If you're not booting in quiet mode, watch for the kernel to finish loading. At that time you should see something like press I to go into interactive. Hit i (sometimes you need to start hitting it early, and keep it up until it registers). Then you will be prompted for each init script. TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger

[Cooker] Sane and ScanJet 4200C

I already tested Suse 8.1, and I already placed several orders for their professional version. You should be more careful with the kind of people your are selecting outside or inside your business, as I told you before Linux is not a Lone Ranger anymore there are hundreds of distribution outside in the market to select and the competition is tough, and it is a very hard to made a selection because they are all good, the o! nl! y difference between one bank and another bank is the type of service that they provide and they customer service manners, because they all sell the same products, and it is the same case with Linux, The Linux community is big and they are try to help and there are thousands of books about Linux and Unix and it is different to Microsoft that it is a closed and selfish system.

Approx 90% of the people who post on this list are not Mandrakesoft employees, and a lot are admins, which means that they often participate on cooker since they are guaranteed of not having the same kinds of issues they have been dealing with the whole day (ie stupid users etc). Now, you compare this list to the official support from other companies? I would think that with 2 Ph.Ds you would know that any valid comparison needs to be done under the same conditions. Your comparison is like overhearing through the back door the Chef at one restaurant swearing when he burns himself in the kitchen, and then deciding to go to another restaurant because the waiters there are polite (whereas one of the most important things to compare is the food, and you totally ignore it). If you are referring to the incident I think you are, please reread the thread, and you will see all the Mandrakesoft employees (ie mandrakesoft, linux-mandrake addresses are not Mandrakesoft employees, but contributors) handled the issue politely. Now, the fact that you posted this message to this mailing list is also indicative of your misunderstanding of Mandrakesoft.

Re: [Cooker] Unable to boot after sucessfull install
When you give decent informatio on exactly what you are doing. Much information is in this thread: subject: Serious problems installing 9.0. I did nothing special. I tried to install LM 9.0 final and got a plethora of errors. After that I tried to install with one of the alternative boot images, that went well. Now I can't boot the system. the kernel hangs on Freeing unused kernel memory. I never had this problem with Mandrake... Mabye there is a problem to enlarge the kernel output (debug output) on bootup with a lilo option, I never tried something like that though. I tried to upload the entire report.bug, but it is too big for this list, it doesn't get posted. I don't know really which information to post anymore, I've seen so many errors. Simply repack it with bzip2 (bzme does this for you automatically). And to be sure it won't get filtered rename it to report_bug_bz2 :) That worked for me. Else I can only recommand to build an own kernel, using a very primitive kernel cpu (or using your cpu if it is directly supported). Maybe there is somewhere a kernel patch for your cpu.

BTW, once lirc 0.6.6 is out (kernel modules from an unpatched 0.6.5 don't build with linux 2.4.19), I'd think about adding the kernel-modules as sub packages to the lirc RPM (i.e. lirc-serial-0.6.6-Xmdk etc.).

[Cooker] First Time Wizard won't use BB as default

[Cooker] LM9.0: Mozilla Cups printing pbms
Hi
I'm having troubles printing from Mozilla (I have CUPS setup).
When I try to print (using the printer) with the following print command
(untouched from Mozilla installation):
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
I get nothing.
$ lpq
ep870_1_ is ready
no entries
When I try to print to a file the resulting .ps file is said to be
invalid by ggv (kghostview shows nothing).
Note: Printing from anywhere else works fine (incl. printing from my W2K
client boxes). Printing from xpp works as well.
Any idea?
Thanks

All I have to do is a daily check of the situation with troels..., and I don't have the bugbear of having to deal, as an example, with a new -*mdk verion of the 16 MB kdebase every day for over a week, as did happen last month.This releases more time for testing 9.0, the results of which you have seen in my Coooker-posted development concerns and Expert-posted bugs recently. Surely Mandrake could try harder to get things right before uploading them? Even if it means holding them? According to the test philosophy, this is plainly alpha testing, which the book says should be strictly a in-house function of the development organisation, to get products working and working within the environment of some version of the related or dependent or dependee products. No, I did not imply that such a task was easy, it certainly isn't in a world of changing products. All that can probably be effectively done is a successful alpha test of a new product or version running in the environment of the previous version of the related or dependent or dependee products. It is then the beta test that reconciles all these environments. -- Ron. [Melbourne, Australia] IMPORTANT! troels... for ML 9.0 now available. See my web site: http://members.optusnet.com.au/ronst/

