They are actually in the kernel: ataraid.o hptraid.o With those installed I can see the partitions on the raid 0 array. preformance is choppy but it does actually work. Diskdrake hosed the raid array during an install. During install devices are /dev/ataraid/d0p? Inserting modules in a running system makes the devices /dev/ataraid/disc0/part? which diskdrake does not recognize. The highpoint drivers may still be the best bet for now.

What about a dialog box telling user that he needs to do that and if he can't do that then he could try using Instal with floppy. And it shouldn't just reboot because you can be doing something in Windows and it doesn't even ask you if you wan't to reboot now. So more information is needed before reboot. And user also has to confirm or be able to cancel reboot. -- Live long and prosper!

Actually I didnt catch if you had raid enabled or not, but the chipset seems to be supported, my bios version 2.31 reports 370/372 and the "open source" driver from www.highpoint-tech.com is the same for the 370 and 372. I can make partitions on the raid array during an install (ataraid.o and hptraid.o loaded) but for some reason the diskdrake writes the partition table to the drive in a way that hoses the Raid array. upon reboot HPT bios complains the raid array is broken and you have to re-create it and lose everything on the drive. After installing on a regular drive I can load ataraid and hptraid and access the partitions on the raid array, but it is choppy and slow. I can not use diskdrake. During an install the raid partitions show up as /dev/ataraid/d0p? which diskdrake likes, however when loading the modules in a running system the devices come up as /dev/ataraid/disc0/part? which diskdrake does not recognize, making a link from /dev/ataraid/disc0/part? to /dev/ataraid/d0p? lets diskdrake work. I had the /, /home, and swap on the raid0 array in 8.2 and it worked beautifully, so far the results in 9.0 are dissappointing, but at least built in support is there. Building support into the kernel and disabling the other ide stuff you dont need may take care of the sluugish response. But thrashing the raid array is a BAD thing :(

[Cooker] gnome issues.
Installed gnome2 yesterday (I think) from a cooker mirror - planetmirror.com Some package listings for you: libgnome-desktop-2_0-2.0.6-3mdk libgnome2_0-2.0.1-2mdk gnome-desktop-2.0.6-4mdk libgnome2-2.0.2-4mdk Upon running the keyboard shortcuts configuration option, I don't get all the options which I'm told by gnome-loving friends I'm supposed to have (I've never really used gnome before). Here's a screenshot: http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/~jgre4014/b0rkedgn0me.jpg I'm told that the two options I see are supposed to be the root of trees of other options, but those are the only two I have. Clicking, double clicking etc has no effect. That's it. The same gnome-loving friend also informed me that I'm supposed to be able to switch windows with alt-tab and workspaces with ctrl-alt-(left|right). This isn't working. The window manager is metacity if that helps. Packages are: $ rpm -qa | grep metacity metacity-2.4.0-2.20020828.1mdk Coming from all my key-bindings in window maker, it's quite inconvenient to have to use the mouse for everything. On the upside it looks lovely :) Mail me if there's any more info needed to fix this. James.

Not sure what you mean by that. We just have two computers connected to

Thanks for your time, which I know you don't have much of. I'm glad to
have a functioning firewall, but I think the average person who installs
shorewall will find himself cut off from the internet and won't know why.
I did several reinstalls and lots of network reconfiguration before I
discovered it by comparing my /etc directories between rc1 and rc2. It's
probably too late now, but perhaps some warning could be put into the
install process in the future alerting the user to a possible (probable?)
source of difficulty if he installs shorewall.

ps. But I wasn't able to send this email on the first try ("No such host

[Cooker] function definition is void: mime-charset-to-coding-system
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.emacs.xemacs as well.
I cleared out all prior versions (and I'm praying I didn't lose any
clever hacks ;) and re-installed xemacs-21.4.9-3mdk.i586.rpm fresh
from today's cooker, then used the package tools to update to the
latest kit and add liece (no MULE), and I _still_ get this error
trying to run liece:
function definition is void: mime-charset-to-coding-system
Google only has one reference to this error, which seems to suggest
that it's not a common thing, and that it might have something to
do with liece compatibility between GNU Emacs and XEmacs?

