[Cooker] ls120 and ide-floppy (supplement)
ok. i finally got it working with some gritting. added the "hdc=ide-floppy" into the grub menu.lst and then had to use the "command line" and NOT the kde floppy icon (kde floppy icon is a script file but which one can specify filesystem type etc...makes life easier when one can use this icon!) but, I can only mount the ls120 as "root" on command line prompt: mount -t ext2 /dev/ls120 /mnt/ls120 I also formated this floppy with: mke2fs /dev/hdc1440 The ide-floppy module appears to be loading fine now (along with ide-scsi) (lilo was unhappy with these 2 commands in it's lilo.conf! @#$@#$) now for the task of reading msdos and vfat on this ls120 drive. - My ICQ#: 36645898 - Created with Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com

still having problems with ls120. seems that it's just a requirement that the kernel must get rebuilt for it to work. i did take note that the ide-floppy.o wasn't loaded, so even after a modprobe ide-floppy didn't activate it. also, ls120 seems to work best with umsdos if one is working with both ext2fs, msdos, vfat(?) pixel, in your last post on this issue you stated something about the following (in lilo.conf? ...no using grub :)) "disk=/dev/hdd bios=0" if anyone knows a quick fix, please let me know...even tho' i don't use it much, when i need a file to written to floppy, would like to use it! email me 'cause i'm not on the list, yet.

[Cooker] Install errors --only some
INSTALL: After doing an "expert upgrade" and selecting the packages, i got an error "Error-- rebuild rpmrebuilddb.9 already exists!" (to resolve alt/ctrl/f3 or f4 or something to command and del/rm the file within the given folder location). Installs fine after i del/rm the file. INSTALL: Minor bug =- graphical install bar showing current install ratio is incorrect when doing a hdd (hd.img) install (guess the install goes much faster than the bar is calculated for..used to slow cdrom speed...lol) SCSI Detection: my scsi card aha152x (1520b) is having problems with detection in all cd.img installs. including when trying initiate the install from the dos cdrom boot files. so tried cd.img/cdrom dos/blank.img and still no-go. (the blank.img simple blanks my screen on a graphical and think the results were teh same when finding the aha152x from the blank.img as well...did use my own kernel img (or vmlinuz/bzimage). (guess your right, would be nice to do a ls120 image diskette maybe with all modules as well...lol) KDE/KFM: When opening kfm (kde folder) to /mnt with an audio cdrom inserted (in my scsi cdrom...probabely ide as well), the enter o/s will freeze when opeing the /mnt folder! (think most who work with audio already know about thissomething with the kernel needing re-compile to include support for the audio file formats). MICE: Would be nice to see both ps2 and usb mice configured on install/upgrade. (usb mouse has a wheel on it) LS120: Umsdos file support is available on default kernel upgrade. #> mount /dev/hdc /mnt/ls120 /dev/hdc: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type #$@#$@#...guess i have to recompile my kernel here to include ls120 support again(ide-floppy...think it was). as such, ls120 (ide-floppy) doesn't work on install. (fyi: tried vfat,ext2,msdos as well...this looks like the upgrade didn't take notice of my ide-floppy...as usual, will probabely rebuild my kernel sometime to fix) Overall, I am highly impressed with the speed at which mandrake is improving. this version (of course installed using the "expert > xfree40 option when presented(got's a geforce!)) is much peppier than the last 7.0. The xfree4.0 does flash several times abnormally @ startx (i have the o/s starting it automatically). Also, it detected my Saitek usb mouse which is connected via an externel (not-self powered, generic) usb hub. This mouse is part of the G2 gaming pad (www.saitek.com) and is connected to the G2 pad via a custom cable and then G2 is connected to the generic usb hub. The copy/paste mouse menus are nice. The kernel also detects the Umax 2200 scanner via scsi connection. Whether or not it works, i still have to find out. The re-working of the KDE Menus is nicely done and more organized then what the defaults are! only thing is, i was much use to finding all the prgs within the confusing menu.

Re: [Cooker] power off on shutdown
funny, i've been gently complaining about this but what i did previously is rebuilding with "make xconfig" and enabling the option (poweroff at shutdown feature) and only the other apci (i think it's called), and rebuilding from there. if i check anymore than 2 of the options under "APM BIOS OPTIONS" then the "power-off @ shutdown" feature fails. wierd and seems to be just a conflict with features or something. -APM BIOS SUPPORT -Make cpu calls when idle -Power-off on shutdown are the ones i've got enabled in xconfig.

