[Cooker] Boot stalls at "INIT: version 2.83 booting" [pieter78]
Hi, Finally I installed the final version, now with this problem... RC3 stalled one line earlier (freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed)... dunno how to solve this (except RH8 maybe ;-) ). Any ideas. Btw: you know more about this stuff than I do... sound on my desktop (final version) is just shit, very much noise... RC3 had no problems on this. Where can I fix that (using kde)? Regards, Pieter

[Cooker] USB Mouse problem [pieter78]
Hello, I'll have another try, problem is still not solved... I am using USB mouses in RC3, that are not automatically recognized (they were during install) If I mess something in Harddrake / mouseconfig as a user, unplug and replug mouse, and log out, it suddenly works during my next session, but if I log out, everything suddenly stops again. (as a root, I have never been able to use my mouse) Harddrake keeps saying it is a ps/2 or serial, although I entered "microsoft explorer" or "wheel" in the usb category. Any idea how to solve this?

[Cooker] USB mouse(s) have very strange behaviour [pieter78]
Hi, This question is for my desktop-system: I am using 2 usb-mouses, 1x Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical, 1x Wacom Graphire. RC3 recognized the ms-mouse perfectly during install and I worked fine with it. Then, in kde it does not work. Mousedrake/mouseconfig does not really change anything... in Harddrake it is either known as ps/2 (psaux) of serial (the ttsy-something).. never as usb. But... if I boot Linux, unplug&plug the ms-mouse, mess something in config and log out (autologin enabled), then suddenly it all works (wacom included, without extra driver, my compliments for that)... until I log out again (or restart) then everything is disabled again... as a root, I have never worked with the mouse, and as a user, only sometimes - if I am lucky, because I do not now what exactly triggers it to work. I am doing some sort of ritual dance, at least it looks like it when I read all above... why can't it work normally ALL the time... I might try with disabling auto-install, if I knew where to find that... And saving the session does not make any difference, I noticed... This is really annoying, does someone have an answer? Regards, Pieter

[Cooker] eth0 (isa pnp 3com 509 nic)
Hello all my current place is that eth0 fails during boot, after boot doing a modprobe 3c509 and the eth0 is working, but not like it should. No ip address assigned if i do that manually (even if the adapter needs dhcp) i can ping outside my network. But dns (even if i entered nameserver in resolve.conf) doesnt work. So im getting a crippled eth0, and no Internet connection. While i think it should work ?? regards, Pieter

This isnt a powersupply problem, this is system does perform well but it seems that somehow the install process has completely lost its marbles.(faling to come up with any rpms for me to select for install). Fic SD-11 is a bad board i killed 2 of those, and generally operating any Athlon system on a 220W or 250W is a gamble or u have a _really_ good one. Please other users i have tested this setup there is nothing wrong hardware wise, all devices function propperly under wind*ws.

I'm sorry ure so misinformed about the Via chipset, the KX133 is the 1st generation of its kind, this one is a 2nd generation AMD chipset based mainboard, check out reviews on SlotA.com (the KX133) while it does boast gains in benchmarks the superbypass enabled boards keep up with it in reallife benchmarks (or even beat it (in case of the setiathome benchmark).

No install what so ever. The thing that does work in is the harddisk mounting. Is there a failsafe option for me to try ?
