[Cooker] [Bug 2014] [Installation] Installer freaks out when selecting these packages
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2014 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-29-08 18:26 --- No activity has been seen on this bug since 20030221 and it is still in UNCONFIRMED state. This probably means that the information provided was not clear enough, or that the bug is not valid anymore. Please test and confirm that this bug is still valid with the latest cooker version, or close it. --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-10 02:28 --- I just posted to bug 1894 which I think is similar. This problem DOES still exist in 9.2 RC2 It occurs when: - a package is selected which has dependencies - the Dependencies list pop-up window appears - the user selects OK before the information box (hidden under the pop-up window), has refreshed with the information from the package in question. Since the pop-up box is immediate and the information box can take up to 15 seconds to update, it is very easy to jam the system this way if you are clicking packages you know you want installed! This one definitely needs fixing! -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: If one of these packages where selected 'individually' the installer would hang for a while and then (after some mindless clicking on things) the installer would go back one step to the package-group selector: - frosenbubbles - kdevelop - openssh_server - automake - gcc-c++
[Cooker] [Bug 1849] [Installation] Problem installing packages
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1849 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-10 02:29 --- I just downloaded RC2 and tried to install, and faced similar difficulties. I see though, that there are a couple other threads talking about the package problem (2014, 1849, 2344, 2488) Mandrake 9.2 RC2 I choose full install. Went to individual package selection. When selecting some packages, a popup with dependancies window appears which has an OK and a CANCEL button. A timing issue is apparantly one factor on this bug. I initially simply clicked OK when the window popped up and (for a number of packages, but not all) the machine froze for 30 seconds or more, finally dumping me back into the package overview screen. Later I noticed that the pop-up window appeared often, way before the information box to the right had updated. After I noticed this and specifically waited until the information box (partially covered by the popup window) had updated before clicking the ok button, all proceeded as expected. (In fact, I just tried again to install - my first attempt failed due to too many errors with package installation - I can confirm that if I carefully waited to see the infobox update before clicking 'ok' I had no trouble. Clicking OK sooner leads to freezes, and a dump back into the first package screen.) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Going to the select specific packages during the installation routine, then clicking on the two arrows in a circle (the show all packages button), I noticed this bug when installing packages with requirements. If one does a minimal install then selects all the packages one wants this bug should appear (I tried it 5 times, 3 of which I got the bug). When the requirements box pops up one can click ok or cancel. If the bug occurs one can click the ok button and nothing will happen, and sometimes when one clicks the cancel button (when the bug occurs) it will go back to the group package selection page. Also when clicking on back in any of the screens after the group package selection but before package installation any changes made manually to the packages selected will be erased and all packages in the groups selected will be selected for install again.
[Cooker] [Bug 2669] [Installation] Could not uncompress second state ramdisk.
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2669 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-08 02:04 --- I posted over on bug 1611 because that's what came up when I did a search. I have the same problem except that I have no idea what the kernel messages were. In my case, I seriously doubt there are hardware errors on my computer. I get the same problem with several different CD drives, and trying to install Mandrake RCs are the only place it happens. I did not post this error during betas or RC1, because I have an hpt374 ide controller and never got close to second stage until RC2. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: When trying to install 9.1 RC1, I get the following error and then the computer just freezes: Could not uncompress second state ramdisk.

[Cooker] [Bug 880] [kernel] Can't boot because of HighPoint HPT370 RAID
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-01 01:37 --- I'm just wondering why this is resolved. I posted what was origionally bug#789 and it was sent here as a duplicate of this #880. The fact remains that I still can NOT install Mandrake 9.1 on my machine with a hpt374 controller even though the drives being used are connected to it as ATA133 and not RAID. If I'm still at a dead-end on even installing, I'm curious as to why this is 'resolved'. --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: I just installed Mandrake 9.1 Beta 2 and after install I can't boot it. The only thing I get on screen is some debug info and some error message about /dev/hde.

Mandrake 9.0 boots just fine on the same computer. The BIOS version is A9 and the BIOS version of HPT370 is 2.34.

https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-17 22:15 --- I remembered I hadn't re-flashed my bios after an incident last month, so i just tried the beta3 again with the new bios (with the hpt374 updated to 1.22a). I got MUCH farther this time. I still couldn't install because it said I didn't have a CDRom (even though it was reading from the CD !?!?), but I checked in the logs, and it had found my hard drives just fine! --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: ASSIGNED creation_date: description: I just installed Mandrake 9.1 Beta 2 and after install I can't boot it.
