[expert] Problems, dma_intr, crc errors, crashing
I've had problems with my computer for a week or so now, and have been trying to
diagnose the exact problem. I'm not exactly sure what is the matter, but if I
relate the symptoms I hope someone will be able to assist me.
Initially I assume the fact that problems started when I began using Mandrake
9.2 is purely a coincidence.
Several weeks ago I noticed problems with applications randomly crashing, most
notably those that ran most often, eg nautilus. Sometimes even my whole system
would crash and require reboot. After a reboot I would notice that some files
were just missing (I assume corrupt). Most notably these were icon files, as I
would have desktop items without icons, but also certain application files would
be missing/corrupt.
As my main hard drive was several years old and had been getting noisier I put
it down to a bad hd and replaced it.
However even with the new drive I was getting these crashes, and they seemed to
occur more often. And when a reboot was unavoidable I would reach lilo, but then
get a message that a CRC check failed and the system was halted. This would
happen several times in a row, and after leaving the machine off for a while, it
would happily start and give me several hours before it all went to hell again.
I chated to a few friends and they suggested that perhaps my IDE cables were
getting old/damaged and needed replacing. Being the cheapest thing to replace I
did so, and this has not helped.
Sometimes I am logged into a terminal when it 'fails', and I see some sort of
buffer journal error (can't recall exact words) however sometimes I can still
type in commands, but am returned an I/O error and no programs will run - and I
can't open a new connection to my machine, I can't open a new virtual terminal
in screen, can't su to root, or even ls the directory; however last time it
happened I could cd between directories, and btlaunchmanycurses was running in a
virtual terminal and kept going, with the screen updating even.
Another possible source of errors was my RAM (3 sticks of 256MB pc133 sdram). I
installed memtest86 and tested my ram in several different patterns (all in,
only 1 in, 2 in, mixing around slots). memtest86 returned only 1 error when all
3 sticks were in - noting the error to be at 318MB - as this is more than 256,
and less than 512 I thought it was a good guess my middle stick of ram was at
fault, and pulled it. Tests on the last 2 sticks usually revealed no errors..
but now and again did.
So I borrowed a stick of working 64MB pc100 sdram from work (my mobo supports
this) and ran my system for several hours.
I worked the system hard, my swap was on the go consistantly, and I was
switching between applications, playing video files, and had firebird and
thunderbird open just to keep things active. While I received no immediate
errors I decided that I would run fsck on my partitions.
I switched runlevel into single mode, and ran fsck.reiserfs on a partition on my
brand new hard drive, and it failed with:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
hda: dma_intr: status=0x40 {UncorrectableError} , LBAsect=28151643, sector=6217496
I then ran fsck.ext3 -c /dev/hdb1 (this is a new-ish drive that has never seen
problems).
During the check it gave me:
hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
hdb: dma_intr: status=0x84 {DriveStatusError BadCRC}
This CRC error reminds me of the CRC error when it would fail to boot up. So I
am thinking that maybe my ram is not at fault, nor my hard drives, but that my
motherboard is.
Perhaps the IDE channels are dying, or the ram slots, or some other part of the
mobo that I just don't know enough to be able to understand the errors.
I don't know how to really test my motherboard, and I have pretty much got to
the limit of my ability to test for problems.
Can anyone offer me any advice of how to test for mobo problems? Do my errors
sound like anything you recognise?
Oh.. and no, I don't have an LG cdrom drive ;). Just a pioneer dvdrom and a
plextor cdrw.

I had rebooted, but hadn't run lilo as root.
As suggested by the other reply, I have just run lilo -v, and will
reboot after that. And then will see what happens.
As for k3b, I have tried that, and my problem with burning covers any
program I use. But will let you know what happens after reboot.

