since you are using the AMD64 version, you will not need to worry about the 
'780' memory limit.
when you hit f1, you will see some instruction to other kernels and switches, 
you may need to try more than one switch, adnor commbonation of switches, but 
I am betting it is a problem with frame buffer and your video card, I have an 
ATI 9700 with 128 meg ram, running amd64 MDK, (but a different MOBO) and I 
have to use the 'nofb' switch to install too.

are you using the amd 64 version of Mandrake?
the reason I ask, is the way memory is handled is very different.
if you are using the AMD64 version, are you getting to the 'enter for install 
or f1 for other' screen? if so, then try f1, then type in 'linux nofb' and 
hit enter. do you have no IDE devices?

if you are getting to the 'enter for install or f1 for other' screen, then you 
may try some other switches for the kernel. do you have 'shared video memory?

A suggestion only no guarentees.  Go into bios and move the selections

Guys, it sounds like he is booting fine from cd one and getting the 
"press enter to install or upgrade mandrake linux" screen.

I wonder if it's not going any further because of a hardware 
incompatibility??? Motherboard or vid card perhaps?

ali tig - it might be worth searching the net to double check all your 
hardware is linux compatible. Posting a list of your components here 
could help you too. I'm no hardware compatibility expert myself though, 
I can only vouch for the bits that are running in my computer.

Hope this helps,

Ali, it sounds to me that your system bios isn't configured 
to have the cdrom as the first boot device.
If you are able to change the boot sequence in your bios, 
to set your cdrom 
drive as the first to boot, that *should* allow you to an install. 

If you are unable to do that, then just browse the install CD#1 
and read the INSTALL.txt file. It will explain how to make a boot floppy in MS Windows 
that will allow you to install Mandrake.

HTH. Good luck to you, and if you need more help, there are many here who are very 
knowledgable and able to do just thatexcluding 
myself of course. ;-)

Hey all,

[Dave !! Jimmy did fine. The English did the job by conveying the message.]

There are several types of installations.  Usually booting off the CD and following 
the prompts on the screen is the best method.  MandrakeLinux is able to detect most of 
the common hardware found in machines.  However, there are exceptions and you'll want 
to check Mandrake's site to make sure your hardware is supported.

Near the end of the installation you'll be asked during the install if you want the 
machine to boot into X window system.  Just answer no if you don't want to go directly 
into it.

There are great websites on using Mandrake.  These will be available when you launch 
Konqueror. The best method is to use a search engine (such as google) and type in 
keywords.

In terms of a good text editor - Mandrake installs some very good ones.  There are gui 
and non gui editors.  So - take your pick from the lot that are installed.  Of course, 
any die-hard Linux fan is going to remind you to take the time to learn the command 
line and learn Vi.

BTW:  Don't forget to purchase a boxed set.  You'll get a hard copy of manuals which 
are very valuable.

Good luck

Jimmy, 

Hey man, punctuation works wonders!!!  Either you just didn't use any or that is an 
excerpt from the longest run-on sentence in the history of the English language.  That 
with your use of numbers in the place of words makes your email fairly difficult to 
read.  

For scanners check:  http://panda.mostang.com/sane/.  

For sound cards check:  http://www.alsa-project.org/~goemon/  and
http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html.

The best install is to do a fresh format/full install.  You have the choice during 
install to start X on boot or not.  

You can choose from a plethora of editors during install.  

HTH

how do they miss that part when they're signing up and what do they do with the

RE: [newbie] Please HELP !

[Michael Spivak]

I think we have some misunderstandings - 
I already downloaded and installed the Mandrake 8.0 on
my Celeron 466 + 198MB RAM + USR 33.6k
The problem is to connect to my office's RAS server
i can't configure it at all :-( It tries to connect,
but when the RAS hang-up and send signal for callback
the Linux tells me "You disconnected from the net.",
and the callback ISN'T dialing my number. On the W2k
it works fine ...

Please help me if you can
i need some guide for "stupid" - some "Dummies guide to
install Linux connecting NT RAS server with Callback"

Thanks a lot in advance.

