[Cooker] [panoramix] Still can't install - stage2.img problem
The short answer is: No don't mirror and burn yet... I sync'd up and burned my CDRW, booted from it to install, and never got past "initializing CDROM". Using ALT-F? I saw the tail portion of a log which read: mounting ram3 on /tmp/stage2 as type ext2 creating directory /tmp/stage2 rc=0 calling mount(/tmp/ram3, /tmp/stage2, ext2, -1058209791, (nil)) removing device file /tmp/ram3 method selection completed symlink /tmp/stage2 failed error in exec of the second stage loader :-( error: Not a directory I hope I copied that down right...

[Cooker] [Panoramix] [Install] Bugs: Packages without Help/Description/Info [Moderate]
Some of the packages, particurlarly those which can not be deselected are missing help information. Perhaps it is because I can't deselect them that I can't figure out how to get the required packages to display their info/description. Or perhaps this text hasn't been written. In either case, it'd be nice to see the Package Info for all packages, and if no package information is available, then I'd like to see a message like: "No Package Information Available"
[Cooker] [Install] Question: ide-scsi? Emulate SCSI for ATAPI CDROMs?
I have an ATAPI Ricoh CDRW. In order to get it to work under M6.0 (unless you know something I don't) for the purposes of burning CDR's and CDRW's, I had to recompile the Kernel, turn off support for ATAPI CDROMs and turn on support for ide-scsi SCSI emulation for ATAPI CDROM drives. Is there any reason why we can't ship a kernel configuration with this as default? Are there any problems associated with making all ATAPI CDROMs emulate SCSI? What do you lose by using ide-scsi? Alternatively, could the default Cooker kernels come compiled in with modular support for ide-scsi? Supposedly there is a lilo directive for telling the kernel to use ide-scsi for specific CDROM drives.
[Cooker] [Panoramix] [Install] Bugs: Can't run most things after Install
After getting through the full panoramix driven install and booting straight to X, I couldn't execute most of the icons located on the desktop. Clicking on Netscape did nothing. Linuxconf complained "Couldn't run kdesu" gimp and Mandrake were similar.
[Cooker] [Panoramix] [Install] Bugs: No eth0 after install (3Com 3c905b)
I went through the install. Configured local network support. And on booting had no eth0 for my 3com 3c905b. Possibly related: during the install, I had problems with having a partition that spanned the 1024th cylinder. And ended up skipping the install of the bootloader and just creating a startup disk. What information can I provide that would be useful in tracking down the problem?
[Cooker] [Panoramix] [Install] Request: Notify of packages dependencies
When you select a package that has dependencies, it'd be nice if a window was popped that showed you which packages were being added due to dependencies. It is hard to tell what you are really adding when you select a package for install.
