Ok, finally got around to this. Tried to install the mm kernel off the cooker mirror on 9.1, and it failed saying it needed shorewall = 1.3.14-1mdk. So then I downloaded the plain old 2.4.21-0.18mdksmp kernel from one of the regular mirrors (raven.cslab.vt.edu) and installed that. It installed okay, but upon rebooting, I'm still getting the ldm_validate_partition_table messages. So it looks like this version of the kernel does not fix this problem, unfortunately. BTW, I unplugged the USB flash card reader while I was installing the kernel. Was that the correct thing to do? Should I even bother with the mm kernel, or would I get the same result from that? Another strange thing I noticed is that after installing the 18 kernel, in /boot/grub/menu.lst, both the linux-smp entry and the 2421-18smp entry point to version 18 (the former because all the symbolic links were changed to point to 18.) So now there are two sets of SMP entries pointing to 18, and none pointing to 13. This seems like a bug to me. Or is this working as designed? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I run cooker so I let urpmi install shorewall along with the kernel, and then uninstalled shorewall. You should be able to 'rpm -ivh --nodeps 2.4.21-0.18mmTab' or use --force. I use guarddog, and soon after shorewall was installed it made my DSL connection blocked up jelly tight, can't go anywhere. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Newer versions of the kernel for 9.1
Try kernel.org ? Or do you need specific kernels for mandrake ?

You would have to try and build your own, or you could also try the Cooker kernel. If you do try the cookwe kernel, make sure you install it without removing your old kernel so you can boot back to it if stuff desn't work. -- Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks all for the replies. I tried a 16 kernel that I had found on pbone, but it does not fix the problem. According to https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=930 this fix is only in versions 17 and later. Anne, you are correct in that this appears to be a nuisance only, and not a malfunction. But it is enough of a nuisance that I'd like to fix it. It causes about a 30-second pause (old hardware 233 MHz dual Pentium MMX) in multiple places during boot-up, then another similar pause when I log on. I'll try Greg's suggestion and see if I can get a later kernel from cooker. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
