[expert] Install problem
I started using mandrake when 7.0 first came out. Installed easily and I loved it. I upgraded to 7.1 when it came out. My 7.1 system works fantastic and I also have it running on another computer in the house that acts as my email server and proxy for this mandrake box and my wife's windows me machine. I have run into a problem trying to upgrade to 7.2. Everything goes just fine until it asks for the 2nd disk. I put it in and it kicks it back out when I click on the ok button, the same thing for the 3rd and 4th disk, so I do the install with just the 1st disk. I discovered afterwards I'm unable to access my cdrom, I get an error saying it's locked and I don't have access to it. This occurs as a user or as root. Cdrom2 works fine. What I'm thinking is this drive gets locked during installation from the 1st disk and is unable to read the subsequent disks. Why would this happen? Hardware? I've had the same results on 2 different computers. I've tried the upgrade option and the install option using store bought disks and disks I burned from iso's I downloaded. Maybe I'll disconnect my cdrom and run the install from the cd-rw drive. I'm getting tired of doing installs. I sure do like what I've seen of 7.2 and would like to get it installed so that it works properly. There just seems to be too much missing not being able to use the other disks. -- Roland Hightower [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kd5rh.net Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Registered Linux user# 183785 Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
[expert] Promise Ultra100
Is the Promise Ultra100 card compatable with linux? I put one in another box I built to run linux on, it's detected during post process, but during the linux boot it stops in the middle somewhere saying is can't mount file system 3:01. In trying to do a new install, the install stops at the point of installing the packages saying it can't find a media to install the operating system on. The kernel has the 'boot offboard chipset first' option compiled in, whether that makes any difference or not. Any ideas? Anyone using one of these controllers? -- Roland Hightower [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kd5rh.net Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Registered Linux user# 183785 Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
[expert] drakboot - making boot floppy
Has anyone had any problems making a boot floopy or formatting a floppy with ext2 file system with drakboot? After trying, when I go to mount the floppy I get an error saying 'wrong fs type, bad super block, or too many mounted file systems'. If I format the floppy with a dos fs, the floppy is readable and writeable. But after creating a boot floppy, the floppy isn't readable. How do I go about creating a boot floppy from a command line? I thought I would try it that way and see whaat happens. -- Roland Hightower [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kd5rh.net icq# 2981212 Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Registered Linux user# 183785 Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

My system runs a K63-400 and I love it as much as I do my operating system!! Hope to upgrade to an Athlon one day soon. -- Roland Hightower [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kd5rh.net icq# 2981212 Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Registered Linux user# 183785 Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
[expert] Packet monitoring
Is there a program that will allow me to monitor the packets coming into and going out of my box? What's the name of it and where can I download it? Or is it already on my system and I just don't know what it is? -- Roland Hightower [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kd5rh.net icq# 2981212 Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Registered Linux user# 183785 Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
[expert] Realmagic driver
I've seen it, but don't remember where. Does anyone know where I can find the driver for the Realmagic Hollywood Plus DVD decoder card? I remember seeing it a couple months ago when I first installed LM 7.0, but at the time, my dvd card was the least of my concerns. Now I'm wondering where it is, it's not at the manufacturer's site. Thanks, Ro
