Re: [newbie] Kernel 2.6.3-8 marked as not available in mirror?
Thanks for the tips on the kernel install. I have installed them many times. What was curious about the behavior of Mandrake Update in this case is that unlike the behavior in the past, the kernel source was never shown in the update list. In the past, whenever a new bugfix kernel was released, the kernel source would show up in the updates list, prompting the user to install it, then follow that with the installation of the appropriate kernel as you described. The presence of the kernel source was always a good flag that new kernels were available for installation. That didn't happen this time. The other curious thing is that the comments section of the description of the kernels and kernel source (2.6.3-8) read not available. In the past, this section held a description of the kernel, and information as to the bugs corrected by the package. None of this information is there on these kernels. I'd like to know if these are valid kernels, were they released as bug fixes, and why they are described as unavailable. There is something strange about these kernel packages.

Re: [newbie] Kernel 2.6.3-8 marked as not available in mirror?
I don't know where it installed to and it hasn't appeared as an option in my boot configuration. Did you inspect your /etc/lilo.conf file to see if a stanza was added for the new kernel? Did you do a lilo -v (you don't need the -v option, but I like to see what's going on as the config is processed) from a terminal as root after installing the new kernel, to write the new lilo to disk? If you didn't do the above, and a stanza was properly added to your lilo.conf file when you installed the kernel, that's why it didn't show up in your lilo list of installed kernels.

If you are currently running kernel 2.6.3-7mdk from community, there is a kernel-win4lin-2.6.3-7mdk that matches it in cooker contrib. It uses the same modules that the main kernel uses, so it is a small download (about 1.5MB), and it has menu icons and some other scripts to get it installed properly, so it is the best one to use. I found it here: ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/contrib/i586/kernel-win4lin-2.6.3.7mdk-3-8mdk.i586.rpm For some reason, it never made it into contrib for 10.0 CE. I'll email the maintainer tos find out why. I also just noticed that this is the package you found, and yes it is the one to use. make sure you match the pacake to your kernel, in other words the package you reference matches kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm -- /g Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] soundcard woes
Hi folks, No luck on other venues I've tried, so I'll give newbie@ a shot. I'd love if someone could give me some clues on this one. I've posted more info than less, in hopes that something will trigger a solution for someone more familiar with MDK than me. I can't get sound activated since loading MDK 10.0. Here's the odd thing: the MandrakeMove LiveCD (9.3) always triggers sound, which I verified once again, yesterday. Here's an even odder thing: MandrakeMove and MDK 10.0 appear to both recognize my soundcard identically in Control Centre. I've also unplugged soundcard completely and re-inserted it in hopes it would be recognized the second time, but no luck. I'd really like to hammer out this sound issue, as I can't watch video/movies or listen to music without it. Here's some basic info: Creative Soundblaster PCI 128 default driver: OSS1371 **which works on MDKMove but not on 10.0** alternate driver: ALSA snd-ens 1371 **I've tried this but it didn't work** I also tried the debugging options (I'm doing my best to be self-reliant when solving Linux problems) available under Hardware in Control Centre.
