAID. Indeed when I connect hde+hdf (both disk to the RAID controller) kernel hangs, at least till version 8.2 (2.4.18), so that I have to build software-RAID with HDA (normal IDE controller) and HDE (ATA-RAID controller). But now installer just found HDA... 2) There's a typo in "Network config", maybe for Italian only. The message ask: "Track AUDIO card (useful for laptop)"... should be "track network card" I suppose! ;o) [ Post-installation] 3) Installing CDRECORD-CDDA2WAV --> "Group cdwriter does not exist, using ROOT"! 4) While installing many RPM I get the following message (not always, maybe 8-10% of the time): cd /mnt/error : db4 error (-30988) from dbcursor --> c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Request page not found [not important...] 5) Fonts in KDE are very big in my opinion... but that's just estetic! 6) New RPMDRAKE really misses many many things: now source definition is a separate tool, and I cannot list things like "Show only uninstalled package" or, even better, "Show updates only"... Hope to have it back soon! =:) 6) Gcombust is still at version 0.1.47 and it even have a security bug... 7) I really miss OpenOffice... =:°°< 8) Maybe some more KDE themes? Even in a separate package... 9) Netatalk (it's in main tree!) should be updated & recompiled against latest GCC I suppose... That's all at the moment! Bye, Claudio -- Remote system is LINUX (Mandrake 9.0 beta 2)
