[Cooker] bug report: major gotcha with PDC20276 (Asus P4B533-E) on 9.1b3
Hi all... here to report a problem... On Mandrake 9.0, my Asus P4B533-E refused to install from the CDROM (and yes, they're known good CDROMs - I installed them on other machines). After loading and detecting the hard drive on the ATA133 controller, the CDROM drives suddenly disappeared and could no longer be accessed. Any attempt would be met with No valid CDROM device found. Just downloaded and burned ISOs of 9.1b3. Everything seems to go fine in the install after picking the languages and whatnot... then it asks if I have any scsi interfaces on the system. I choose yes, then arrow down to ataraid.o... it says it found a scsi interface using ataraid.o, then proceeds to tell me there are no valid devices to install filesystems. (My hard disk is on the PDC20276). It then goes into a loop - keeps asking for the scsi driver, tells me it was loaded successfully, then says no devices were found. It's really depressing that I've had to use Red Hat 8.0... I miss my Mandrake... but can't get any of the newer releases to load on this motherboard. --Alexander

I've noticed it first here testing 9.1 but on my 9.0 and 8.2 boxes as well smb gets stopped nmb reports failed then once killall starts up it then again attempts to shutdown smb and nmb again. This is no show stopper I think I submitted the bug as a p4, but inevitably the user who has the least understanding (or capability to understand) is the one who panics when they see the FAILED in big read letters. Probably a misconfigured samba and the fact that we start/stop smbd and nmbd together. So, /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stops smbd, tries to stop nmbd and fails (was not running or had a name conflict or something like that), and since both killprocs did not succeed, it does not remove the lock file, so it is run again. this is the hard part. Since I'm in a shutdown situation how do I check to see if the lockfile is getting removed or not. I guess we should put a check in to see if nmbd and smbd are really running, but it may be better to leave the error so the user knows they have something to fix? This is the thing... what is the fix. Samba is working quite well so I'm pretty sure the config is good. (printing shares etc are solid.) I really don't do much more than use samba to print on a windows box at home. SuSE has split their init scripts for samba into one each for smbd and nmbd, mainly to allow an nmbd restart (to reregister in WINS for example) without killing smbd (and the connections). But it makes complications ... I would rather add another option to the script that just restarts nmbd ... but I have never had this problem, so I do not have a setup to test ... killall -HUP nmbd always worked for me. As I said there is no real problem here. other than the hassle of explaining to the users that this isn't a real problem. What I really need is a way to pump startup and shutdown info to dev/null so that my experts don't see it *grin* Buchan

I'll send the info ASAP. Frederic gave me the real reason for this problem in private email. Since lots of people seem to be having it, here it is: Since the pcmcia service starts pcmcia network adapters, there's no reason for them to be started by the network service. Hence /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-ethX entries for PCMCIA network cards should *NOT* have ONBOOT= set to YES. Set it to NO instead (ONBOOT=NO). This will stop network from trying to bring up the interface; pcmcia will do it instead, and this ought to solve the problems. -- adamw

[Cooker] [Bug report]: Bad KDE keyboard behavior in mdk9.0
Hi! I've been using Mandrake for ages and being not a big mouse user rely on the keyboard a lot. I always use the default Shortcuts keyboard bindings provided by Mandrake, as I found them convenient. After performing an Expert / Update only packages upgrade to 9.0, I found the following behaviour that I consider broken: Once in a while, in a .txt or .tex document displayed in the Embedded Advanced Text Editor Component, in Konqueror, PageUp and PageDown will not work (which is _very_ irritating). All other document navigational keys will work (including Shift+PageUp and Shift+PageDown). I once got 2 Konqueror instances displaying txt document side by side, one with PageUp/PageDown working, the other not. When it does not work, opening other text documents in the same Konqueror instance will not make it work. Starting with a fresh Konqueror instance usually solve the problem. Once in a while when walking through windows with Alt+Tab and ending up in a Konqueror displayed html document, navigation keys (PageUp, Page Down, Home) will not work. You have to click with the mouse in the body of the html document for them to start working. It is an intermittent problem. Thank you to follow up FD

