It's a problem with the new IDE code in the recent kernels; Andrey's patch to change ide-scsi's behaviour no longer works, so we have ide-scsi default behaviour, which is to claim all ide drives that aren't otherwise claimed - so our CD-ROMs are being made SCSI as well as our CDRWs. Workaround for now is to add this to the append line in lilo.conf (or whatever bootloader you use): hdx=ide-cd where x is the letter of a drive you want to remain IDE. -- adamw

Re: [Cooker] beta 2 review up
hi, flexible). Unfortunately beta 2, just like beta 1, overwrites your previous boot configuration. You have been warned... fixed in cooker [...] found them in the previous beta: the USB wheel mouse configuration problem is still there (keyboard blinks, mouse freezes and the computer has to be reset), hopefully the switch of kernel in next beta will help :-/ anyway, if you send me /root/drakx/report.bug.gz, your mouse will be nicely configured by default. there is no indication of what stage of the installation is going on, fixed in cooker and individual package selection is disabled. fixed in cooker Also clicking on the Previous button at any point during the installation does not work, many are fixed in cooker and there is no choice of bootloader or even to disable LILO installation. no bootloader will be available. choosing bootloader was already there in beta2 in the bootloader entry in summary One thing I found was great with 9.0 is that it could properly detect and configure my kernel to use my CD-Read/Write ATA drive.

Come on this has been reported more than once. The problem is, if time zone is correct (and it often correct is if correct locale has been selected) there is *no* place where Set local time to GMT and/or NTP sync are mentioned in summary. You must click on time zone to see them ... but if time zone is correct nobody clicks on time zone. So nobody even knows such options exist.

Quoting Ed Wilts [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Doesn't surprise me. XFree was just patched a day or two ago to allow G400 support. You can either get the latest XFree (-11mdk) or download the driver from Matrox's web site. Well, Ed, beta 2 already includes XFree -11mdk. Hopefully it will be fixed in 4.0.3-1mdk.

Without wanting to waste bandwidth, I agree that some acknowledge of bug reports is necessary (even to say that the bug report is not reproducible, or useless). to be fair to us, I think most of the time we do. we post "fixed" or things like that for most bugs we address. sometimes, what we don't do is repeat for the 10th time the same answer, when guys are not in sync with our previous replies. we know that it would be hard to follow everything due to the big traffic but sometimes we are *that* lazy we prefer to actually work rather than post a 10th same-message. -- Guillaume Cottenceau -- Distribution Developer for MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

I just finished that, and it went without any problem. I have nonetheless a remark concerning individuall package selection in expert mode: Some popup windows do appear when there are potential dependencies problem. But the packages shown are often weird. I give just some examples : does DrakConf really depend on lestiff ? Does xscreensaver really depend on umb-scheme ? I don't think so, but when i tried to deselect umb-scheme, the window listed xscreensaver. Even weirder : the xscreensaver didn't got deselected ! Globally, i think the dependency gestion gives not a good impression: sometimes the windows proposes to remove packages which are not even selected (a simple check could arrange that i think), sometimes packages are show to be removed, but are not effectively. If latter the program discovers that the mentionned package cannot be removed, then those packages should not be shown in the first place. Maybe i didn't fully understood the dependency system. In that case, please forgive me for my remarks. Pascal Grosse
Re: [Cooker] Beta 2 available
I would add that the title of the popup window is always the same: those packages will be installed/removed (this may not be the real message, but i translated from french). So we don't know if the mentionned packaged will be installed or removed. Or maybe some will be installed and some removed ? A more precise indication would be nice here. Pascal Grosse

Detected a Matrox G200 card, presented resoultion options, and then failed test. Tried all different res cmbo's for my monitor and card, none would work. Decided to ignore it, finish install and reboot. I had tried the configuration of the video card too (XF86 4.0) but it actually kicked the install back to the beginning. Was able to reboot from hard drive, but got a string of error messages while booting into X. Rebooted and tried to reinstall X from Upgrade choice, but couldn't. rebooted in to Linux, and started noting missing librarys. Using MC and rpm --force, copied following libraries to Hard drive: libXiso6 libX11so6 lib Xmu so6 lib font.so1 I ran into the same set of problems.
