If I had to make a guess, I would say that you are having problems with either ACPI or lack of ACPI on the box. If you currently have apm installed, you might want to try to use acpi to see if that works better. If you are currently using acpi, you might want to remove it and switch to apm. Also, if you have acpi=ht on your lilo command line, try changing it to remove acpi=ht altogether and see if your machine starts to reboot, then check other functionality to see if there are problems. It could be that acpi works correctly for your box but IIRC, Mandrake defaults to not enabling it. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Scream!
There are some days I want to scream at this setup! I've got Mandrake 10 and Windows XP They'd both been rebooted recently, and setup the shares again in LinNeighbourhood. Fine. Linux saw the XP drives, so I copied a file over, checked, it was there. So I moved 400mb of documents and some mp3s to go for backing up. The 400mb files didnt make it Linux XP but the other files did ?!! Since tried another copy and it worked fine. Scream! I've had enough. I'm going to bed... And I'm going to deprive these machiens of power tonight as punishment. As it is even now Kontact locks the machine up when running spam assassin to capture 1/4 of the spam coming in.

[newbie] Mounting an external usb dvd-writer?
Can some one please guide me through the mounting process? I had a USB flash drive, and Mandrake 9.2 used mount it automatically. For some time, it has also stopped doing that. Thats perhaps because I tried to un-mount it once and messed its auto-mount system. Not sure though. Is there are way it can also auto-mount my external USB dvd-writer? If possible, please refer me to some guide or how-to as well. Thanks a lot. Regards, -nabil DISCLAIMER:Bu elektronik posta ve ekleri, sadece yukarida ismi yazili alicinin dikkatine gonderilmistir.
