I've just upgraded an ASUS A7V133 system with MandrakeFreq #2 and the 2.4.5-5mdk kernel does NOT LIKE the system. It suffers from (I think) the via chipset IDE hang. It runs perfectly on 2.4.3-8mdk which was the last cooker update I did on it (it's on a remote modem, so it's painful to keep it up to date :-( ). The system simply freezes with 2.4.5-5mdk with the ide busy light hard on. I have beaten it pretty hard with the 2.4.3-8mdk kernel and it never misses a beat. Also on the MandrakeFreq upgrade: 1. It re-wrote my /etc/fstab - yuk 2. It did not run the update-menus script. The consequence of 2 is that kde apps failled miserably (I use GNOME desktop) when invoked. I fixed it by re-building the system menus from the control centre. It also seems that evolution-0.10 crashes **very** frequently on imap mail boxes :-( /Kevin -- Kevin J.
