Try booting from floppy, then inserting the first CD just before it is required. This worked for me under similar circumstances with an old hp server (6xRAIDed SCSI HDD, SCSI CD_ROM). I had to do without the (DAC960) RAID controller as the EPROM version was too old and I didn't rate my chances of getting a compatible set too highly. Cheers; Leon

[Cooker] Cannot install cooker (or 8.2) on IBM Server PC 330
I am not able to install cooker (and 8.2) on "IBM PC SERVER 330". The error is :cannot find cdrom. I tried to load all availables modules but no one worked. IBM PC SERVER 330 has got scsi controller with ibm raid feautures. How can I install ? Maybe I have to do a custom boot image with ips.o module ? Regards, Miguel Beccari
[Cooker] Cannot Install Cooker
Greetings! I cannot install cooker on my system. It gets to "Select Language" and hangs. Here's my system: FIC Pentium board with Cyrix 6x86-150 24MB RAM 2x Creative CD-Rom (the old Soundblaster Interface CR-562) NE2000 clone NIC Buslogic SCSI II Controller and two SCSI-II drives ISA VGA Card (AVG1 generic with 256k) 1.44 Floppy Anyone run across this problem before? I'd love to try the new Mandrake but it won't cooperate. Sincerely, Jim Darrough [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clipper.net/~jed If you have ICQ you can message me.

After mirroring again /base and /mdkinst from ftp.sunet.se I managed to finish the graphical installation of Cooker. This downloading business of mirrors is like a tight-rope dance; one small step aside (=corrupt or missing file) and you fall :-) After experiencing DrakX I can proudly show this to my doubting friends who maintain installing Linux is too difficult for the average user. Thanks a lot Pixel & Co.! Tapio

Re: [Cooker] Cannot Install Cooker
I downloaded the new files in /base + gi_hd.img. Wov, Gold is a worthy name for this piece of art! I can now go so far as to partitioning and mounting. After rebooting the partitions are there but the mount points have disappeared. I give the mount points and reboot; again the mount points have disappeared, etc. in a loop. If I do not reboot, I get: mount failed. I install Custom. My 13.2 Gb disk is: 2.0 Gb vfat (/dev/hda1), 2.5 Gb vfat (/dev/hda5, contains /Mandrake), 15 Mb /boot, 1.5 Gb / and 64 Mb swap, the rest empty. I also tried without /boot, no success, mount fails. Tried Recommended and auto-partitioning but failed as above. The not yet updated boot.img is still a mess; after trying to read from /dev/hda5 there is a blue screen and /tmp.raid0.o: a module named raid0 already exists /tmp.raid1.o: a module named raid1 already exists and all the processes are killed. Alt-F2 shows: exec: No such file or directory Alt-F3 shows: going to insmod raidx(0, 1, 1, 5, 5) (path is NULL) Alt-F4 shows: ATAPI device hdc: Error: Not ready -- (Sense Key=0x02) Raidx(0, 1, 5) personality registered Why does it try to read from CD-ROM? I'm installing from hard drive. I have no problems with Mandrake 6.0 when installing from cdrom. Sorry to answer so late, but there are the time zones... You are working when I am sleeping and vice versa.

Here the problem is with NE2000PCI module that cannot be installed... Once installed cooker without "network" I can compile the kernel with NE2000PCI as a module and it works. Another thing, how egcs can be used instead of gcc2.95.2? I think that this is a great thing to have two compilers ( with egcs I can compile xcmail and xclasses without problems ) Bue Alessandro

Think i must have a look for sure. ok ;) Quick question/sugestion question what are the differences in securtiy ie what do they change? Windows, low medium high paranoid sugestion put descriptions in the install so the user knows what the different options do

BOOT10 and BOOT 5 I think I am not positve so don't quote me on it! I'l have to reboot and try the setup and see for sure. I ended up just compiling the 2.3x kernel (not for the faint of heart!) with scsi support. but I think boot5 is the the kernel on the boot disk

OH almost forgot the latest installs for the grahpical install complain about the aha152x module being compiled for the wrong kernel. :)

The problem is if you ask to install kernelcfg. It requires kernel and both hackkernel and kernel-2.2.13 provides it. And the nasty code takes the first :( i must do something about it, but i don't know what yet :( (the same problem exists with postfix&sendmail too)

[Cooker] Cannot Install Cooker
I have an Abit BP6 with 2xCeleron 366 (not overclocked when installing), 64 PC100 SDRAM, Quantum Fireball CX 13,2 Gb (2.0 Gb Win98 vfat = /dev/hda1, 2.5 Gb vfat = /dev/hda5, the rest empty and reserved for Linux), Matrox G400 DH, Mitsumi CR-4802 CD-RW drive, nothing special. There have been three unsuccessful attemps at installing Cooker from Local Hard Drive d: (/dev/hda5): a) Using gi_hd.img there is the error message "Error creating RAM disk" b) Using boot.img after I select /dev/hda5 and / the installation exits and kills all the processes. c) I install Mandrake 6.0 without any problems from CD-ROM. When trying to update this to Cooker from /dev/hda5 I get again the above results. Is this a Cooker problem or has it something to do with my Win98 partitions? Tapio
