I wish I only had an unstable system. I could not boot at all after a very similar upgrade. I installed 8.0 on an unused partition but cannot use my usb mouse. I reinstalled with the recent (06/06/02) cooker isos and cannot boot at all. I get errors about block-major-3 (ide drive) and char-major-13 (mouse I think). It suggests that I boot with kernel option init= but I don't know what that means. As you can tell, I can run my WinXP partiton. :( Chuck Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Where is my drive space
I just noticed a problem on my 8.1/cooker install. Recently when installing a new package I ran out of space on /usr/local. DiskDrake shows my /usr/local mounted as hdg1 with 8.8 G. It is formatted as a Reiser partition and is the first 1154 cylinders of 2490 cyls (19G) on a Maxtor ATA100 drive. Does anybody have any idea what is wrong ?

[expert] kernel-source rpm problems
I have upgraded to kernel 2.4.8-26 and am trying now to install the kernel-source rpm (2.4.8.26). I got the following message: ncurses-devel is needed by kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk 8.1 rc1 had installed ncurses5.2-16. the only ncurses-devel package I could find was 5.2-12 fromrpmfind.net. I tried to install that and got the following: ncurses = 5.2-12.2mdk is needed by ncurses-devel-5.2-12.2mdk I just want to install my NVIDIA drivers, I understand that I need the kernel-source for this.

[expert] Mandrake Control Center broken
I am having trouble with the Mandrake Control Center, it is not affecting the changes I am making. I had to reinstall LM8.0 freq2 after a few problems. Now I am finding that I cannot set my mouse correctly, I set it to a wheel mouse in MCC and edit the XFConfig-4 file for a wheel mouse, restart KDE and it is back to where I started. I tried again, select wheel mouse in MCC, switch to something else and then go back, it is set back to generic. Also, I am running a dual boot with Win XP. It does not work with LILO but does with GRUB. I cannot switch to GRUB in MCC. It says LILO regardless of what I do. Both of these were working fine before I had to reinstall. Questions: Can I set these things manually ? Also, what can I do to fix MCC, I don't know what package it is to try a reinstall. Thanks, Chuck