I'm aware ro means read-only. I don't see what this has to do with my
problem, as I can record with the CDRW drive, but not the DVD-RW drive.
Note also a previous respondent suggested letting k3b add entries to
fstab, and that is what I did, and the above demonstrates this.
I still can't burn onto DVDs. Note I spent all day sorting my system out
to dual boot windows XP, installed it, and spent hours cursing as it
crashed and hung every hour or so for one reason or another, reminding
me exactly why I use linux, and teaching me a lesson for threatening
(and carrying out) an install of windows.

[expert] pioneer dvr-105 issues
Just bought and installed a pioneer dvr-105 (dvd-r/rw burner).
I've installed it as /dev/hdc.
Two issues:
1)
In xcdroast it only appears as an atapi device, rather than available as
emulated scsi, unlike my plextor cdrw which appears as both.
I tried to remedy this with adding 'hdc=ide-scsi' to the append line in
/etc/lilo.conf but no change. Am I supposed to edit /etc/modules.conf ?
This is what I already have in modules.conf:
probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi ataraid
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci
alias eth0 eepro100
above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
options bttv radio=0 card=9 gbuffers=4
2)
The second problem is actually using the dvd burner.
I believe cdrecord-2.01-0.a16.1mdk supports dvd burning, and I am using
it. But xcdroast fails to either burn anything onto a dvd-rw, or to
blank it. No way I am making dvd-r coasters until I am sure it works, at
which point I hope not to make coasters anyway.
Advice/assistance very much welcomed

However when I boot into Mandrake, I have no tv card set up. Also trying

Each and every manufacturer of hardware ought to send mandrake samples

Turns out the DMA works fine on the normal IDE .. and so I moved it
there. But apparently there is an incompatability on the highpoint

Re: [expert] Best Mandrake yet!!!
Hmm.. I had to wrestle with beta3 :(
during install it couldn't modprobe hptraid
after install kdm and gdm wouldn't run, I think X was pooped.
so I did a clean install of 9.1beta1 - then upgraded with 9.1beta3
And all seems nice now.
My sound card still installs as audigy.. (rather than live 5.1 plat) so
I need to manually change that to use emu10k whatever.. but that's no
big deal for me.

Oh come on! If we can't argue about it, what's the point?

[expert] workspace switcher 1.0 in mdk 9.1b1
Not sure if this is a 9.1b1 thing, or a workspace switch 1.0 thing.
In 9.0 I could use the ctrl-alt-left arrow/right arrow to move
workspaces left and right, and loop around.
It no longer loops around for me, and I can't find the setting to enable
this if it exists.
This a bug/feature/my own stupidity?

I have just installed 9.1 beta 1 and I must agree with wow that it looks
better.
I use gnome as my primary desktop, and it just looks a touched more
polished. The font config menu gives options for font smoothing.
The pointer appears transparent almost (light grey) and has a shadow ..
very impressive.
However I have a few questions, and wasn't sure where to ask them, so I
am tacking them to the bottom of this 'wow 9.1b1 is cool' mail :)
xine - ever a thorn in my side, gives me trouble. It appears I have no
audio or video drivers installed. Any ideas?
I suppose I could just add a cooker sauce (source) to urpmi and try
installing xine from cooker .. which brings my second question.. and
perhaps less beta related. How do I add a cooker source with urpmi
again? Stupid me gets excited each time someone tells me.. and rapidly
forgets again.
Note to self: make a 'Help me' file and keep all the things in there
that help me.. so I can refer to it again...
Oh.. one last thing, to Mandrakesoft: Well done!! If beta1 looks this

I don't need all that many apps. As long as b1 supports
gaim/gnomeicu/evolution/xchat/xine and of course a terminal, then I'll
consider it.
Hmm.. does it come with xine? I seem to have trouble with xine.
I can have 0.9.13 working perfectly, with encrypted dvd's etc.. but
can't seem to get 0.9.17 or the 1 beta stuff to work fully... I suppose
I should stick with what works... but I kinda get turned on by new
things :) Which gets back to why I want to try 9.1b1 ;)
If I nuke ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* will I be ok keeping my home? Anything
else I should nuke?

