How do I fix this? Just reformatting the partition during install or sometkhing else? It's probably OK to format as I don't have anything I'm terribly upset to lose on that partition anyway.

This is confirmed as far as i'm concerned. Setting the DNS server as a space (you can't set it to nothing, it autofills) makes it work fine, providing the correct DNS server address causes the segfault. The modified image whose address you posted to the list doesn't change anything. Whew, good to have located this at last =). Any chance of a fix, or are we just using IP addresses instead? :) Now I have to decide whether to mess with my working SuSE on the laptop and install Cooker instead...decisions, decisions :).

OK, you're absolutely right. When you remove the DNS server, it brings up the network just fine and asks you to tell it the name of the computer. When you put the DNS server in, it crashes.

None of the Well at initial debugging stage I did it myself with a special network bootable version of the stage1 (using grub network boot feature with tftp transfers); now that it's almost stable when I have trouble I try to add some logging message to help me understand the origin of the problem, try to fix, test again, etc. For that problem, since I don't know where the origin of the problem could be, it's almost impossible to blindly put some logging messages, ask you to test, retry, etc.. > virtual terminals give you access to a console.

Re: [Cooker] install problems
OK, my relevant extra info: Theories about differing versions in Cooker, beta 1, from different sites don't really wash IMO because I have the same problem with the 8.2 network bootdisk; can others having the problem check this? It seems some people with the problem use 3Com cards, but i'm afraid i'll have to shoot this promising line down, since one of my systems on which it fails has a Genius PCMCIA card (uses the pcnet_cs module) and the other had some no-name card when I tried, I forget what module but it wasn't 3com. Our network setup - we have an ADSL connection which comes in through an ADSL modem / router (D-Link brand, I think) at 192.168.1.1 and is passed to a router / gateway (ActionTec Wireless-Ready Home Gateway) at 192.168.2.1, into which our systems (between two and five, depending) are plugged; on both systems that failed I tried DHCP and static IP addresses with the same crash. In the spirit of scientific enquiry, next time I try it i'll throw our new wireless LAN cards into the mix. =). Damn, hope we can fix this sometime soon; as I mentioned i'll try the install again when beta 2 comes out, to provide further info on my problems with both floppy and CD installs... -- adamw

Is easy to do with existing tools: 1. To disable bootsplash, simply create a new section in lilo.conf which is identical to the one with the label 'linux' and change the label to say 'nobootsplash', 2. if you want to see the start up messages, just remove the quiet option in the append line, again in lilo.conf. just my 2 cents, Dave

Just to be sure, can you once the install has start remove /usr/bin/ddcxinfos and replace it by a directory with the same name (to be sure DrakX will not get it back). And can you try again, please use expert just before X configuration. François.

Agreed, that card has been a problem since I first started using
Mandrake. It's a Mandrake problem, I've tried at least 6 distros and
this is the only one with it, but I happen to prefer Mandrake to RH,
Suse, TurboLinux... even three different Debian distros including
pure Debian. It took up to 7.2 to fix it before, why let the same
problem come up again, and how many releases before it's fixed? I'm
tired of being unable to do a clean install and risking all my data on
an upgrade even. Not that I don't have everything on my cooker partition
backed up, but it is rather a pin repairing and restoring every time.
That is a very common card, but maybe I should get an nVidea instead..
if a PCI version exists.

The odd thing is, I could install X in the first beta of 8.0, although with three overlapping images. Avoid framebuffer, that's an idea. I still have a noframebuffer lilo entry for an older kernel, I could try it on that and hope for a more graceful exit than a freeze if it doesn't work. I don't understand why I still get drakx in an expert text install though, surely that should be newt? -- Anna

RE: [Cooker] install problems with DrakX?
I fully agree with you. I have the same problem, and it seems either nobody
is interested to solve this old problem or there is no solution. The problem
seems to be the S3Virge (86C325)

I'm bringing up a question or two on this because although it's not the
same problem, there are similarities. P200MMX, 3.3GB HDD, 160MB RAM,
S3Virge 86c325 graphics card with 4MB video RAM. X cannot be installed
in 8 at all, any version. Even doing an expert text install, along comes
the graphical DrakX and the whole machine freezes solid. At least a
graceful crash is preferable to having to hit reset and use fsck in the
hope of being able to rescue your data. By doing an upgrade from 7.2 I
can get a working X server, but I still have the freeze and rest, and
then the manual fsck before I can get X working.
When is this going to be fixed? I've used every version of Mandrake
since 7.0 and the only one that would install a working X server without
freezing was 7.2. Could somebody maybe compare the code and produce a
patch? This isn't only an installation problem, after installation the
only way to change anything that would normally use drakx is by editing
the conf file by hand, because drakx freezes the system any time it is
used.

for my attempt at installing using hd.img, I get:
(Alt-F1) ...
install exited abnormally :-(
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
unmounting file systems...
/proc
/tmp/hdimage
you may safely reboot your system

I guess I would prefer to do a network install. That's more or less the same
output, except that it warns about mount being older than kernel (or
something like that). What bothers me is that there are no error messages?!?
It just says "install exited abnormally :-(" with no explanation. That could
be improved, IMO.
p.s. Dunno what it's doing with SCSI subsystem? No SCSI in that hardware, but
I guess that is just a standard (install boot) configuration?

Did that, but it still comes up with the DrakX. Is that normal? Also tried
"text expert", asks more questions but ends up in the same problem state.
Hmm, I wonder if the newt support is "damaged" somehow? I'm pretty sure I've
used it on one of my other small (32MB) systems. I'll try it again, soon.

The last thing in the Alt-F3 log was the "running ...af_packet.o" before it
shutdown. I was guessing that might be some attempt at an error message?

32MB, so a "live" install (cdrom, hd, nfs) should work according to the docs.

Comics Hello, Just a though, I have had problems with installing, and the problems were about the same, but I was not able to finnish the install. What I found out is I had two drives on the same cable, and one was UDMA 66 and the other was 33. For some reason this causes problems with the install, but not with operation once I managed to get in installed?? I removed the second drive and all installed well, then I adjusted the partions around after the install. Hope this helps!!