The detection also failed after installation using the Control Center (No printer found!). And there is no option to manually select the printer from a list. I had no problem with version 8.2 3) I installed Openoffice.org with rpmdrake, together with the _es language rpm. But the interface did not change to spanish, it is still english. Should I do something additional here? 4) The .ps and .pdf files produced by Openoffice.org with the print-to-file option seem to be corrupted. I cannot see them with Kghostview, gv nor Acroread. 5) After installing some extra packages many applications dissapeared from the Kde-menu. They returned misteriously after a while. 6) In general, everything feels slower than with 8.2. I have a AMD-K6 box with 128 Mb RAM. 7) There is no exit option in the blackbox menu 8) Gfx. configuration does not work in Xfce. 9) No menu entry for eroaster after installation with rpmdrake 9) I found a rpmdrake message like this Por favor, espere, contactando al sitio de replica para INCICIALIZAR. The last word should be INICIALIZAR. Ok. I hope this helps. I'll try to test RC1 or RC2. Thanks for all your great work. Muyfeo __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Cooker] Bug Report: Failure attempting install of 9.0RC1
OK, it's kind of a pain in the patootie to change out the processor on this machine, but I'll do it one more time since you've been so helpful. I can certainly capture /proc/cpuinfo for you, but I'm not certain exactly how (mostly when) to blow away the /mnt/lib/i686 stuff. At what point in the install, exactly, should I switch over to the command shell VC and delete those files? --Bob On Thu, Sep 05, 2002 at 05:01:41PM +0200, Pixel wrote: Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Bob Drzyzgula [EMAIL PROTECTED], Juan Quintela [EMAIL PROTECTED], Gwenole Beauchesne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] Bug Report: Failure attempting install of 9.0RC1 From: Pixel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 05 Sep 2002 17:01:41 +0200 In-Reply-To: 20020905102038.E18874@www2 User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.2 Bob Drzyzgula [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [...] First, as to the chroot suggestion, I mentioned to you privately yesterday (I meant to reply to the list but didn't), every time I tried to do a chroot on this machine it would fail with a SIGILL. it must be VIA C3 being declared as i686 and glibc using /lib/i686/* optimised libraries. can you test doing rm -rf /mnt/lib/i686 after glibc install during install. can you also give /proc/cpuinfo? gwenole juan, can you have a look at this pb?

[Cooker] Bug Report: Failure attempting install of 9.0RC1
Following my previous attempts to install Beta4, I downloaded RC1 and tried to get them to install. I posted a report of my previous attempts, and all the hardware information is the same as before so I'll leave it out here, except to say that it's a Shuttle SV24 with two UDMA drives, a CD burner and an LS120. Short version: XFree86-4.2.0-25mdk fails, and I still get the dreaded mkinitrd failure at bootloader.pm line 64. The main difference is in how I burned the ISOs. For Beta4, I used a Plextor SCSI CD writer, IBM CD-R media, and xcdroast on a SuSE machine to burn the ISO. For RC1, I used a Windows Server .NET Beta (essentially WinXP) machine with an IDE burner (Same kind as is in my Mandrake target machine) and Nero 5.5.9.9, writing to Prism brand CD-RW media. In both cases, the md5sums on the ISOs checked out OK prior to burning. With RC1, I started out by trying a recommended install, with no options to speak of. I let the installer pick the partitioning, filesystems, and package selections; I didn't change anything, just made the simplest and most obvious choices, like letting it use the entirety of hda to install on. The process gets through to the package installation, but things go bad and I get a Failure installing XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586, Go on anyway? dialog. Checking VC4, I see the following (transcribed by hand, so typos would be my fault...): ... * getFile xinitrc-2.4.4-67mdk.noarch.rpm: * getFile ORBit-2.4.1-2mdk.i586.rpm: * getFile libORBit2_0-2.4.1-2mdk.i586.rpm: * transactions done, now trying to close still opened fd * getFile XXX: * bad package XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586 * opened rpm database for retry transaction of 1 package only * rpm transactions start * getFile XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586.rpm: * transactions done, now trying to close still opened fd * getFile XXX: * retrying installing package XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586 alone in a transaction * opened rpm database for retry transaction of 1 package only * rpm transactions start * getFile XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586.rpm: * transactions done, now trying to close still opened fd * getFile XXX: * retrying installing package XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586 alone in a transaction * opened rpm database for retry transaction of 1 package only * rpm transactions start * getFile XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586.rpm: * transactions done, now trying to close still opened fd * getFile XXX: * retrying installing package XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586 alone in a transaction * opened rpm database for retry transaction of 1 package only * rpm transactions start * getFile XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586.rpm: * transactions done, now trying to close still opened fd * getFile XXX: * bad package XFree86-2.4.0-25mdk.i586 unable to be installed. Note that this happens every time I try to install Mandrake 9.0 on this machine. It happened with Beta4 several times in several different install configurations (same hardware), and it's happened in RC1 twice now. Always XFree86-2.4.0. So I say to go ahead anyway, and again I got the dreaded mkinitrd failure at /usr/bin/perl_install/bootloader.pm line 64.