Am having a weird problem.
When I log into gnome with a particular user name gconfd-2 runs and

I'm not sure what is causing this, but it appears user specific.
Can anyone suggest a solution for me to be able to use this user without

instead it wrote _over_ and would not resume.
Later I am using xchat, someone sends me a file via dcc, connection
drops, I re-request the file, and it doesn't resume, it picks a new name
to download to.
Auto-resume is _on_, and I even manually tried to resume. But no joy.

Re: [expert] make NTFS visible and writable by users
I was under the belief that NTFS was writable under linux, and that it
simply required a scandisk under windows, not that it actually did any
real damage.
Still.. writing isn't as important as it being readable to users.. how
do I do that?

NO!
Do NOT mount it rw. ntfs support in linux is only read capable. If you
attempt to write to it, you will damage your ntfs filesystem so badly
that it cannot be recovered. Do *NOT* mount it rw. If you want to
share data between win and lin, you need to use a fat32 partition.

Re: [expert] adsl router, which one to buy?
Really? I can't even get Mandrake 9.0 to recognise my speed touch, how
does smoothwall recognise it?
BTW.. by old pc .. I assume you mean a PC that has USB. The only old
PC's I have are a 486 (no usb) and a sparc station IPC (no usb).
Really, rather than buy a router, I'd just like the speed touch to work
(be recognised at first) by mandrake 9. But nothing seems to help me :(

[expert] adsl router, which one to buy?
Having had no success getting my speed touch to work, I wondered what
adsl routers were 'guaranteed' to work under mandrake 9.0
I am specifically considering the following:
http://web6.scan.co.uk/Products/Info.asp?WPID=30075
http://web6.scan.co.uk/Products/Info.asp?WPID=39264
http://web6.scan.co.uk/Products/Info.asp?WPID=24492 (mentions linux as
an OS it works on)
thanks for any info anyone can give

I need the NIC for internet connection sharing with another PC in the
house. A choice between 1 connected PC using mandrake, or two connected
PC's and stuck with windows.. I have to go for the latter. Else I'll
never be able to get on my own PC :(

I decided to start all over again.
Installed Mdk9.0 from scratch, totally formatting over the old one.
The installation recognised my USB mouse and it worked fine.
The installation reached the network detection part, and I allowed it to
proceed. It detected my ethernet (intel) card, but not the speedtouch. I
selected the adsl option anyway, aswell as network card, to
install/configure. The NIC all went ok, the adsl -> alcatel failed due
to needing mgmt.o and told me where to put it.
I then booted into the new system, placed mgmt.o where it is supposed to
be, and went though internet configuration again.
Once again the NIC was recognised, and adsl not (tick in the box next to
the NIC option, no tick for adsl).
All the time, my USB mouse works.
Went into harddrake2 and my USB controllers are both there.
The alcatel is plugged into the same slot as it has always been. It
works in windows. And used to work in Mdk8.2.
The only difference between the current setup, and previous setup, is
that my partitions have all changed around a bit. But I see no reason
for this to make a difference. Also I now have a firewire card. Again, I
don't see why this makes any difference. But I have taken out the
firewire card anyway. So future trials will not be affected by it.
I really really, really really, am puzzled by this.
I've worn Alastair (thanks for so much help!!) out of ideas... does
anyone else have any?
Frankly.. I don't want to be stuck in windows :( help me!! save me!!
save my soul!! ;)

[expert] installing lilo onto a partition - strange question
I have 2 hard drives.
hdb and hde
I boot of hdb, and have WindowsXp on it.
The first half of hde is an ntfs partition.
Mandrake 9 is on the second half of hde.
/ is on hde5
swap is on hde6
When installing mandrake, I opted to install lilo onto hde5 this always
worked in mandrake 8.x and so I assumed it would still work.
However when I did this, a dialog came up that never before existed.
It said that it recognised I was installing onto a partition, and asked
what drive I was booting off.
I'm not quite sure what this question means. Does it want to know my
what drive the whole system boots off, i.e. hdb or does it want to know
which disk linux is on, i.e. hde.
It gives me the choice to select hdb or hde.
I assume it means to select hdb.
But what does this question mean? What does it do? Does this have
anything to do with the fact that the boot loader I use no longer
recognises linux to boot it? (Following same procedures I always used
for Mdk 8.x no longer work).
This isn't a big deal, as I have a boot disc, and I'm happy to use it.
Just curious over this new question in the installation procedure.
thanks

