[expert] Questions on the upgrade path for mandrake.
I am an avid debian user, as well as a linux user (since like 1991). I'm curious as to the upgrade path mandrake gives. I know with debian using there dselect/apt-get tools I can move from 1 realease to the next very very easily. How is the path from 9.0 to 9.1? Is it just a matter of selecting upgrade and letting it do it's thing? Has anyone verified this? (I remeber when redhat said you could do this, 4 server reinstalls later). -- Scott Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Unless I read this wrong, a Promise Ultra100 IDE controller is NOT a scsi conroller, and will not work with a SCSI drive. Like John said: Does windows see the Quantum? When you boot linux, what is detected (look at /var/log/messages or use 'dmesg' (which may or may not give the right info!))? In windows, (I'm doing this from memory, so I may miss some parts or have them in the wrong place, sorry!) start up the 'my computer' thingy, and look at whats under the 'devices' tab. Do you see anything in there that says SCSI?If not, the problem is more basic than getting linux to work with your SCSI, its a problem of getting scsi to work at all rc Rusty Carruth Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: (480) 345-3621 SnailMail: Schlumberger ATE FAX: (480) 345-8793 7855 S.

I have been having problems installing Mandrake 7.2. The boot from cdrom or floppy stops after the detection of hda. It seems that kernel 2.2.17 does not recognise my Promise Ultrs66 controller and the two disks attached to them. This is proved by removing the controller card, then 7.2 installes without error. Another indication is that if I install kernel 2.2.16 then the controller and disks are recognised and all is well. Why does this happen with a new release, one would think that 2.2.17 should be better than 2.2.16. Or is that whishfull thinking? Can anybody help me solve this problem please? Could anybody provide me with a complete set of disks from the site please? I will pay all costs, I just can't afford to download them though my modem. I would also like all of the upgrades listed on the site for 7.2 as this would take hours to download. Thanks in anticipation, please contact me privately if you can provide the cd's regard Paul .
