Interseting problem: two hard drives, hda (primary master) is 10 gig, hdb
(primary slave) is 4.3 gig. Mandrake 6.0 is on hda by its lonesome, Win89 is
on 2gig of hdb. Usually I go into the system BIOS and select none for hda,
reboot and install COL 2.2 on the balance of hdb. I have done the install with
and without making a seperate swap partition for COL. Everything installs fine
and all the usual programs work with no problems. The kernel version displayed
on the control-panel startup is 2.2.5, which it should be. Now, if I shut
down, reboot, and reselect hda in the BIOS, lilo shows me the correct menu:
linux dos col and they each individually boot correctly. BUT... now nothing
works in COL (ie: kppp, cdrom.floppy) and the kernel version displayed is that
of Mandrake...2.2.9-19mdk. Why does Mandrake contaminate my COL install even
if it's on a seperate drive? I suspect the swap partition? Is there a way for
this to not happen? More curious than anything.
Thanks, Tom