[expert] mdk9 + alcatel speedtouch
I installed 9.0 and skipped the network setup.
I then booted into mandrake and placed mgmt.o into /usr/share/speedtouch
Then I went to configure network settings.
I tried to configure alcatel speedtouch usb adsl modem.
It requested cd 1 and installed files, and then completed.
However the connection wouldn't work.
Now as mandrake has a specific option to install the alcatel speedtouch
adsl modem, I assume that this works fairly well.. and that therefore it
is something I am missing.
What should I do to get my adsl connection working?
Many thanks

I have just tried 9.0rc2, and it didn't work any better.
I can handle putting a file where I am told to.. and I expect the wizard
to do everything else for me :)
Is there really any chance this will be fixed before the final release?

I sent a mail about an issue to this list a few days ago.. but I think
it may have been lost in the 'Great downage of the Mandrake lists' of
which I will be telling my grandchildren.. anyway..
It was a hope I had for the 9.0 release..
With 9.0beta3 my alcatel speed touch USB adsl modem (the frog) was
recognised on installation, and upon attempting to install the relevant
software for it, I was informed to download mgmt.o to place in a certain
location.. all well and good.. but idea 1: Is it not possible for the
installation mechanism to prompt the user to insert a floppy disk and
attempt to get the file from it (for those of us that plan ahead.. but
aren't smart enough to get it in the right place manually during
installation).
After installation, I put the file where it should be, attempted to
configure the connection properly.. following the wizard.. and it
wouldn't work proporly.. connected me to the internet... but only once..
and never again afterwards.. this lead to idea 2, which i admit is
hardly novel: Could perhaps the alcatel speed touch adsl modem
configuration and usage be made to work 100% perfectly? :)
Many thanks

Re: [expert] winXP hosed partition table - help me recover vitalfiles
Thanks... I had done all that.. even edited lilo.conf to point to the new location for the lilo boot files (hdb6 instead of hdb3). However when I try to run lilo to take account of the changes.. it says it can't .. some error message that I assume comes from it not being able to read the system properly.. possibly because it's looking at the rescue(/etc) as root and not /mnt/etc .. I even copied lilo.conf to /etc of the rescue.. to no avail. I _do_ have all my files recovered. So there is no longer any panic. Just a desire to get th elinux system up with minimum fuss. When attempting to boot linux it kernel panics on mounting / (because maybe lilo hasn't been re-run yet.. so its looking for hdb3 instead of the now hdb6 / partition) Joseph Braddock wrote: >Try booting from the CD and go into rescue mode, again.

Re: [expert] winXP hosed partition table - help me recover vitalfiles
Thank you all very much for your help, here's the latest: Went back into rescue this morning, and while messing around with mount I realised that the partitions that were previously hdb3 for / and hdb6 for /home were changed.. in so far as they were now hdb6 for / and hdb7 for /home.

Re: [expert] winXP hosed partition table - help me recover vitalfiles
That actually helped! So thanks :) But there's a wist to the tale: turns out windows installation turned the 'C' (hdb1) from fat32 to ntfs. it's that I am guessing is the cause of the partition changes. The result is that doing the 'rescue' suggested lets me recover hdb6 but not hdb3. I can't find the files I want in hdb6 ... big suspicion that they are in hdb3. Yet hdb3 must sit right next to hdb1 - I don't know too much detail about these things ... and so the changes of hdb1 might have overwritten the border of hdb3??? Any ideas?

