[Cooker] modules from 2.2.13-BOOT4

1999-11-09 Thread William

In the latest mirror, the initio.o module was compiled for kernel
2.2.13-BOOT4 , while this kernel is 2.2.13-BOOT10 , which of course
gives an error loading the module.

[Cooker] floppy images to install 6.1

1999-11-09 Thread Patrick Crosby

Is it possible to use the cooker floppy images (specifically
gi_pcmcia.img or pcmcia.img) to install mandrake 6.1 (from cd)?  I was
told to do this by official mandrake support, but the cooker images
don't use stage2.img, but rather mdkinst_stage2.gz or something like
that.

Thanks.

Patrick

gi_*.img needs quite a lot of tweakings to work in helios (6.1).

see www.linux-mandrake.com/drakx/README for more.



[Cooker] Reproducible Crash

1999-11-09 Thread Eugenio Diaz

I may have encountered a serious bug.

My box has crashed two times now (in a period of less than an hour).

In both occations, I was copying files from the floppy while heavily
using X/Enlightenment by changing desktops or windows quickly using the
keyboard.

I don't know if this is related, but normally while I use "grip" (which
uses cdparanoia) to rip CD's, the ppp network response becomes extremely
slow. I was not using "grip" while the crashes happened, but mentioned
it anyway just in case it is related. I think this one is related to
some bad interrupt handling.

I have no idea how to trace this back, plus I dont't want to reproduce
it since I have software striping on two 10G HDs and every time it crash
it takes like half hour to fsck, plus i don't want to loose all those
mp3's and jps's (Damn! I need to put that CDR to work) ;-). I have a
Gateway G6-200 (PPro 200) running 2.2.13-28mdk.

The only rare thing I could find in the various logs is this entry from
the kernel ring buffer (dmesg) which appears repeated a lot (but don't
know how to associate it with a time to see if it happened just before
the crash):

Directory sread (sector 0x15) failed
attempt to access beyond end of device
02:00: rw=0, want=11, limit=4
dev 02:00 blksize=512 blocknr=21 sector=21 size=512 count=1

I almost sure "dev 02:00" is the floppy, since /proc/devices says:

Block devices:
  1 ramdisk
  2 fd
  3 ide0
  9 md
 22 ide1

Anyone can help me track this down? Any ideas on were to look for more
clues?
