[expert] Known issues with my configuration system
Ciao, I wanted to know if there are known issue with my system and Mandrake 8, since it keeps on 'freezing' with no apparent reason. I include in this mail the configuration file for my system created with hard-drake. Thank, Stefano ?xml version=1.0?

Re: [expert] Known issues with my configuration system
was wondering a question along these same lines. ML8.0 and KDE2 is absolutely beautiful, at least for the length of time I was able to see it. I could use either xfree 3.x or xfree 4.x with no change to the following problem. I too have locking or freezing on 8.0 I have a KA-6100 viachipset motherboard with 128megs RAM, All in Wonder Pro card, Yamaha OPL3 SAx builtin sound, USR int PnP fax/modem 56K, Acer 310U scanner. (Scanner has never worked in Linux). I have always had to use the reboot in order to NOT get a screen dump of some kind (which is what happens with shutdown). I understand this is due to a via chipset issue, but as long as you reboot and shutdown when it comes up ... no problems. This issue was present as far back as 7.0. These new problems are quite baffling. Was previously running 7.0 then 7.2 Freq with no problemsafter the initial issues between the sound card and my fax/modem. My husband fixed those and got them all to work together, both in Win98 and ML7.0 and ML7.2 Freq. He even got it to work the first install with ML8.0, but then the problems started and it will not reboot after an install at all without hanging, no matter how many times you reinstall it seems. But 8.0 install goes great, but when you boot up it will lock up after getting inode errors all over the place, it is like it is eating up the root partition (not sure what technical issue is really going on here). If I am able to get past that, it locks at different stages of KDE2. This is even after the 3rd repartitioning and install. Very frustrating. Have rebuilt all partitions and installed from scratch each time. The drive itself doesn't have problems, I have half of it as windows extended partition and half as linux partitions on the D: drive. The C: drive is all windows. C drive is 1.2Gig and D is 10Gig. It seemed to do quite well with 7.0 and 7.2 Freq If anyone can help, or if you need more information, please let me know.

We slow it down to avoid a hardware bug in the chipset, but normally this happens only under high load, like file transfers of 100Mb or more. Civileme __ Do You Yahoo!?
