The errata page now indicates this as the first item on the page. Until we
know more, I'd recommend that anyone with an LG-based CD-ROM do a network
install if at all possible rather than a CD install.

Thanks for your report and sorry for that. This is astounding. I hope Juan can advice us a workaround, and soon fix it in the kernel... -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

(from mdk > 8.1 to 9.1) Had to do the same here with two different drives, one a JustLink-badged AOpen CRW4852, one an acient 32x brand-x horror. I suspect complicity by the onboard IDE controller (MSI nForce2 mobo) because the JustLink did an install OK on a different machine. BTW, it's nice to have the nForce LAN and video drivers from the PowerPack CDs, NVidia's drivers don't play nicely with the default combination of kernel and compiler. Must be time to petition NVidia to Open those again. Cheers; Leon

Did it really died, or can you use it with hdc=nodma as i'm obliged to do for years with my LG model HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8240B ? (from mdk 8.1 to 9.1) Stef -- signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This issue is being tracked (ie on the maintainers list), but the people at Mandrakesoft haven't had much confirmation (I think you're about the 4th reporter now), and it's a bit difficult to test workarounds ... (and I don't know if they have managed to source a device to test with).

Have you still got such a machine running with Mandrake 9.1? I guess it's time to note this on the errata page and/or notify other common haunts of Mandrake users (Vince, when can I point the folk at pclinuxonline.com to some official notification of this issue?).

[Cooker] I just installed Mandarke 9.2 Download edition on a IMP PC 300 PL, and it FRIED the CDROM drive
I tried to install the Mandrake 9.2 Download edition on a IBM PC 300 PL witch has a LG CDROM CRD-8400B and the cdrom was death before it showed the panel to select the packages. I never seen this before so I assumed it was a cdrom problem. So I removed the cdrom drive connect it to another computer and it doesn't work any more. doesn't even turn the ligth on. In my company we have several of these machines so I removed a cdrom from another PC 300 PL machine and connected to this one, just to see if i could finnish the instalation. It just fried the second cdrom drive also (LG CRD-8400B) I realized that the new mandrake just cost me to CDROM drives. I couldn't believe it. So I went and got a new drive this time from a diferent manufacture and more recent. This time everything was fine, and the installation was executed with no problem. Another thing the machine had mandrake 9.1 installed there, and at never had problem with the CDROM drive. -- ___ Luis Antonio Ferreira Alves email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] aim-lalves yahoo-lafa_home icq-5061305 [EMAIL PROTECTED] url: http://finalpoint.homeunix.net DB2Everyplace http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/db2/everyplace/ ___
