This is what is happening. After I hit the shut down button, Mandrake begins a shut down sequence. And the machine actually beeps stating that it's shutting down but immediately after it shuts down, it auto reboots itself. This goes on and on. Basically, I cannot shut it down. In order to do so, I've been having to resort to shutting the box down physically. This is not good. I've even tried using a term command of init 0 to shut down but the box keeps doing the auto reboot thing. Can someone please help me solve this problem? I'm a Linux/Mandrake newbie. The box on which Mandrake is running on is an E-machines box (X86). Mandrake is the only OS on it. I have no strange apps running on the box but pure Mandrake. The only thing I've done is get the box online (aDSL). Please help me! Thanks! __ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place.

RE: [newbie] Got everything else to work but still no CDRW
when you execute 'cdrecord -scanbus' as root does it list your CDRW as a SCSI device? You have not mentioned anything regarding appending 'hdc=ide-scsi' to your kernel boot command. after changing your conf.modules file you must run 'depmod'. -Original Message- From: Jim Weimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 October 2000 00:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Got everything else to work but still no CDRW I'm haveing problems accessing the CDRW on a recent install of Mandrake 7.1 on a 166Hz pentium with 64 meg ram.

[newbie] bttv and module pre-install
Running MD7.1 with a BT848 TV card. Even though I have the lines in my conf.modules file :- 'pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner' and 'pre-install bttv modprobe -k msp3400' I always have to login as root and modprobe the modules manually prior to running Kwintv. Has anyone else had the same problem.
