Re: [Cooker] XFree86 4.0 HOWTO
I am running the stable cooker series, the 2.2.xxx group (2.2.15-x) not the 2.3 series. The hardware is a i810 based mb with a pentium 450. The video, sound, network card, modem are all built into the onboard chipset. The i810 video card uses main memory for video ram. This is why the agpgart module has to be compiled into the kernel. We have 14 of these boxes at work. I want to convert them all over to Mandrake. The standard Mandrake 7.x release does not come with either agpgart support in the kernel or i810 in the Xconfigurator setup. I am hoping to get the i810 working under X ver 4.0 (needs agpgart.o). I am wondering if there will be a version of Mandrake that natively supports these chipsets since all the drivers are released on the web for them. best regards Dalton rdunlap wrote: curious i havent had any problem with mine i compiled 2.3.51 saturday. sorry i was'nt any help what kind of hardware? - Original Message - From: "Dalton Calford" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2000 2:14 PM Subject: Re: [Cooker] XFree86 4.0 HOWTO I followed the standard steps I always follow make menuconfig make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install make install This all works fine.

[Cooker] 2 SCSI controllers == boot problems
Hi, I've just installed the latest cooker on my intel sys. This machine has got 2 SCSI controllers, a ncr860 based one with a scanner attached, and a aix7880 based one with disks, cdrom's etc. The (network-) install goes fine, but when I try to boot it only loads the ncr-860 SCSI controller and can't find the disks. Which parameters can I pass to grub so it also loads the aic7880 controller? Thanks, Stefan van der Eijk BTW: The install is looking better and better... MSCE consultants at work are installing Mandrake and find it _very_ good looking easy to install... Good work!!!

[Cooker] My final error/bug list for kernel problems hopefully
I did find the sblive drivers (emu10k1) and other data for configuring my cdrom/scsi aha152x (had to edit scsi Makefile and add parameters rather than lilo). And i must admit, everything is very well organized. Unlike my hdd, copy/paste here, copy/paste their, duplicate files over there and some junk over there. very nicely organized mdk. if a tech support person provide support via phone to someone using linux, they probabely would'nt have a prob' finding anything. One quesiton is this, when enabling supermount for the ls120 (i.e. /mnt/ls120 /mnt/ls120 supermount .../dev/hdd...fstype=vfat...etc) and trying to access the drive resulted in a o/s freeze. I have now just re-edited the fstab to read the "standard mount" statement for this ls120 drive bummer - no supermount for ls120 - guess i'll hit deja.com for a quick search.

You need to use the "-h" flag to halt. From the man pages: shutdown does its job by signalling the init process, asking it to change the runlevel. Runlevel 0 is used to halt the sys tem, runlevel 6 is used to reboot the system, and runlevel 1 is used to put to system into a state where administra tive tasks can be performed; this is the default if nei ther the -h or -r flag is given to shutdown. Type "man shutdown" to get useful info like this about "shutdown"; it also works for most other commands. Cool, eh?

Re: [Cooker] Proofreaders wanted
Yes. I'm interested. I have wanted to contribute to Linux for a while but don't have the technical skills YET. English. (My Dutch and Finnish language skills are mainly verbal and not good enough for proof-reading.)

It is not technical proofreading, just for language good usage. There will be ponctual work as chapters become available, up to late may. Write directly to me if interested, Thanks, Camille.