[Cooker] Bug report-Beta3- drakconnect - Wireless opts lost
When a wireless pcmcia card is fitted after initial install the wireless configuration gets corrupted. 1/ Install Mandrake with pcmcia wireless card - All wireless opts stored in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 OK. Card works. Wireless card can be hot swopped with Ethernet card later without any reconfiguration. Works real nice. 2/Install Mandrake with pcmcia Ethernet card. LAN parameters stored in ifcfg-eth0 as expected. Replace LAN card with wireless card, and go through the wizard of drakconnect to input wireless parameters. On clicking 'Finish' to the wizard wireless parameters are written to ifcfg-eth0 and wireless card works. But on clicking 'OK' to exit drakconnect the original ifcfg-eth file is written back again and wireless card stops working. 3/ If drakconnect is exited with'Cancel' instead of 'OK' the wireless card continues working, but hot swopping does not work because the wizard insists on saving the MAC address of the pcmcia card in ifcfg-eth0 and will reject any other card. derek

Apologies if this is already known, but it is such a nasty bug I thought I had better raise it. Using yesterdays Cooker I used MCC to add an NFS mount point. The detection of remote shares and the mounting worked fine. Only trouble is when it added the entry to /etc/fstab it also deleted the first line of the table which happened to be my root mount point. Nasty! I have replicated the problem. It has now done it twice in succession. Thanks derek

[Cooker] Bug Report: Rocket Port Driver needs to be updated
Hi, The Comtrol RocketPort driver (1.14c) in Cooker is 9 releases old and does not work well with current hardware. (e.g. RocketPort/PCI) The module loads and works for the most part, but ports randomly lock up or sometimes pause for ~60 seconds and then start sending again. This caused me a lot of grief at a client site where I was upgrading to 8.2 from SCO OpenServer 5. The latest version of the driver (1.23) works fine and is available at: http://support.comtrol.com/download.asp or more specifically, here: ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/RPort/Drivers/ISA_PCI/Linux /V1_23/1800024D.tgz -Steve Bergman

It allows me to start the install, pick language, partition the HD and pick packages to install. then the computer reboots (cold boot sequence) and starts the install again. hardwware description: Aberdeeninc.com system. Intel Chipset, Intel Celeron 533mhz processor, 128m Ram, 40 gb hda partitioned- hda1 is a windo$e partition (20gb), hda5 is a Linux Native (19gb), hda7 (I think) is Linux Swap(.5gb). Motherboard (Intel Black Pine 810) is an all-in-one type. The boot sequence does not allow me to edit the BIOS, so I cannot edit the boot sequence, it is strictly an AC (fda, hda) boot.