But unfortenuately I have 2 IBM-DTLA-307030 in a MD configuration which one of the disks have taken a vacation... Is the IC35L060AVER07-0 ok?, I have two of these I could replace the MD with... So..., 2 of 3 disks may be bad in my case..., very bad IBM!, though the system is still running :)
Re: [Cooker] VIA EPIA 800 C3 processor

[Cooker] IPv6 init completely broken
Hi, as stated in MandrakeExpert as Can't enable IPv6 on Dolphin, it's not possible to enable IPv6. Some further investigation showed that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/init.ipv6-global from initscripts-6.91-10mdk which comes with 9.0 and is still in cooker is totally incompatible with /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6. This leads to the questiong: did anyone actually try to enable IPv6 before that package made it into 9.0??? Well, I retrieved the previous revision of init.ipv6-global from CVS now (1.1.1.1) and that one works fine at least on my box. Regards, -Malte

I keep mine separate as not to wipe out ssh keys and other things. I can change it after the initial install and all is fine, but the installer complains. I asked this and Pixel responded by requesting a good reason for allowing /root to have its own partition. My reason is that it is root's home and I don't want it wiped when I reinstall. I've always worked like that. Who decided that it's taboo? /root on my 9.0 machine is now on its own partition, just as in my other unices. I have yet to see a good reason given for disallowing this on install - to me it's draconian interference. According to Version 2.2 of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), /root is not a requirement - it is optional. However, if the root directory is used, it must be in /. 'root' CAN exist as a link to a directory or as a mounted partition. There. Thanks Bob. So there is no reason why /root should not be on a separate partition - just as I thought. Pixel, can you now change the installer to allow this? I agree ! I had to install a root directory in / and then copy it to a partition called /root !! Well it seems to be a very low priority. I mean you shouldn't use the root account, you should use su/sudo so if you keep that in mind your /root should be rather empty. I think most beginners don't know how to configure their shell so they do what's ``logical'' to them and start customizing the root account. On OpenBSD the default root-shell is csh and a lot of people panic when are confronted with a shell without history and tab-completion so it's a faq where I wrote a document for: http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/change_root_shell.html Most of it applies to any unix. The argument I heard that somebody uses it as a backup: Well you can use another backup-partition and make a dir that is only readable by root. So again I see no clear reason that you _must_ have a /root partition. Not that it shouldn't be possible to have one according to the FHS but it's very low priority to comply with it. But perhaps I am missing something and can you folks present me with a convincing argument that doesn't need multiple exclamationmarks. Groetjes, Han. -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software

If you're not booting in quiet mode, watch for the kernel to finish loading. At that time you should see something like press I to go into interactive.

this is related to running linux mandrake 9.0 kernel 2.4.19 on the mobo specified above. if you can provide any suggestions on getting ECC with your mobo working under this Linux Kernel running in SMP mode it would be highly appriciated. ecc will run under single processor mode, but when smp is booted it fails. ---snip Re: [Cooker] BIOS RELATED - booting smp kernel on dual athlon mp From: Brent Hasty [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2002 22:23:38 -0700 On Sun, 2002-10-06 at 23:01, Brent Hasty wrote: well the lowdown is this the problem was related to enabeling the ECC ddr ram I have in this system. When I disable ecc in the bios the kernel boots without a hitch, if I turn on ecc ram the kernel crashes :( a big bummer since I paid premium for ECC for the obvious bennifit it offers a server. Why is it that ecc would cause the kernel init to hang and reboot in smp mode, but not in single processor mode? I would really like to have my ecc ram funcitioning. Odd. I have ECC in mine (ASUS A7M266-D). It's been enabled and running since day one. You've stumped me on this one. TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger Yeah, very odd. I've got 9.0 up on an A7M266-D and a Tyan ThunderK7 both with ECC and both run like a charm ... I am running the msi k7d-master-L, it will boot with ecc enabled but only in single processor mode. the crashing with ecc enabled is related to smp mode. I will have to share this with MSI. ---snip my mobo is the msi k7d-master+L the spec for the 512 ddr 266 I have is: Samsung m081l64208t1-ca2 part #: n381l6423bt1-c(l)a2 when I get a chance I will have to try a different type and see if it cures the problem. ---snip it seems all the trouble I was having with booting my smp kernel on dual athlon mp, wer bios related. I set the bios on the msi k7d master to failsafe defaults and wal la la... it now boots the smp kernel. Next I tried the bios optimized defaults and tried booting the smp kernel, it again booted withiout issue. I will now go through step by step setting my bios preferences and try to locate the item that was causing the boot failure. More will be posted if the specific item is discovered. ---snip
