[Cooker] 7.1 b3 usb zip drive is detected but won't mount
I have had 3 successful installs now but on this machine with my sub zip drive I am having a problem The install finds and sets up the usb-scsi drivers, my conf.modules looks like this --- pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start alias net-pf-4 ipx alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias usb-interface usb-uhci alias scsi_hostadapter1 usb-storage alias eth0 eepro100 pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 /proc/parport/0/irq alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter post-install modprobe ide-scsi post-install usb-storage modprobe usbkbd; modprobe keybdev post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter ; modprobe scsi_hostadapter1 alias sound-slot-0 sb options sound dmabuf=1 options opl3 io=0x388 alias midi awe_wave post-install awe_wave /bin/sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2 options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 --- I also have to do "modprobe ide-scsi" to get cdrecord-scanbus to show my cd-writer and I thought that was taken care of by the "post-install modprobe ide-scsi" line in the conf.modules. What do I need to check to get my usb zip drive working and my cd-writer to be working at startup.

Re: [Cooker] Bad RPMS on EXT ISO (was RE:Problem with Beta 3 ISO)
So why is your beta 3 iso file different than mine, I have had the best install ever with beta 3. not 1 error all the way thru install, everything works correctly when done. A few small customizations and this install is running better than I have ever seen a Mandrake install before and I have been using mandrake since ver 5.3. here I have mounted my iso's in my web server if you want to take a look http://bcc53.bccks.com/mandrake/ you can download the iso from here if you think it will be any better.

Re: [Cooker] Idea for new utility
I think a utility that would ./configure , make , build rpm, install rpm, is what is needed, that way you can more easily uninstall the program and check dependencies of other programs that might need this program.

Re: [Cooker] Rescue ISO?
if you have problems with long line in pico use pico -w to turn of automatic word wrap.

First of all its more emacs-like. Also it's more powerful than pico (which has problems with long lines for example). So i gues the list of editors could be ed, vi , ex, and pico. Please remember that the rescue _is_ a minimal distro, which is only for getting your system back up. it is not a distro for daily use!! so i wouldn't dream if adding more editors than necessary..

Re: [Cooker] Major Problem
I have to do this also, try this while booting your computer, at the lilo prompt type inlinux mem=128M and then see if all your memory is recognized, if it is then you will want to use your favorite editor to edit lilo.conf and add a line like this append="mem=128M" if you already had an append line you will have to add this statement to that line for example append="mem=128M hdX=ide-scsi" the 2 options are separated by a space Ray Fisher wrote: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] Memory Problem I am new to Linux and the Mandrake distro, I have made several attempts at making linux recognize the 128 megs of ram I have.

Re: [Cooker] Problems with Scsi-Emulation (Air)
so if I just blew up my scd0 by using your command line below instead of checking to make sure that it was correct " it should have been ln -fs scd0 cdrom2" how do I get back my scd0? "Guy T.

And Generic SCSI Support enabled? My CD-RW... is IDE-ATAPI... If I'dont recompile the kernel, there'so no way to make it works(the CD-RW, I mean) Air will auto-detect most ATAPI CD-Writers and automatically add a line in lilo.conf to append something like "hdd=ide-scsi" so that SCSI emulation is automatically enabled. Recompiling the kernel is unnecessary, support for this is provided in the stock kernel. Mine worked without doing anything. Is it SCSI or ATAPI? Mine is ATAPI, and it worked fine right out of the box for CD burning. However, I wasn't able to mount CD-ROMs normally using supermount (see below). For some reason my cdburner doesn't seem to like supermount though so I left it out. Mine too: The problem with supermount is actually a problem with Mandrake's installer. Because it is enabling SCSI emulation for your CD-Writer, it should make /dev/cdrom2 (or whichever link corresponds to your CD-Writer) a link to /dev/scd0, but instead it makes a link to /dev/hdd (or whichever IDE drive it is), which makes the CD-Writer unusuable for _reading_ CD-ROMs. Execute these commands: cd /dev ln -fs cdrom2 scd0 (replacing "cdrom2" with the appropriate link) and your CD-Writer will once again be readable, and will work fine with supermount. -- Guy T.
