[Cooker] Probs installing 9.0 on an old pentium machine
Hola. In trying to upgrade my old workhorse, a PPro MMX 150 on an Abit AB-TX5 motherboard (No mouse, no bonus), after selecting the text installation, I get a kernel panic at about 50% of Loading program into memory progress bar. The system is equipped with an ne.0 compatible ISA NIC, a 3c59x.o compatible ISA NIC, some S3 trident PCI card with 4 megs, and has 32+64 SIMM, 64+64 DIMM for a total of 224 megs, an 8G HD and a creative DVD rom (recognised by the bios, too, whee) plus two 20 G disks not recognised by the BIOS, but recognised by the kernel (Set to None in BIOS); This with the 'alt0' (2.4.19-16mdk I believe) kernel, while booting the system with text mem=224M and just text.

My first guess would be that it's such an old motherboard not all the bugfixes for the broken (?) chipsets it contains are included in the bootup kernels =( Is there a workaround for this, or do I just simply lose?

[Cooker] Kernel bugs
Having used 8.2 with the default kernel (I know...) for 6 days now I've stumbled on something.. After about 4 to 6 hours of use, I start getting more and more system load. After 1.5 days, my system load is up to 20-ish, and I can't get a root shell no more (!!). Console login doesn't happen inside 15 minutes... Has anyone else observed similar behavior? Let me point out, I'm not running any weird services or using any exotic applications/hardware. As far as I can figure (Without delving deeper into the matter, no thank you, I already do this for work!) it would seem like a problem with the kernel or modprobe. The hardware I'm using is a microstar MB with some VIA chipset, athlon 700. eepro100 for a nic, tnt1 (diamond viper 550) for display adapter. An old HP cd-rw using ide-scsi.o. Also, using the stock kernel nets me a kernel panic (!!) if I try to switch to another console early into bootup.. (Whose idea was it to make the boot process quiet by default anyway? ;) -- /\| Kimmo Hovi [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign | BEng (Comp Eng) / EViTech X Against HTML Mail | M.Sc (Tech) Student / HUT / \| GSM +358 40 7678610 Commercial email policy: http://www.hovi.org/mail/
[Cooker] 8.2 ?
Where exactly is 8.2 final located? All I'm seeing is rc1 images with a 17.3. late in the evening-timestamp? -- /\| Kimmo Hovi [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign | BEng (Comp Eng) / EViTech X Against HTML Mail | M.Sc (Tech) Student / HUT / \| GSM +358 40 7678610 Commercial email policy: http://www.hovi.org/mail/

Better yet, provide it on some other sites so that others can try it. /incoming directory is not readable :( There we go. Didn't know/notice the incoming directory was not readable. You can get both the source rpm and the binary rpm from http://www.hovi.org/linux/Mandrake Note that the current rpm still contains the 'default' menu which hasn't been updated in ages. Working on that. All the RPMs appearing there have been signed with my RPM signing key (Also found at the same place).

[Cooker] AfterStep 1.8.11
I just uploaded AfterStep 1.8.11-2mdk source rpm. Working on updating the default start menu. Sadly none of the active developers use the default menu (wonder why ;), so it's ages old. Wonder if this will be included in 8.2 -- /\| Kimmo Hovi [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign | BEng (Comp Eng) / EViTech X Against HTML Mail | M.Sc (Tech) Student / HUT / \| GSM +358 40 7678610 Commercial email policy: http://www.hovi.org/mail/
