Re: [newbie] RPM major numbers - 3 problem
Fireman71 wrote: When trying to upgrade some packages with "rpm -U packnamehere" I got the following error message only packages with major numbers = 3 are supported by this version of RPM This has happened on several upgrades I have tried before but now its become a problem due to it happening on a package that I need to upgrade. Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem or fix it? Ian K. Harrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] My guess would be that you are trying to update packages that are written for RedHat 7.0, which uses a newer version of RPM. If this is the case, you need to upgrade your RPM proggie, along with some other libraries too. Check out the RedHat site for more info... -- Cheers! ====== Rune Kallhovd, CORENA Norge AS == = Software Engineer = = P.O.Box 1024, N-3601 Kongsberg, NORWAY = = Tlf: +47 32 73 7448, Fax: +47 32 73 6877 = == CORENA Home Page: http://www.corena.no ==

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 install problem - two HD's on UDMA66.
I got another tip today that may be worth investigating a little bit. Since the problem may be related to timing between the two disks, it may be an idea to separate them, one master on each IDE channel. That is if you have 2 ATA66 ports (and 2 ATA33 ports) as is the case with the Abit BE6-II mobos. Does anybody have any comment to this approach (before I rip open the box and rewire everything)?

This particular MB/Chipset/Controller combo often chokes on some of them. Check the expert archives or Cooker archives for case histories if interested. If this is not downloadable 7.2, either download it or register your set and contact tech support by email; or get a cheap set of CDs from Cheapbytes or GatorOnline.