[expert] winXP hosed partition table - help me recover vital files
I did a stupid thing. I'll admit that right upfront. windows was a bit unstable.. so I reinstalled. now my linux installation doesn't boot, due to partition table problem. Let me explain my setup: primary disk: /dev/hdb1-small windows boot partition for windowsXP FAT32 /dev/hdb3-/ for mdk8.2 using ext3 /dev/hdb6-/home for mdk 8.2 using ext3 secondary disk: /dev/hde1-WindowsXP NTFS plus additional FAT32 windows storage partition. I didn't touch hdb1 in my re-install... and I wasn't thinking straight and trusted windows wouldn't do anything except drop a few files there, as it already existed. I re-installed windowsXP into hde1. Even reformated. trusting this wouldn't affect the other disk. Now when I boot into linux.. or try to.. I get kernel panic errors. If I try to put in the mdk8.2 installation disk it can't read the partition tables and wants to nuke them all. If I use partition magic 7 (on windows) it says: Disk 1 has partitions created using a different drive geometry. This serious problem can lead to data loss. The program then just shows that entire disk without any partition info, as it doesn't want me doing anything to it. I am guessing my partition table is a llittle hosed. Frankly I don't care about losing 99% of my linux installation. However I would like to recover some files from my /home directory, those being my very essential M.Sc project files. They are not backed up anywhere else that places on my linux partition... after all I trusted their safety there more than on windows... I wasn't counting on windows being sneaky enough to find them on my linux partition and nuke them.. let alone for it to nuke the whole lot. As I said... I did a stupid thing. Can anyone help me recover my essential files? Is there a way to 'fix' the partition table? Is there a way to boot anyway and get to my files? Helllp!!! -- many thanks Azrael Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] lincvs
Bit of a long shot I know.. but installing KDE3.0.1 broke my LinCVS ..
it seems to want qt2 ... even with qt2 installed.. if I try to compile
it myself.. it wants the devel ibs which conflict with qt3.
So does anyone miraculously happen to have a LinCVS binary compiled on a
system with KDE3.0.1 on that might work for me?
Many thanks...

[expert] gnozip not making zipfiles
Gnome gnozip 0.1.3 This is Zip 2.3 (November 29th 1999), by Info-ZIP Compiled with gcc 2.96 2731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk) Qt: 3.0.4 KDE: 3.0.1 Ark: v2.1.9 ark will make me zip files. gnozip won't make me zip files (will make me .tar.gz etc..) I also don't appear to be able to make zip files on the command line (but blame my own inability). Can anyone see an immediate problem which would cause gnozip to not make zip files? from console when adding to zipfile in gnozip: zip error: Nothing to do! (test.zip) -- many thanks for any help..

[expert] DVD viewing with xine - help needed
I have had problems viewing encrypted dvd's with xine - in that I can't do it. I used to be able to a year or so ago.. I have taken backwards steps it seems :) The default mdk 8.2 setup didn't work for me.. couldn't seem to install plugins for it. So I uninstalled and went with the following packages: package libcss-0.1.0-5 is already installed package libdvdcss2-1.2.0-2plf is already installed package libdvdcss2-devel-1.2.0-2plf is already installed package libdvdnav-0.1.1-0 is already installed package libdvdread-0.9.3-ogle1 is already installed package libdvdread-devel-0.9.3-ogle1 is already installed package libxine0-0.9.10-1 is already installed package libxine0-devel-0.9.10-1 is already installed package w32codec-0.50-1 is already installed package xine-dvdnav-0.9.10-0 is already installed package xine-ui-0.9.10-1 is already installed package xvid-0.20020412-3 is already installed package xvid-devel-0.20020412-3 is already installed I would have thought these would work.. but they did not. So I uninstalled them and went with a suggestion from the newbie list of: xine-0.4.3-fr1.decss.rpm that didn't do the trick for me either. So I am asking here. Can I not use this impressive list of packages above and somehow just enable libcss support? Help? many thanks -- Azrael Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