[Cooker] BUG REPORT - dtc driver is incorrect for Domex SCSI card
HI, I have posted this also to MandrakeExpert, but on reflection it might be better here. I have a Domex DMX3194UP SCSI Adapter which claims to have as its vendor DTC Technology Corp. During an install the dtc drivers will be loaded and report an error. I get around this by added 'another' SCSI card, but loading the initio drivers, which work fine. This is not new to 8.2, it's hassled me in 8.1 and earlier, also in RedHat and SuSE (I think). I've known about it for a while, so, sorry for my tardiness in not letting you all know sooner. This is partly due to the fact that there is no automatic way to report this error. During the install I do get an error message, but this does mean me looking at the page with Alt+F3 or where ever and then noting it down on a bit of paper for email, somewhere later. I suspect that I might have submitted a bug report sooner if the error mesage had been output to a file and I was given some clear instruction, as to where to post the bug report. -- Colin Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] Bug report: postgresql rpm packaging
Greetings,
There are a few minor issues with the rpm packaging of postgresql.
1. Under the description of the postgresql-tcl package it says:
The postgresql-tcl package contains the libpgtcl client library,
but it appears that this library has actually been broken out
into the libpgtcl2 package.
2. Because the library was broken out, the postgresql-tcl should
have the following requires line:
Requires: libpgtcl = %{version}-%{release}
3. The libpgtcl2 package has been given an explicit requirement
(with a Requires line) of tk. This is incorrect. The package
only should require tcl, not tk. (And, in the same vein, the
description of the package should be modified to take out the
references to tk) By requiring tk, since tk also requires X
it makes it very difficult to install on server machines that
don't have X installed.
Cheers,
Tanner Lovelace

Hello everyone, I have been a long time RedHat and SuSE user, but after I got frustrated with these two and MDK 8.1 having Kernel Panics on my new laptop, I tried MDK 8.2 b2, since it was the latest Linux release. And I must say I have been sold. MDK is the only distribution so far that has the necessary user-friendly and graphical elements that make Linux compete with Windows. My favorite feature is the 1024x768 16bit framebuffer boot screen. Very nice! However, I also found some buglets, which are all not crashing the system, but they are bugs: 1. I have an internal as well as a wireless network card (PCMCIA). The installer gets confused about that and gives me also the wireless options for the regular network card, which in return causes wlan.c not to be found for the regular card. In fact, it is so bad, that I cannot even proceed with the install. If I start the install without the PCMCIA card inserted, everything comes up fine. 2. My wireless network card (Linksys WPC11) cannot be activated. It also shows me something at the start saying that some license does not exist for the Kernel module or so. RedHat recognized and initialized this card without any problems from the boot diskette. 3. It seems that the Aurora files are missing for 8.2 b2. After I installed the 8.1 version of the packages, everything works just great. 4. The antialiasing support does not seem to work correctly. I know that it worked just great on my old VAIO F390 and RedHat, but on this one it just does not do the antialiasing effect correctly. Is there a laptop option that I have to set somewhere? 5. The USB driver does not seem to work correctly with my Plextor PlexWriter 24/10/40U CD-RW. It recognizes the drive but can never mount. The DrakeConf also decided that this drive would be the standard drive to load further components from the CD-ROM. Since I could not specify which drive it should use, I had to create a symlink to the other device to make it work. DrakeConf really should use /dev/cdrom and not /dev/scd1. I have not even attempted to get my USB network card running. 6. I would like to see a nice touchpad driver, where I can define scrolling, back-and-forth in the browser and so on, since I think that makes the touchpad so attractive. To have this gone under Linux is a bit of a pain. 7. Even though there are some problems with the NTFS driver for Linux, I would still like to get to my Windows files from Linux, even though they might be read-only. 8. When probing for SCSI during installation, my printer receives a signal and prints three characters on a page. Other than that I am very happy and once my beta testing version of VMWare arrives (and with some cool 512 MB RAM there will be no problem), I might switch to Linux all the way. The high-quality Drake* tools are definitely better than SuSE's YaST 2. Mandrake 8.2 is very suitable for the VAIO PCG-FXA49. It immediately detected the right graphics card, soundblaster, printer (that never worked before with my HP OfficeJet 720 - I used the 710 driver) and all other gadgets.

Re: [Cooker] Bug Report for MDK 8.2 beta 2 on Sony VAIO FXA49
on VMware the 3.0 build 1455 work fine on 8.2 beta2.(3 VM NT, 2000 and NT on a 512Mb) Just reinstalled it on my Desktop recently. got a small complaint on the version of gcc but does compile fine. Only issue I have, is parport0... before I was able to use the bidirectional parport on the PC now with 8.2 beta 2 I have to use only the std parport wich is a bit slow... parport0 is either busy or not existing depending on how I try .. any idea on parport0 device ?

