Re: [Cooker] kernel install issues
You are not the only one. Before I found out it was a fluke in the dev package that screwed up my rebooting, I thought it had something to do with the kernels due to the error LILO spewed out. On Wednesday 08 August 2001 10:59 pm, you wrote: I have had this problem with every kernel upgrade the links to config, system.map and vmlinuz are not being linked to the new kernel when installed. I have to do this manually. Also initrd.img is not created (and therefore also not linked). If there is a lilo script that is supposed to run, it obviously fails but does not warn the user. This means that any unsuspecting user will have their system not boot properly after an upgrade! Am I the only person experiencing this?

Re: [Cooker] kernel install issues
Well, adding some data to this fire, I just upgraded to kernel-2.4.7-11 and links were correctly made. However, the install process seems to need of perl-MDK-Common to reload LILO. Well, first perl couldn't find some *.pm of this package (yes, I installed it). Second, it started to cry wild that it couldn't find what bootloader I had (Grub btw). Well, I have a manually redacted menu list to avoid surprises and have an nearly all-weather boot process. Boot went smooth and the kernel is working perfectly the last 12 hours. As a matter of fact it is a lot easier to use grub if you know it. At least, it a lot much easier to forget checking up the boot process/scripts before you boot a new kernel.

If you merely had a terminal open and tried to run anything X, it

After that you need to export your DISPLAY variable ('export

[Cooker] Leftover /lib/modules/`uname -r` after removing kernel RPM
rpm -e kernel leaves /lib/modules/`uname -r` behind:
{pts/1}% l /lib/modules
2.4.5-7mdk/ 2.4.5-9mdk/ 2.4.6-3mdk/ 2.4.6-5mdk/ 2.4.7-12mdk/
2.4.7-3mdk/
2.4.7-8mdk/
Granted, not a big deal, but is confusing and this boot floppy Drak tool
lists all these versions as available.
This is because directory is created in preinstall script and not listed
in RPM filelist. Any reason for this?

Re: [Cooker] ReiserFS killed my /var
I have had mixed results. I tried to keep my mouth shut during the whole thread, but I can't any longer. I experimented with Reiser since 7.2. All it did was each my paritions and I think the VIA bug has something to do with it. But this was not a rare occation, it ate my /home and /var multiple times and on different machines (all three had some VIA chipset as I only use AMD). Then, the newer Reiser version cameout and changing the paritions to those helped but I still saw problems where it reported a directory to have 2 gigs of data in it when I only had 400 megs! I must have been smoking something, because for my server, I went all ReiserFS with the latest 8.0. I was doing a switch from the old server to a new one and in the excitement I forgot about my ReiserFS problems. I almost switch back as soon as I realized what I had done. However, I just bited down and did regular backups waiting for when it went south. IT NEVER DID! I hope I am not talking too soon, but for a few months it has been running w/o any problems. I would still waite for it to mature more or use XFS, which I have used in many of my desktops. IMHO anyways...

This a newer thing? First of all, what does your kernel version have to do with that? You may be right, but not for that reason. I personally have not heard of tracepath, so I can't help you there, except to say that it should not be part of the kernel package. -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have never posted them for fear they are illegal. I can build RPMS with NoSource tag... I still prefer that the user have to download the codecs. Or maybe I just remove the BuildRequires. What is your preference? I realize videolan may be a personal project for you, but this is good for me too, if it bring about a Mandrake policy for libcss. Again, I can't see *removing* libcss for many applications. However, a NoSource RPM may be provided for it. Again it is up to you. I was told that lame was illegal. And maybe the audio codecs to mplayer. But this will being me one step closer to releasing these RPMS. If I can find a clean way to remove these codecs I will, but I'm not sure that it will be easy. -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] rpminst breaks down during install portion

PMac4400 with G3 upgradecard
Hi, My problem is that when I try to install mandrake(using bootx to boot) everything else installs just fine, but then it tries to install bootstrap( a part of yaboot?) and it fails to do it. It didn't even give a hint what was the problem(no error explanation(or even error type)). So any hints how to proceed? Yours. Mikko Västi

Something like No room to make 1MB bootstrap. Are you starting with Apple_Free space on the drive? The installer does not have the capability of resizing MacOS partitions. More recent updates are a little more forgiving and let you past this initial bootstrap error with a warning that you will need to create one. Also I now check for OldWorld machines and forgoe the bootstrap setup in that case. I did not have access to an OldWorld machine for testing when the Beta1 ISO's were released.

Re: Mac-On-Linux
Hi Sylvain - I was able to get MOL working w/o much of a problem. I might be able to help you a little bit, but your best bet is to post to the Mac-on-Linux mailing list - see the homepage for details.