Re: [Cooker] A Downside to Having More than One Linux O/S's on the same harddrive/computer
mmm...good idea...tho' with the newer kernels (ls120 fix etc, a very necessary fix in my case), sharing a /boot would delete the theology of doing beta and having a stable o/s on the same hdd then. you would have to rebuild the kernel at different intervals still. yea, i've got lilo install on "hda" and not into the "hda1" and "hda4". installing it to "hda1" and "hda4" seperately and using something like bootmagic (powerquest) as an overall chooser of the "stable mdk 7.0 o/s" and "7.1-2 mdk beta/cooker)", I would imagine would solve the overall crises... ...seems like this is the best solution to this, tho' a bit messy in my opinion...i'd just rather have lilo booting windows, mdk-stable, mdk-cooker partitions/operating system's. modules? don't understand completely, but yea,, that's teh "main" issue. if they don't load, nothing works... my single lilo install try's to do both o/s's and this is the result..

[Cooker] A Downside to Having More than One Linux O/S's on the same harddrive/computer
I've got more than 1 linux-mandrake 7.0 o/s's on one hdd. hda1=my main stable linux-mandrake 7.0 hda3=windows hda4=beta 7.1-2 mdk o/s when doing lilo, it complains that bzImage isn't present when in beta o/s or it complains that vmlinuz isn't present from my stable linux mdk o/s. it's very ackward & if it (the o/s) isn't initialized properly by lilo, modules won't load correctly and also usually including the system.map won't load. Any Ideas on this? This would mainly pertain to "us beta testers" with the mandrake cooker since having a stable mandrake o/s is usually why we're also doing beta on the side. Hence, 2 o/s's on one computer. btw, when i now do "shutdown (poweroff)" the 7.1-2 does actually "auto-power-off on shutdown"! finally! Also, its' nice to be able to finally make a ls120 rescue diskette after installing! -- My ICQ#: 36645898 - Created with Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com

[Cooker] ...more bugz
1. Sblive doesn't work. Configuring with DrakConf results in: "modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/modules.dep (no such file or dir) 2.2.15-0.28mdk and 2.2.15-0.28mdksmp are the ACTUAL NAMES! workaroudn (copy folders and rename them) doing so resulted in a "ton" of "unresolved symbosl". 2. My usb mouse doesn't work. It's connected by an externel usb hub. (probabely not until 2.4 kernel?) 3. X crash when trying to open cdrom folder? (have 1 scsi cdrom & 1 ide cd-r) 4.

[Cooker] Finally installed...
Some initial observations: - Have Creative Labs Annihilator Pro (Nvidia Geforce DDR) and the install of the beta 7.1-2 i cannot setup the x-server at that time. It displays no resolutions and can't find any even tho i change the monitor/video card types. To work around, boot the fresh new o/s and reconfigure it using "Xconfigurator". Works fine but unknown if it used a config file for nvidia geforce or generic svga. - Nice printer setup, tho i did connect my printer by usb cable now (to save irq's), but will try the Brother - HL1240 setup sometime by quickly attaching the parallel cable. - LS120 floppy drive works nicely! glad to see you guys finally engineered the small kernel fix for it. although this is only initial veiws. - Don't know if the sblive is setup right yet. Usually on boot-up the line-up activates signifying it's active. Have to look at this more. - Yea, install by way of a scsi cdrom (using adaptec 152x interface) will not work at all. But i can configure it w/o further problems when the install process is activated. you still cannot install from it tho since the new cdrom.img (7.1-2) won't find it (aha152x=0x340,11,7)so install by ide cdrom and then once the install process is started (keyboard config, setup prefs, etc) then have the install process detect the scsi interface.

Re: [Cooker] Day 8 and...
AH! Finally, i burned a new floppy from the 7.1-2 iso cd-rom. (cdrom.img) and booted with the cd-r in my ide-cdrom burner. Although it would be much faster to install it by using my scsi-cdrom (readonly drive, 12x), but this cdrom.img has a BUG with the adaptec 152x scsi interface! (see prev posts). Well, with the new cd.img and the install cdrom (7.1-2) in my ide cdrom burner (4x) it will now take me to the partitioning part of the install process and will list/show both hdd's! 'cept, i put off d/l'ing & burning the new ext cdrom until now.

Re: [Cooker] Beos....
not to start an argument but to enlighten slightly: just email beos tech support and was advised the "beos" doesn't work with the latest h/w such as the geforce vid card. in linux, i have no real problems with newer h/w unless it's usb, which the 2.4 kernel will resolve. "be" has no support for this stuff yet. the high-point i think for "Be" is that it does a nice job from what i hear with video. but h/w support is limited and the s/w is very "thin". of course, most of us that have been using linux for awhile already know this if they "poked-around" w/ beos. hope this helps.