Re: [Cooker] 2002-02-14 Cooker Bug Report
But doing this can trip you up too, cause restarting the daemon often causes the cupsd.conf to be reverted to the generic one (with browsing on). You either need to add the line CUPS_CONFIG=manual to the /ustc/sysconfig/printing file OR do a chmod a-x to /usr/sbin/setcupsconfig. Maybe a tweak of the cups daemon script? This is compulsory if you dont use printerdrake to setup printing. (Which I dont - cause I cant get it to work unless I setup printing during the actual install process). Hamster Can you check the permissions of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf? To turn of browsing manually add the line Browsing Off to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and restart the CUPS daemon (service cups restart). Till Claudio wrote: *) KUPS / PRINTING MANAGER IN KCONTROL Configure Cups server always produce an error: error while loading configuration file. So no way to disable the fucking cups browsing...

[Cooker] Bug Report: Apache suEXEC misconfiguration
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION suEXEC is misconfigured on Mandrake 8.1. I believe the problem needs to be fixed at compile-time. Furthermore, it dies in such a way as to be VERY misleading. To repro, do this: 1. Add an ExecCGI option to the /~userdir/ directory in your Apache config file. For Mandrake 8.1, have it look like the following in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf Directory /home/*/public_html AllowOverride All Options MultiViews Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory Notice I've added ExecCGI to the Options line, so that I don't need put my CGI programs into a $HOME/public_html/cgi-bin/ directory. I can just name my CGI programs 'filename.cgi'. 2. Create a simple CGI program in your ~/public_html/ [dereks@dev public_html]$ cd ~/public_html ; cat ./foo.cgi #!/usr/bin/env python import sys sys.stderr = sys.stdout print Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n print htmlbodyWTF/body/html [dereks@dev public_html]$ ./foo.cgi Content-Type: text/html htmlbodyWTF/body/html [dereks@dev public_html]$ Note that (a) the CGI program prints the correct header and newlines, and (b) that it executes from the commandline as user dereks AND as user apache (although that's not shown above). 3. Now visit your CGI program and watch it fail: Hit http://dev/~dereks/foo.cgi and get - Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.20 Server at dev.xxx.com Port 80 - ...and then look at your error_log and see this: [root@dev public_html]# tail -n 1 /var/log/httpd/error_log [Mon Jan 21 14:50:57 2002] [error] [client 192.168.0.187] Premature end of script headers: /home/dereks/public_html/foo.cgi This is VERY disturbing because my script headers are FINE! If I were somebody new to CGI programming, who did not have the confidence to KNOW that my script is correct, I could waste a TON of time trying to figure out what the problem is. In fact, it is a misconfiguration in suEXEC. I noticed this in the Apache FAQ: -- * What does it mean when my CGIs fail with Premature end of script headers? [content deleted...] In addition, a configuration problem in suEXEC, mod_perl, or another third party module can often interfere with the execution of your CGI and cause the premature end of script headers message. -- Unfortunately, the fscking FAQ doesn't say WHAT configuration problem in suEXEC could cause this error message. WORKAROUND Disabling suEXEC fixes the problem. suEXEC can be disabled by simply renaming the suexec binary and restarting Apache: [root@dev public_html]# mv /usr/sbin/suexec /usr/sbin/suexec-DIST [root@dev public_html]# service httpd restart Shutting down httpd-perl: [ OK ] Shutting down httpd: [ OK ] Starting httpd-perl: [ OK ] Starting httpd:[ OK ] Also, I found the following in the suEXEC documentation: -- APACI's suEXEC configuration options [content deleted...] --suexec-userdir=DIR Define to be the subdirectory under users' home directories where suEXEC access should be allowed. All executables under this directory will be executable by suEXEC as the user so they should be safe programs. If you are using a simple UserDir directive (ie. one without a * in it) this should be set to the same value. suEXEC will not work properly in cases where the UserDir directive points to a location that is not the same as the user's home directory as referenced in the passwd file. Default value is public_html. If you have virtual hosts with a different UserDir for each, you will need to define them to all reside in one parent directory; then name that parent directory here. If this is not defined properly, ~userdir cgi requests will not work! -- I don't know what they mean by you will need to define them to all reside in one parent directory. Also, I don't know if the problem is that, or if it is simply not defined properly at compile-time (thus breaking the RPM binary).

