They do not belong to the main distro but they will be in another one , based on the 9.0 Mandrake Linux and will be called MNF. This will be different iso. The status of the MNF iso was not decided yet. The iso might be free for download or not ... nobody knows yet :o) -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/

[Cooker] RC3 Bugs (second try)
I'm resending this message since my first attempt failed (rejected because the log files I attached where too large). Just installed RC3 on my (SMP) box and found the following bugs: 1. install.log reports that %post failed while installing glibsc (rm command not found). 2. I reformatted partitions originally created for RC2. / is mounted from /dev/hda12 (ReiserFS), while /usr, /var, /tmp and /home are mounted from LVM partitions (XFS). mkfs.xfs reports that it could not find the lvdisplay command (see in ddebug.log). 3. On booting RC3 it reported an error in /etc/init.d/usb (line 1: eval not found). This is early on in the boot process, just after the host name is set, but before the LVM volumes are mounted (I think). 4. On shutting down the system I briefly saw a message in which the VFS seemed to say that some inode where still open. The system still shut down OK. Not sure what these messages meant, and they appeared and disappered so quickly I was not able to work out excatly what they said. (these ones are newer than my original list) 5. I had a USB wheel mouse plugged into a port on my hub, however it could not be seen from there. Plugging it directly into the USB port on my box meant that it could be seen (after restarting X). Note however that the installer could see my USB mouse when it was in the hub. Also note that everything worked fine for RC.2. 6. Mouse stopped working after 10 minutes or so, I had to go to run level 3, unload the hid module, reload it and go back to run level 5. Other than these problems everything is looking fine. I'm going to have another try at installing over this weeknd using a different setup to see what I get. Alan

(use konqueror to open the attached file), or use the link and get it from the source http://www.mandrakeuser.org/mub/viewtopic.php?topic=9704forum=82 When stuck in a freeze, your computer will not respond to commands anymore and input devices like keyboard and mouse seem to be blocked. This is a worst case scenario and could mean that you have a very severe error in either your configuration, your software or your hardware. Here we will show you to deal with this annoying situation. In the case of a system freeze, your top priority should be trying to shutdown your system properly. Let's assume you are under X, if so, try these steps consecutively: * Try to kill the X server by pressing ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE simultaneously. * Try to switch to another console with ALT+CTRL+F2. If you succeed, login as root and issue the command: kill -15 $(pidof X) or the command kill -9 $(pidof X), if the first command shows no effect. (Check with top to see if X is still running). * If you are part of a local network, try to ssh into your machine from another box. It is advisable to ssh into the remote machine as an unprivileged user and then use su to become root. * If the system does not respond to any of these steps, you have to go through the SysRq (System Request) sequence. The SysRq sequence involves pressing three keys at once, the left ALT key, the SysRq key (labeled PrintScreen on older keyboards) and a letter key. * Left ALT+SysRq+r puts the keyboard in raw mode. Now try the pressing ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE again, to kill the X. If that does not work, carry on. * Left ALT+SysRq+s attempts to write all unsaved data to disk (sync the disk). * Left ALT+SysRq+e sends a termination signal to all processes, except for init. * Left ALT+SysRq+i sends a kill signal to all processes, except for init. * Left ALT+SysRq+u attempts to remount all mounted filesystems read-only. This removes the dirty flag and will avoid a file system check upon reboot. * Left ALT+SysRq+b reboots the system. You might just as well press the reset button on your machine. [Note] Remember that this is a sequence, i.e. you have to press one combination after the other in the right order: Raw, Sync, tErm, kIll, Umount, reBoot[1]. You will find more on this feature in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt. * If none of the above helps, cross fingers and press the reset switch on your machine. If you are lucky, GNU/Linux will just run a disk check upon reboot. By all means, try to find out what causes these lockups because they can do severe damage to the file system. You might also want to consider using ReiserFS, a journaling file system included in Mandrake Linux since 7.0, which handles such failures more gracefully. However, replacing ext2fs with ReiserFS requires reformatting your partitions. Notes [1]

It is very important that BOOT-kernel as well as regular kernel be built with the same options as from 8.2 distribution updated kernel-2.4.18.8.1mdk-1-3mdk. Otherwise, the CD Installation for that community will be impossible. Regards Niksa Jurinovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] I put this forward on the 10 of September, there was no response from anyone. I was using a similar configuration. /dev/hda 80GB, /dev/hdc CDROM, /dev/hde 80GB and /dev/hdg 80GB. I'd done an NFS update and install and found that the install kernel had inversed the controllers. The operations been carried out on different discs, when the machine was rebooted the disc configuration returned to normal and the old installation was on disc /dev/hda. This is a show stopper. As Niksa said above this type of configuration is now quite common, the price difference between MBs with and without Raid controllers is such that it is often worth fitting the with Raid MB just in case you may need the capability in the future. -- Dave Cotton Directeur Linux Autrement

IMHO, it would probably be better to name the package glibc-headers, with a provides kernel headers. I for one would appreciate an understanding of why kernel-headers is no longer required. Kernel-headers is required for compiling any other software, but it is not required for building kernel modules, that's what kernel-source is for. There's no reason normal programs need the headers for the kernel, but they do need the headers for the c library for the kernel. Maybe after release, someone (Gwenole?) could explain this more eloquently, and also why the kernel-headers release number doesn't match the glibc release number?

That is not true, otherwise these headers would be updated every time the kernel-source was updated. But, I have tried to build NVIDIA_kernel with just kernel-headers installed (and as reported on this list, I get unresolved symbols), but now if I install the kernel-source, besides whining about it directly including kernel source headers, it compiles without problems. So this leads to two conclusions: Either the kernel-headers are somewhat incompatible with the actual headers in kernel-source, or there is a bug in the NVIDIA_kernel RPM where it's including the headers from the wrong kernel (i.e. some other (custom) kernel source I may have had in /usr/src/linux).