Re: [Cooker] Installer won't upgrade on "dirty" filesystems

Re: [Cooker] "devfs=nomount" -> rc.sysinit: /dev/null: Read-only fs
I read that there used to be a lot of problems with devfsd, so I simply kept using "devfs=nomount". But then, the other day the bug in the menu package removed /dev/null, so I had to use "devfs=mount". Then I discovered that I had a problem with my USB JetFlash drive. Mandrake now automatically edits fstab and inserts supermount for my JetFlash. This was OK if it was DOS formatted; but I have formatted my JetFlash as an ext2 FS, and supermount (apparently) does not handle that type of formatting. My stupid procedure is now to copy fstab from a safe place just before I mount my Flash drive. It used to work in the traditional way when I used "devfs=nomount". But, if there is a way to avoid supermount, or to use ext2 with supermount, I am willing to stick with devfs. -- Bjarne On Fri, 2002-09-13 at 04:58, Reinhard Katzmann wrote: > Hi Bjarne, > > On Fri, Sep 13, 2002 at 04:50:03AM +0200, Bjarne Thomsen wrote: > > Sorry, yet another question: > > > > How does this devfs mounting work?

Sorry, yet another question: How does this devfs mounting work? Is it mounted on top of the mount point /dev ?

[Cooker] Printerdrake, mcc and menus issue
Just after you install RC2 go to Mandrake Control Center | Hardware | Printers. It installs software and then leaves a blank dialog. It also blows away the Configuration and What to do menus. To get that printer dialog working, you have to manually run printerdrake and specify a printing system. Then when you load mcc again the dialog can be used. Printing options also appear in the menus. Running update-menus gets the menus in order again. After all this my mouse was stuck with the busy cursor.

This > > > motherboard has no isapnp how can I turn it off? > > > > rpm -e isapnptools > > > executing this command go this error: > isapnptools not installed Then it can't be isapnptools causing this problem because the rc.sysinit first checks: 1) is there an executable /sbin/isapnp and is there a file named /etc/isapnp.conf and there cannot be a file named /proc/isapnp. 2) Is there not a "nopnp" passed from the lilo command prompt (or append)? 3) If both of those pass, then it runs '/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' That's it. So check to see if you have that binary. Check to see if you have that config file. Check to see if /proc/isapnp exists on your system. Try passing "nopnp" at the commandline. I've half a mind that what's hanging is not isapnp but what comes immediately afterward, which is remounting the root fs rw. Maybe gc has more to input on this.

Note: I reported this problem over at Mandrake Forum but have been unable to solve it. I've just got a chance to test RC2 today and it still has the same bug as RC1 (I haven't tested the beta versions). I've tested with ReiserFS and Ext3 file systems and both times the kernel won't boot. It simply hangs at "Loading reiserfs module" (reiserfs) or "Loading jbd module" (Ext3). On the suggestion of Ranger from Mandrake Forum, I tried with the Ext2 file system and now it now hangs at "INIT: version 2.83 booting" and must be hard booted to recover (previous times I was able to CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart). The system boot perfectly with the standard kernel. I'd really like to resolve this bug before the final release but don't have the expertise to diagnose the problem further. The test system specs are below. Thanks, Evan Waite --- Test System Specs: Motherboard: MB Jetway 911AF (ya it's an odd one!)

[Cooker] Windows 2000 installer display bug

Re: [Cooker] 9.0 BETA - Bug report / Installation - Gericom Laptop and Linux Mandrake
1. It should not be "hung", it should just take a long time before proceeding. 2. I have hit this same issue, perhaps, many many times. You can specify a default ip address 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 for your ethernet adapters and disable DHCP during Install/Upgrade It takes a while for DHCP to timeout if it is somehow not quite configured right, or if the adapter driver is not set up right to begin with for whatever reason, including the cable being disconnected. Then, after everything comes up the first time, configure your networking differently. Try BOTH of those above.

[Cooker] Installer won't upgrade on "dirty" filesystems
My 8.2 machine ended up having dirty filesystems after rebooting becayse of bug in the network drive shutdown code in 8.2. When I tried to upgrade this system, 9.0RC2's installer couldnt' find the / filesystem to upgrade. I assume this is because it was dirty. The problem went away and I was able to upgrade on these filesystems after hacking out parts of the shutdown script. The message given wasn't very informative. It was something like "unable to find / filesystem" or "unable to find mandrake linux installation" It would have been better to say - "all filesystems need repair before installation" (or better yet ask, fsck & repair them, but problably not time for that for 9.0).

Clicking on "install Mandrake" just reboots the system - it doesn't do anything else that I could tell. Running W2K SP. 9.0RC2 Mandrake.

Of course them burying the place to suggest a new app probably didn't help with the voting. Truth is I have everything I need.

A better policy would be to do major releases. 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 etc. Don't you think it's the wrong time to be asking for people to join the club and get all excited about Mandrake PPC when *NOTHING* is happening with the distro? Let's face it 90% of the contrib stuff that happens on x86 happens as we get close to a release. If you don't believe me go look at the changelog list. > This was more due to a miscommunication than anything.