[Cooker] bug report printing
hi cooker, there is a serious pb with the printer set-up in DrakConf. Use mdk 8, printer = lp (no cups, and not installed) The printerinstaller doesn't recognize the rhs-printfilters and there are several errors in the printtool prog. (error messages) One of the error messages said: no rhs-printfilters package installed, but on the setup it comes up. Has checked the permissions = ok. tests doesn't run. Lpd daemon loaded of course. My printer is a 815C (same as 810C ??) and is detected as a HP 810C. But this driver doesn't work !! I have to delect the HP 550,600... series, THIS worked in the past. If I select this one printerdrake refuse it and continu with the HP 810C. So, can't print at all. There were no pbs with 7.2. eric MC
[Cooker] BUG REPORT for 8.0-beta installation (26/03/2001, via hd.img)
Hi all! I've just made a clean cooker installation on my home-pc. Many things have been adjusted as I can see! Well, that's my bug-report... --- DURING INTALLATION --- 1. Possibility to use or not to use SuperMount 2. Possibility to boot from raid-1 software should be possible building an initrd.img with "--proload raid1" option and passing lilo the axact number of cyl/head/sect of each hd 3. Installer now let me make Raid partition, let me install on it but I get "kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:00" when booting-up. 4. PINE: not found between packages and not installed in 2.200 MB!!! I had to install it by hand later... 5. Installer report WRONG cyl/head/sect fot primary-master hd. I may solve it passing "hda=xx,xx,xx" to lilo while booting up. Should be a kernel problem with VIA chipset anyway... 6. kde-i18n-xx isn't installed by defaul (neither ispell-xx, aspell-xx) 7. locales, on the other side, is too installed: [claudio@monster claudio]$ rpm -qa |grep locales locales-2.3.1-7mdk locales-it-2.3.1-7mdk locales-he-2.3.1-7mdk locales-th-2.3.1-7mdk locales-zh-2.3.1-7mdk locales-ko-2.3.1-7mdk locales-ar-2.3.1-7mdk [claudio@monster claudio]$ 8. Cannot finish MODEM configuration during install: clicking "OK" just do nothing. It's OK for my ethernet card anyway... 9. Hard-disk is not unmounted after installation process, so "check forced" is runned at first startup. 10. While booting-up a FAILED message appears: cannot write /etc/X11/gdm/session/KDE [FAILED] 11. Some problems with environment variables, like PATH: [claudio@monster claudio]$ ls bash: ls: command not found [claudio@monster claudio]$ rpm bash: rpm: command not found [claudio@monster claudio]$ export PATH=$PATH:/bin [claudio@monster claudio]$ [claudio@monster claudio]$ rpm -qa |grep netscape netscape-communicator-4.76-2mdk netscape-common-4.76-2mdk [claudio@monster claudio]$ rm nothing.null rm: impossibile rimuovere `nothing.null': File o directory inesistente [claudio@monster claudio]$ 12. Still KDE use antialias by default!!! Please, recompile RPM with this option off!!! 13. Missing WindowMaker, Xfce... Now, I'm gonna use the beta and will let you know some other problems. Anyway things seem to get better and better each day! ;o)) Bye, Claudio -- System: Linux Mandrake (8.0-beta) Kernel 2.4.2 on Dual Pentium III - 800 MHz 256 MB Ram - Raid Level 1

strange, i have:

