[newbie] Patches?
Dear All, Are there any patches for LM 8.2 that might help with sound and irq problems. I was reading here and there on the net that some acpi patches helped those kind of problems. Does anyone know if that could help and where to find these patches? Thanks. Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Just run Mandrake Update, and it will give you a list of all available and applicable security patches for your system. Choose "Select All", then "Do Updates", and it's all automated from there...

Re: [newbie] Patches
Hi, Has anyone had any problems with Mandrake Update freezing during the updates? I was trying to perform a bunch of the updates, maybe about half, and the MandrakeUpdate froze during the actual installation. Doing a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or Ctrl-Alt-Delete did not do anything! Mouse and keyboard were non-responsive. The harddrive was making tons of noise, so it got stuck doing something. If I selected one or two of the updates, that seemed to work OK. After rebooting, I re-ran MandrakeUpdate, and the potential list of security updates was the same as before I started, even though I successfully updated some of the entries before, almost like my RPM database is messed up. Could it have something to do with the RPM database? maybe it needs to be rebuilt before installing the new security updates? (I'm not at my linux box to try it now...). I am running Mandrake 7.2, 2.2.17 kernel. This was under KDE 2.01. Can someone tell me what the command is to update the RPM database?

[newbie] patches don't work
I created two floppies. One boot floppy with the contents of cdrom-aic7xxx.img, and one patch floppy with the contents of aic7xxx.img. I'm following the instructions from the web site:http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/heliumlast.php3 "Error scenario: Problem with some SCSI cards using the aha2940 and aha2930 (and possibly other) chipsets. As a result, SCSI drives and CD-ROMs are not recognized, and you may receive a message like "I could not mount a device on /dev/scd0" or you will see pci error messages looping in the console output.When: During installation with some SCSI cards that use the aha2940 chipset. Please note that not all SCSI cards using this chipset are affected. Solution: Download this new CD-ROM boot floppy image file and this patch floppy image file. You will need two blank floppy diskettes and you must create a boot floppy and patch floppy of the two images (using dd if=image.img of=/dev/fd0). Boot from the newly created boot floppy and at the first prompt press F1. At the syslinux prompt type: patch. You will then be prompted to insert the patch floppy with contains the the proper aic7xxx module. This will then create a proper initrd during installation."So, I boot successfully and press F1. At the prompt, I type 'patch' and the installation continues without prompting for another floppy and I still can't get the CDROM to mount. :-(Obviously, I'm missing something here. Can anyone tell me what it is? Thank you very much for any help!Robert