[Cooker] FYI: Secure kernel install
1) Installed the "secure kernel" to a single pentium, and it installed it as a SMP. 2) Also, cenral time (US) is set when not logging into the X desktop. But once in X desktop, the time is set correctly. 3) Also, is there a webpage or doc listing differences between the normal kernel an secure kernel? -- My ICQ#: 36645898 - Created with Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com

2 bugs (or hinderences) when setting up remote lp!! 1) Printtool SHOULD recommend to setup a hosts.lpd or hosts.equiv file on the linux machine with the printer 2) When setting up/specifying the printer on the remote computer, you only need to enter the "printer name" and not the whole string as, "/var/spool/lp".

Re: [Cooker] trying to log in X/KDE/etc
Well, negative on the x init scripts. re-installed all the rpm's for X including the xinit.rpm. I can log into root kde/gnome as root. And it will start the Enlightnement as user, but will not start kde/gnome/failsafe by startx/kdm as user. It will simply "kick back" to kdm/xdm. Get allot of "AUDIT" errors in the xdm-error log concerning user trying to login and localclient not being able to log in (to the respective desktop). weird. i'm ready to just re-install. would be easier that trying to track this at my end.

[Cooker] ls120 and desktop icon for floppy
Well, looks as if supermount ain't going to work for me. As such, need the old "floppy mount" program for the kde desktop. It was in the 6.0 version and had more menus rather than just an entry for the "/mnt/fd0". One could specify the mount location, filesystem type, etc. instead of having to do it command line or in linuxconf. What's the name of it, and where is it located? is the specific item still in 7.0 and just not used? Thanx. Atleast i can mount the ls120 now. Just difficult w/o supermount -- - Created with Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com

[Cooker] ls120 and hdd optimizations
BTW, it does appear that the ls120 is able to use the hdd optimizations (since it is an ide drive). Am i correct on this? The one stipulation is that the drive does NEED to have a disk in it at "startup time" of the mdk o/s, or else it will return an error during the hdd optimization script. (Would require sometype of scripting to enable hdd optimizations on mount? -or supermount for those that have this working w/ the ls120.) If hdd optimizations does not work, then there should be a script checking to see if one has an ls120 drive as to avoid an error on boot. (of course this script would just be for looks)

I have a ls120 10 centimeters away from my left hand, and it works quite nicely?! anyway, there are a lot of pb with ls120: mkbootdisk fails (needs adding "disk=/dev/hdd bios=0" and replace the root=/dev/fd0 of the "rescue" label (usefull?)) i've patched DrakX to work more properly: good entry in fstab (with or without supermount), mkbootdisk handling is now ok. If only mkbootdisk'd work :) i wonder what is the best solution for this nasty ls120? i wonder if anyone ever use it partionned. Seems strange kernel handling as for me. It'd be better on fd0 This is what happens when i try it with supermount: [root@unknown /root]# ls /mnt/ls120 ls: /mnt/ls120: Input/output error [root@unknown /root]# Clipping from /etc/fstab /mnt/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom1 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 #/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 ext2 auto 0 /mnt/ls120 /mnt/ls120 supermount fs=ext2,dev=/dev/ls120 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/home1 ext2 defaults 1 2 localhost2:/home/roger /home/roger nfs user,exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1 (the supermount stays after i rem'd/commented out the supermount check script in "mandrake everytime") Now if i change it to "/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 fs=ext2 0 ", i can mount/umount the ls120. don't why supermount shouldn't work tho' on the ls120. and here's a clipping from my /var/log/messages file (if it means anything): Mar 16 12:51:40 PAM_pwdb[625]: (kde) session opened for user root by (uid=0) Mar 16 13:02:34 kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 2, asc = 3a, ascq = 0 Mar 16 13:02:34 kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 1b, key = 2, asc = 3a, ascq = 0 Mar 16 13:02:34 kernel: hdd: The drive reports both 126222336 and 0 bytes as its capacity I also tried turning off hdd optimizations in the "mandrake_everytime" script but didn't seem to help one bit. The kernel 2.2.14-15mdk has been recompiled to include all necessary modules instead of "as module". The "supermount.o" check in "mandrake_everytime" had to be commented out/rem'd out to not check for this module. I can supermount my 2 cdrom's tho'. (one ide-scsi, and one scsi w/ scsi adapter). Another error i get is a "Segementation Fault" when checking as command line w/ "ls /mnt/ls120". At this point it usually "locks" the o/s and will not umount the /mnt/ls120. Only hope is to umount each /dev/hda* and not working about the /dev/ hdd (/mnt/ls120) until shutdown. Maybe smp and the above configuration is conflicting with this device somewhere causing me not to simply, "change the desktop floppy icon url and fstab"? This is weird. In the cooker (prior to release of 7.0 and 7.0-2) the ls120 was detected and worked on supermount (i'm sure it did atleast work!). After i erased adn did a intall of 7.0, nothing, didn't work.

[Cooker] My final error/bug list for kernel problems
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 .
