Hi
Lot of thanks for your response and time spent.
Still I could not understand what mistake I have committed. Linux-Mandrake
7.2 runs great in the same PC and Hard disc.
I was a little bid tire of trying Linux-Mandrake 8.0 continuously without
any result. Then I turned to Linux-Mandrake 8.1. Having its ISO images
download from the website I started installation with the CDs thus
prepared. It went through smoothly and the mouse was alive. However after
re-starting the mouse die.
I started /configuration/hardware/HardDrake. All devices on its window did
not show any description including the mouse. I attempted to evoke the
file on the menu bar, such as File, Options, Tools and Help but without
response. I tried Ctrl/Alt/Shift and f/i/l/e combination
key. Unfortunately it did not work.
I logout and re-started the PC. During exiting follow error messages pop-up
- /dev/psaux : No such device or address
- Link error messages pop-up ………
………………………
- Mainloop returned Console Init : No such device or address
- INIT : no more process left in this runlevel
The PC hanged on forcing me to re-boot the PC
No improvement made after re-starting. I tried twice re-installing
Linnux-Mandrake 8.1 with the same result
Could any guy on the list shed me some light. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Stephen Liu
