Until you ctrl-alt-f1 and make a kernel from the console. Kind of helps if you've already downloaded the .tar.gz's you'll need though.

[Cooker] Readonly NTFS5 partitions?
Is there any way to get read only access to my win2k NTFS partition from Mandrake 8? OR is the NTFS support in 2.4.3 only for WinNT NTFS file systems?

[Cooker] cs46xx and pcmcia_cs
Has anybody figured how why both of this will use interrupt 11? I've tried PCIC_OPTS=irq_list=something without 11 to no avail I had sound as a module and I noticed that pcmcia executes before the alsa sound startup scripts so pcmcia takes interrupt 11 seeing it being free but then I compiled sound into the kernel and the same thing happens. Does anybody on a Thinkpad know why both cs461x and the i(pcic controller) use irq 11?
[Cooker] How is sound setup by default for Thinkpads?
One thing that MAndrake got right was the sound configuration for my thinkpad and since I've had to compile my own kernel I cannot get sound working. I was wondering how they did it. I've seen the /var/log entries that use cs46xx and recognise my soundcard perfectly in their kernel and I've even heard the sound. But I simply cannot get sound to work in my custom kernel (to solve the mouse problems)... I notice they used Alsa in addition to the support in the kernel and I've got the same setup also. Anybody know exactly how the sound was setup in the kernel. Have Mandrake patched their kernel source rpm yet to remove the Ps/2 keyboard code that stops the mouse working? I'd like to grab the rpm if it's available anywhere.
[Cooker] Alsa on a21p?
Anybody got Alsa working with the a21p? I get output from amixer and I can unmute and set volume levels but when I play an Mp3 in XMMS it asks me to check that my sound card is configured correctly. When the music plays in the KDE media player I hear nothing but the meter ticks over ok.
RE: [Cooker] Redhat-7.1 vs Mandrake 8.0
Good luck to them. The trick will be figuring out which patch broke everything. A clear 2.4.3 tarball compiles with mouse support fine on my Thinkpad ... However, Is it possible to emulate the kernel configuration with those sources? Can I just get the autoconf.h and basically build a working kernel for my machine? > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 1:14 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Guillaume Cottenceau > Subject: Re: [Cooker] Redhat-7.1 vs Mandrake 8.0 > > > "R.I.P.

RE: [Cooker] Redhat-7.1 vs Mandrake 8.0
Has anybody figured out what code disabled the PS/2 mice on Thinkpads in 8.0? I can report that the kernel as shipped with 8.0 doesn't detect the PS/2 mouse on Thinkpads and that a kernel compiled from the source rpm's that shipped with Mandrake won't either but that if you grab the latest 2.4.3 sources and compiled from there you'll get a mouse detected no problem. ... Folks have been reporting that RC1 worked with Thinkpads so some patches occured b/w RC1 and 8 that caused the PS/2 mice no longer to be supported by the kernel. I noticed there was some disabled PS/2 keyboard code in a recent April 16 commit notice. But otherwise I haven't investigated it any further. Does anybody have the autoconf.h that it used to configure the kernel that's shipped with Mandrake? I'd like to try it with the 2.4.3 source because I've got a couple of "Failed"'s at bootup even though I have a working mouse and I'd like to see the Alsa stuff and how that was setup too. Cheers.
[Cooker] PS/2 mouse detection on an a21p Thinkpad with Mandrake 8
It seems something changed b/w 7.2 and 8.0.. perhaps the 2.4 kernel is being used in the install process. Anyway, what I've noticed so far. During a graphical install with no working mouse I get to the question about "Do you have any SCSI Interfaces?" There's no way to get focus on "OK" for this question. Initally I can tab and select "No" but I cannot get focus on "OK" ever. I can get focus and interact with the questions prior to this. >From that point on things don't work. ... I've noticed b/w 7.2 and 8.0 XFree /tmp/Xconf gets PS/2 in 7.2 and "Microsoft" in 8.0 Is /tmp/Xconf derived from a process of autodetection or does it give the user an opportunity to change mice later via the graphical installer? ie. is it hardcoded to Microsoft mice now whereas in 7.2 it was PS/2? Obviously because I get stuck so early in the graphical installer I'm not going to be able to set anything to do with the mouse. ... Any floppy images that work with PS/2 autodetection? ... Hope this is clear.
