[newbie] Mandrake kernels and Gateway Athlon PCs (Kadoka motherboard)
Does anyone have the answer to this? Am I on the right list? Andy Mandrake - Motherboard question There is a long known problem with Mandrake 2.4.x kernels in all 8.x dists and the Kadoka motherboard found in Gateway Athlon machines: http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=937&lang=en Basically the box just hangs on INIT 2.78 The fix was to revert to the 2.2.x kernel, which is obviously not ideal in terms of modern device driver requirements, or building from a stock kernel which I did, but which looses some of the niceties of the Mandrake kernels (e.g. patching supermount into a stock kernel is non-trivial for newbies such as myself). Has this been fixed in dist 9.0? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