!has_mntpoint("/boot", $hds);
Well, I think it's a delicate point.
I mean: raid (even software) is asked me when I install linux on any server.
People love redundancy, even if it costs 2 hard-disks. I always use
Linux-Mandrake, for I suppose you give the best distribution all over the
world, for each category of installation. I use Mandrake since the first
release (I was coming from redhat 5.2). At first NONE in Italy did know
something about that "Mandrake". Now, Mandrake is much more apprechated that
any other distro, as I can see on Italian mailing-list, at university and so
on. I've introduced Mandrake in server-side in many places, I can show you
the output of an "uptime" that reports how a PC is running 5-6 servers like
DNS, WWW, MAIL, FTP, SAMBA, ROUTING etc. etc. since (open your eyes...) since
7 of August! ;o) I mean: zero reboot since 7 August, that's the power of
Linux and Mandrake, just I show it when someone tell me that mdk is not
stable like slackware, for example.
Now, many people ask me for some clusters. For redundancy. The first form of
redundancy is that my beloved software-RAID-1. OK, you'll say: build raid-1
while installing and play with your system. That ALMOST correct, except for
the fact that I HAVE ONLY ONE /BOOT PARTITION ONTO A SINGLE HD!!! So, what is
raid useful for? If the hd with /boot breaks, the system is lost! :(
So I found an interesting document at:
http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-01-07-020-20-PS-HW-SW
which explain in a very simple way "how to boot from a software raid-1
partition". I think that ReiserFS+Boot_from_raid_1 would be the TOP for a
Linux system. I mean for non expensive system, obviously!
The document explain how to set up that raid-partition and how to modify lilo
and initrd.img...
Do you think it'd be possible to realize such a dream?
;o)
P.S.) I'm warned about the fact that I cannot make a system without a
non-raid /boot partition! That's why I'm writing this mail =:-/
Hard-disk is not unmounted after installation process, so "check forced"
is runned at first startup.
which partition?
/dev/hdd1 (I use hda/hdc for raid, hdd is a portable-disk that walks between
home and university! ;o))
Bye Thanks for listening!

[Cooker] bug report : Mandrake 7.0 Air 2.2.14 kernel
Hi all, I would like to report a bug. The PLIP module of the 2.2.14 kernel doesn't work at all : the connection seem to establish, icmp packets are sent when you ping the hosts each other (you can see the amount of packets sent and received growing in ifconfig), but nothing comes back. Reading the news, i saw this problem reported as a bug in 2.2.14 kernel, the one used in 7.0 Air. 2.2.15 is not ready by now so i had to reinstall the 2.2.13 kernel of Mandrake 6.1. on both boxes. It works fine but i lost a certain amount of new functionalities (as automount). Another problem i had was that on my Toshiba Satellite 2610CDT, the original PCMCIA module hangs my laptop at boot time :-/ Didn't solve the problem yet : just removed the daemon. But i'd like to use my PCMCIA ports ! ;-) Please reply to : [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] Bug report : PCMCIA detection on Compaq Armada notebooks
I just installed Air on some Compaq Armada Notebooks and I have freezes when trying to detect PCMCIA devices (either in the beginning of the install and at late network config). I triggered that on an Armada 1750 (PII 300, 128MB RAM, 4GB Disks) and on an Armada 1574D (P233MMX). The PCMCIA chip is a TI 1225 on the 1750, I think it the same on the 1574D. Please have a look at dmesg.log attached.

[Cooker] Bug report on M6.1
I have been using Mandrake 6.1 for a day or so and have found a couple of glitches. First problem: -- There is a font file named : /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttfonts/beast wars.ttf As you can see there is a space in the filename. This filename is literally begging for trouble. It took me alot longer to get the true type fonts working on my M6.1 system because of this file. The problem is that if you add fonts to that directory and then run : ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale; mkfontdir; The process will create fresh fonts.scale and fonts.dir files that xfs does not like a single bit. Infact it hates it. :) xfs will not start the next time and this will prevent a successful startup of X. There are a couple of other font files in that directory that generate error messages : dienasty.ttf and ikarv.ttf I dont know how fatal those errors are, but I removed those files immediately also. Second problem: --- This is a minor one. There are 2 entries in the /etc/group file. cdwriters::64:: cdwriter:x:80: Someone is obsessed with cdwriters. And they put an extra colon in the first entry to show their affection. :) Thats all for now. Oh and we all know that pcmcia stuff doesn't work for installs. The worst bug in my opinion is the Netscape bug, where most of the keyboard shortcuts dont work. I have been told that it is a feature, but ack! its a horrible feature. I know there is a workaround but please understand that you are confusing the hell out of people who haven't discovered the fix. Mubashir
