Tarred up the /etc, /home, chucked them on server, installed 8.2 All well so far, not a problem, until .. on reboot, disk thrashed around for ages, just after the detecting new hardware item Eventually (we're talking 20 minutes here), a login prompt. OK, but no network no sound. Looked in old modules.conf, loaded and inserted relevant sound drivers (cs4232) - one issue fixed. The other still remains. I have a Compaq combo modem/100/10 card, which uses the xirc2ps_cs module. If the card is in at boot, the system takes forever to boot, complaining about too many open files, and when it does come up, there is no network. Manually ejecting the card and reinserting it loads the modules and brings the network up, but only at 10 (I have a 100 network). All this worked perfectly under 7.x though 8.1 - so something seems to have gotten broken here. Ideas? Suggestions? Civileme???

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Ummm at the boot splash screen esc then linux noapic If that works, then put noapic in the append line of every linux boot That was one of the big changes in the kernel. We had folks with multiple Promise or HPT controllers who were failing at install in 8.1 because we had not enabled apic; now every chipset with a broken clock is giving the default kernel fits. Civileme As an exercise for the student wth is APIC? Is it something different from ACPI, and wth is ACPI, too? Linux does not yet have good support for ACPI, by the way.