Odd that Stew didn't know this for sure back when 9.0 development was getting started.

If I go through my emails I will see dozens (possibly more) of emails and postings from Mandrake employees saying "If x doesn't happen we won't be doing PPC." At first it was CD sales. Then it was club memberships. Now it's club voting. None of which in my opinion is representative of the interest in Mandrake PPC whatsoever. I think a lot of the people who use Mandrake PPC are Linux users to begin with. They have an X86 box. They either have old Apple hardware laying around or they want to use some of the cool looking Apple hardware. Generally they want a machine that can check email, browse the web, and do some basic things. They aren't as demanding of their PPC machines as they are of their x86 boxes. (If you don't believe me try searching for DVD on this list and then comparing it to the x86 list.) Saying that there is no interest in PPC because people aren't voting for RPMS on clubs is just ludicrious. I use PPC almmost every day. But I'm not voting for RPMS because I've got better things to worry about. PPC just works for me. And the few things that I did need updated I've put up myself. In one case even on the club (gphoto2). I find it odd that Mandrake people keep forgetting that they don't just use PPC and that neither do probably most of their PPC users. Most of these people would rather vote for RPMS (with their limited votes) for x86. Not because they don't care about PPC. But because they are content wherever they can get these updated packages. > If 100 people sign up for Mandrake Club and specifically indicate that > they want more PPC stuff, I assure you MandrakeSoft will take them > seriously.

You're missing the point. What person is going to spend money to join the club to support a Mandrake arch that isn't being maintained but every other release. Compared to other distros that maintain their PPC releases much better. This is a lot like trying to put the cart before the horse. You want a community to exist to support something. But communities don't just spring up out of nowhere. They have to be built. Mandrake doesn't have to build the x86 community

I haven't had a chance to look at the kernel yet, but my guess is that the problem is that the either kernel does not disable the local APIC before rebooting or it needs some fix for cases when the BIOS is at fault (which is most likely the case here). For now, I recommend just disabling it since it does not seem to have any performance difference (at least on my system); people who need it could enable it easily enough. --- Lauber _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

I have a machine with two CDRoms in them (both SCSI). One is a 16X CDRW, the other is a Plextor 40X CD. The burner can read it with no problem. The Plextor cannot. When I burn, I use DAO and burnfree. I've also tried it without those enabled, same thing. I have not tried slowing the burn speed down (currently burning at 16X). Maybe I could try at 4X and see if it makes a difference. I don't think it's a coincidence that the burner can read the burned disk and the regular CD cannot.

I had the same problem after my rc1-to-rc2 upgrade. I rebooted into failsafe mode, and harddrake popped up in text mode. I accepted the defaults and a bunch of the other draktools came up one by one afterward. Once through those, it booted correctly and has worked since. I don't think the boot should just hang if one of the tools runs. It needs to give a prompt or something.

However I have real problems installing MDK 9.0 RC1 on the same machine. 1) Graphics This problem relates to XConfig. It doesn't recognise my ATI card and insists it is a Mach 64. The 8.2 install also made this mistake but DrakConf could be pursuaded to accept that the card is really a Mach32. However under 9.0RC1, although the installer allows the me to select the correct graphic card and appears to install the X RPMs for Mach32, it fails to record the selection. The result is that no X software can be setup leaving only a text installation. 2) Network The machine has a Linksys 10/100 Etherfast network card and so correctly installs the Tulip driver. Installation is successful if I specify an IP address during network setup. However if I select DHCP, the network card will not work after installation. Although ifconfig up/down work, the card does not obtain an IP address. Manually setting the IP address during installation then using DrakConf to change the setup to use DHCP seems to be the only reliable way to ensure a successful network setup.

Re: [Cooker] Sylpheed missing
I understand the need to reserve that space for the commercial apps. But, my concern is that there are now only three options for mail in Mandrake, KMail, Evolution and Mozilla (unless I'm mistaken). If you are running on a resource starved machine and are using a window manager other than KDE or Gnome, you are left with the choice of Mozilla or being forced to install KDE or Gnome just to get a mail program. My other concern is that Mandrake is known for being a desktop distribution, but it doesn't seem very user friendly if you are upgrading from a previous version of Mandrake to 9.0 and all of a sudden you don't have your mail program anymore (assuming you were using Sylpheed). I know that you could go out to contrib and download it, but the question is "Why should you have to?" Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Mandrake and I think 9.0 is about to be the best version yet. It just caught me by suprise that this package was removed from the distribution.

