Re: [Cooker] 6Gb Ram
I also just installed redhat 9.0 to test and it does work.. One more suggestion for this group these are hyper threading processors so Redhat shows 4 processors on a dual processor machine. Mandrake is not listed on the os page that supports it. http://www.intel.com/support/platform/ht/os.htm On Mon, 2003-07-28 at 10:11, Ray Carlino wrote: Yep tried that too.

[Cooker] 6Gb Ram
Using 9.1... I have a Dell 2650 servers (9 of them) with 6GB Ram. I tried to recompile the enterprise kernel with 64GB ram support (BigMem) I still only see 4Gb ram.. Any Ideas? I tried Mandrake support and they said if that don't work then they can't help. I called Dell and they said it works with Redhat... -- Ray Carlino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[Cooker] enterprise kernel
I just bought 8 new Dell servers and need to put Mandrake 9.1 or 9.2 on them .. The problem is they have 6GB Ram and the enterprise kernel is only built for 4GB. So as a suggestion can you start building the kernel with 64GB support? And second is there a config file of the enterprise kernel around that I can use to rebuild with 64GB support? I want all of the same options that are built in now but more memory.. Thanks -- Ray Carlino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[Cooker] Mandrake 9.0 and I845G and DMA
I am having same problem with Dell 4500 machines. Is there a fix yet??? I have heard maybe 2.4.20 kernel fixes this problem. Hi all I've got a problem with my Intel I845G chipset (Asus motherboard). I reported this bug in the middle of september. The patch When the system boots I recieve the errors found in "lines from /var/dmesg". In that case it is impossible to activate the dma mode for my ide harddrive. The problem is that I need this performance for burning cdroms or watching dvds. I also tried the patch that I found in another message in this mailinglist, but the same result. It would be great if someone may help me..

[Cooker] Install crashes
I have been installing the betas all along from before the first beta (cooker). But now I am unable to as of the latest build 10-03-2000. The whols install goes thru just fine and then when it finishes the rpms and starts the post install config I get a "segmentation fault: seems like memory is missing as the install crashes" That is from screen F1 and F3. F4 shows "attempt to access beyond end of device" rw=1, want=32948, limit=7168 dev 08:02 blksize=4096 blocknr=8236 sector=65888 size=4096 count=1 This has happend the last 2 days I have updated the files twice from ciril.fr Help Ray

[Cooker] beta 2
I just installed beta 2 and am very disappointed. I had the following problems. I tried both an upgrade from 7.1 and a new install. The upgrade failed because it could not read the partition table created by Mandrake 7.1 The KDE is unusable.. I have been running the betas that were installed to /opt for along time and they ran much better. KDE problem package manager will not run. So I can't use it for rpm installs. Iglooftp will not run under kde2 kmp3 will not run Thats all for now I will keep trying. I know this is beta but I had much better luck with non beta cooker installs. Please don't rush this out.
