I have done a clean install of Mandrake 8.1 applied all the security updates. I have the following apache rpms listed below installed and have extracted fp40.linux.tar.gz in /usr/local.

Re: [expert] mandrake 8.2
Hello I had no problem to install 8.0 and 8.1 on my celeron too. The video card i810e gave some trouble as far as multiple sessions were required. It didn't work at on 8.0 but works on 8.1 (one has to change XF86Config though) without DRI. I have tried to install fbdev developed by Antonino Daplas (nice guy!) but it didn't work out as the mandrake kernel didn't accept the patches very well. I am now running kernel2.17mdk that comes with a patch for i810fbdev but I didn't figure out how to enable it. dmesg | grep framebuffer doesn't show a thing which means that framebuffer is not there. At least multiple sessions work with the normal i810.o drive. Not in the conventional way but it works. startx --:1 vt 08 didn't work but startx -- :1.0 does. Why? I hope that 8.2 allows me to have framebuffer on my intel 810e.

Re: [expert] mandrake 8.2
Indeed! what's the hurry. I don't know that I'm going to be in any great hurry simply because 8.1 is the most stable installation I've had to date since Mandrake 7.2. granted some of that is because since 7.1 I've gotten much better with Linux and tend to screw things up less, but still, I've noticed that 8.1 is quite solid and stable in comparison. And I thought 7.2 was very stable. and it was! I'll likely get a copy of 8.2 when it comes out simply because I've got every copy of Mandrake since 7.1 and I would hate to break up the family I'm collecting. Mandrake sits proudly at my fingers reach while my old Redhat CD's are gathering dust somewhere's...ya know? I can't recall just where I _did_ put them.

Hi, Good to see that someone had a good experience with MDK 8.1 on a intel 810. I for one had lots of issues with my CDROM not being recognised till I downloaded the source for 2.4.17 and installed that by hand. I think that devfsd should be optional till it is thoroughly tested.

[expert] Strange behavior of a tulip clone NIC
Hello I would like to know if anybody has an idea on this: I'm using a Netgear FA310TX NIC card (PCI), bought a few months ago. I think the chip is from LiteOn, a Tulip clone. I tried to make it work on a Debian system, with no success (tried the ng-tulip.o module, v0.89k, and the latest tulip.o). When I switched to Mandrake8.1, I had the same problem with tulip.o 0.9.14: insmod OK, ifconfig OK, able to ping my IP from myself, but unable to reach any computer on my lan, including the gateway. It is now working, and the only thing I remember having done is... sndconfig for my old AWE32 ISA. I have no idea on how the sound card thing could have an impact on the NIC card, but at this time I don't see another direction. Can somebody shed some light on this ?

[expert] how to control SCSI disks spin down ?
Hi, All, hdparm is a great tool to control my IDE HD. I'm able to set the spin down timeout, so the disk automatically standby after 30 minutes. But I have also 3 SCSI disks, one running at 1 and not permanently used. Is there any other tool or kernel patch available to control the spin down timeout (and other options) of the SCSI disks ? Most of hdparm functions are dedicated to IDE drives. Laurent. -- Laurent CREPET -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.megrapet.org/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] MDK8.1: make module err: undeclared variable
Hello out there! probably the problem will be located in front of the screen but I can't see what I have no plan what to do anymore: I installed Mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8-26) and tried to build a new kernel. Make bzImage was comiled OK, but when making modules make exited with error: `boot_cpu_data_R65dda927' undeclared (first use in this function) in function `get_pgd_fast', `free_pgd_fast', `pte_alloc_one_fast',`vmalloc' and `pte_free_fast'. When I included the module which had this error in the kernel (e.g. ISDN) I got the same error on the next module to compile. I tried on a different machine...and got the same error! Next I downloaded the mandrake-updates and tried kernel 2.4.8-34 ...and I still had the same resault !!! I attached the output of make modules (makemod.out) and my kernel configuration (newkernel.sav). My system is a Pentium 233MMX with HX-chipset, 256MB RAM and two disks at Promise ATA-100 Controller running as a software RAID-1. It would be great if someone new how to solve this problem cause I reached a dead end. I had Mandrake running for years now and it was always fine, but 8.1 seems not to like my machine (can't go back to 8.0 cause I got install errors due to the Promise-Controller (hardisks not found).

In /etc/pcmcia/config.opts you should see "exclude irq 4", "exclude irq 3", "exclude port 0x2f8-0x2ff", and "exclude port 0x3f8-0x3ff". That should prevent the pcmcia card from getting resources the serial ports need.

They work fine with Mandrake, even the cdrom-card and the xircom-network card simultaniously (which gave win98 quircks). The gsm I use now (alas,the one with the pcmcia got stolen) has a dierct connection to the serial port with an internal hardmodem in the phone, making it defacto an external modem. Using the 'Hayes' standard protocoll works fine under with Slackware but doesn't give the response it should with Mandrake. It probably is a resource conflict, but I can't find the difference in the use of them tween Mdk and Slack at a first check. That's why I'm asking, it's fairly time consuming re-installing again and again so I want to check as much as possible beforehand. In regards to Mdk8.1 install, I got a working install using the 'vgalo expert' option but the result was s-l-o-w due to the 'overweight' kernel. Using the second disk for an alternative kernel doesn't work straight out due to the pcmcia cdrom needing a boot-floppy. There are various ways to get around this methinks but as long as I don't get the modem going it's not worth trying. It's the essential tool in my case when I'm 'on the road' (actually rivers and canals) to keep in touch with my home-network. -- Harm Bathoorn.