You need to do two things: 1. Run "msec 2" on the server, so that files like /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions are available when exported via NFS. 2. Create an empty file /etc/raidtab$$CLIENT$$. This will mask your server's raidtab from the workstations, in the same way that /etc/fstab$$CLIENT$$ masks your server's fstab from the workstations. I'll add (2) to the package.

Run "msec 2" and all should be well. The terminal-server package exports the server's root file system with all_squash set, which means that root on the workstation is effectively an anonymous user on the server. Therefore, an anonymous user must be able to read all the files necessary in order to boot a workstation. This includes things like /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. > One annoyance is that it seems impossible to have terminal-server and > snf configure dhcp, but terminal-server doesn't make allowance for a > dynamic range or WINS IPs (both of which I need for the +- 10 windows > desktops they currently have), if I were to add another interface to the > machine I don't see how I would be able to run two dhcpd's (yet, I could > hack a bit), and the SNF config also trashes everything the terminal > server setup. terminal-server provides an example DHCPD configuration file, which is made active only if you do not have a DHCPD configuration file at the time of installing terminal-server. The *only* thing that you need to add to a working DHCPD config file in order to turn it into a DHCPD config file that will work with terminal-server clients is the single line: include "/etc/dhcpd.conf.etherboot.include"; Absolutely everything else is automatic. Please note: I am talking about the terminal-server package as originally built by me; it is possible that the official Mandrake package works slightly differently. My package can be downloaded from www.fensystems.co.uk/RPMS.fensys/. > (The need for a configuration api which would make these two tools live > together is made evident by this setup). Not really; as I said, you need to add only one line to a working DHCPD config file in order to get it to serve terminal-server clients. [ However, while we're on the subject of configuration, you might want to take a look at the pre-alpha release of fenconfig, which is also available from www.fensystems.co.uk/RPMS.fensys. ] Michael Brown http://www.fensystems.co.uk -- Fen Systems: Linux made easy for schools

[Cooker] Hyperlink/navigation problem in konqueror (M9RC2)
Version: Mandrake 9.0RC2 I have noticed that on some web pages that if you click on a hyperlink that konqueror will not navigate to the selected web page. These are simple hyperlinks, Some Text, where no javascript is involved. For example, on the web page: http://www.gnome.org/faqs/ the hyperlink "Gnome Foundation FAQ" is correctly identified in the konqueror status bar at the bottom of the window if you move the mouse cursor over the hyperlink, but if you click somewhere in the right third of the hyperlink's text,say the word FAQ, then konqueror will not navigate to the selected web page. Also, as you move the mouse cursor over a hyperlink, the underlining of the hyperlink's text will only be visible for that portion of the hyperlink's text that is available for selection. __ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

If you click on the icon it does have all cdroms and floppys that are installed on your computer inside.

I installed the MDK8.2 kernel on my MDK9.0RC2 system updated with the latest cooker as of today, and rebooted, and no errors ... ;-) so ... I thought the problems was the SCSI part of the system, so I removed all 'scsi_hostadapter' lines in '/etc/modules.conf' and '/etc/modules.devfs'. then I added this to '/etc/modules' scsi_mod # this has to load first, or nothing works aic7xxx # I thought this should be here, since it is the HBA sd_mod # I placed this last, but it still loads before the aic7xxx then I rebooted, and ... same error ... :-( Preloading those 3 needed modules does not work either... The problem/error comes from the sd_mod module, since the call for 'scsi_hostadapter' is hardcoded into the module as specified in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c I even tried to copy the 'aic7xxx.o.gz' to '../scsi_hostadapter.o.gz' to try to fool the system, but with no luck. As the last 'fix' (wich I should have tried first...) I changed the lilo.conf from 'devfs=mount' to 'devfs=nomount', executed '/sbin/lilo', undid the 'scsi_hostadapter' changes mentioned in the beginning, and rebooted. Guess what... NO ERROR MESSAGES !! ;-) So a few questions: in the error message: 'kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno=2' What is 'errno=2'? Is it 'cant find /sbin/modprobe' ? Or is it 'dont find/know scsi_hostadapter'? (doesn't the system read the '/etc/modules.conf'?) So AFAIK something/(someone?) has changed the way the kernel interfaces with devfs, since the 2.4.18 kernel from MDK8.2 works just fine with my MDK9.0RC2 Cooker install... BTW, isn't 'kernel-linus2' the original release from kernel.org? It has the same problems... Oh, well... Thats all for now... More will follow ...
