Where can I find later versions of the kernel for 9.1? I'm experiencing the ldm_validate_partition_table problem. I've looked on both pbone and rpmfind and neither of them appears to have new versions. pbone actually did have one a couple months ago (which unfortunately did not solve the problem), but now I can't find one there. Thanks. BTW, I searched MandrakeClub and didn't find anything there either.
There has not been an official kernal update for 9.1 yet. You would have to try and build your own, or you could also try the Cooker kernel. If you do try the cookwe kernel, make sure you install it without removing your old kernel so you can boot back to it if stuff desn't work.
Youcould try the mm kernel (it's on the disks). Why are you wanting this, though? The ldm_validate_partition_table problem only refers to the fact that there isn't a disk in a removable drive - it's harmless. Or is there something else?
Thanks all for the replies. I tried a 16 kernel that I had found on pbone, but it does not fix the problem. According to https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=930 this fix is only in versions 17 and later.
Anne, you are correct in that this appears to be a nuisance only, and not a malfunction. But it is enough of a nuisance that I'd like to fix it. It causes about a 30-second pause (old hardware 233 MHz dual Pentium MMX) in multiple places during boot-up, then another similar pause when I log on.
I'll try Greg's suggestion and see if I can get a later kernel from cooker.