Michael S,

Your best bet as far as the kernel is concerned is to take a look at the
kernel howto on linuxdoc.org, if you want to build from .tar.gz source.

If you installed kernel-source (check by doing rpm -qa | grep kernel), the
source files are under /usr/src/linux-whatever (where whatever is the
version number of the kernel you have installed--for example, I have kernel
2.2.19 installed, so the sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.2.19.)

Bottom line :
Can you explain me "step-by-step" what software/package i should download ?
How exactly i should install and configure it
how can i run it

Please help if yo can

says char-major-4 minor 0-63 are your /dev/tty0, 1, 
the next numbers are for /dev/ttys0-/dev/ttys3  Total is 67.

So you have no launch pad for your Graphical login.

file:/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/modules.dep has nothing labeled 'char', so it 
should not be looking for this as a module.

My friend, it is time to experiment with replacing memory or to take a hard 
look at your HDD.  The kernel is showing some damage here, trying to load as 
a module what is built-in  (no modular options in a kernel compilation).

A temporary cure is reinstallation, but this sort of behavior means serious 
trouble, most likely with hardware.  

rgrep -r -i "modprobe char" /etc

showed nothing, so Mandrake initscripts and /etc/modules.conf are not causing 
this behavior.  Did you install anything recently, like right before this 
happened?  If not, look at your hardware.

Re: [newbie] please help: Mandrake installation

[Michael]

when I try to look up the partition using pqmagic, it report partition error!(I have 
used pqmagic to do some partition operations).at last I delete all the partition 
except c using fdisk and reinstall mandrake, you guess what? it works!!!

you'll have to be very careful when using the partition tool such as pqmagic.

as the next step,i'll install my sound card and modem...

thank you anyway.

Your disk drive is toast or your memory is bad.  Check the memory first, but 
it looks like a lot of compounded disk write errors.  

GNU/Linux is much much less forgiving of hardware errors than any other op 
system  It always tries to use ALL of memory for something because its 
philosophy is that usused memory is wasted memory, so it shows up memory 
errors that existed undetected fior months or years on a Windows system 
(undetected, that is, except for modem freezes and game crashes).


If the memory is good, try a reinstall, hit F1 at the splash screen and type 
either

linux idebus=33

or 

linux ide0=noautotune

to avoid the problems of a disk advertising that it can do ATA/66 (with 
errors) when it can do ATA/33 without.

Re: [newbie] Please Help a Newbie! Problem Installing Linux-Mandrake 7.1 - Cannot initialize CDROM

[L. H. LOO]

Grace,
Try my way : make a bootdisk from your Win98 - must have drivers to use 
your cdrom drive. Use this disk to boot to DOS, that is when boot process 
is completed you see A:> on the monitor -> insert linux cd into the cdrom 
drive -> type cd C: {if you cdrom has been detected as C: else change 
accordingly} ->cd dosutils -> cd autoboot -> cd mdkinst ->{type} cdrom.bat 
-> press [Enter] on keyboard; installation should start. Follow the

Grace , it sounds to me as though there is no partition allocated to Linux
(is this the case?). If so Linux cannot install , you need to allocate space
first. Assuming you've not done that , e-mail me personally if you wish and
I'll try to go through this with you. Regards  --  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As long as the new files you continue with have new enough versions to
satusfy their dependicies your cool. Go ahead and finish w/ ver 3 and fill

Perhaps your volume is 0%. Try alsamixer and change the settings if

Re: [newbie] Please Help !

[Michael]

Throsten, I too had the same problem.  I am a newbie so forgive the lack of
exact wording.
you need to edit your "lilo.conf" file in /etc/lilo.conf
look for a line that starts with:   append="" where  stands for
something i can't remember, in any event inside the quotes type a space
after the only entry or last entry and type:
mem=128M it should be inside the quotes
once your config is saved run /sbin/lilo.conf
when you reboot your system should read the new memory amt.
also good to read with more detailed explination :

good luck

Re: [newbie] Please Help! Unable to mount Yamaha CRW4416E (readonly!) in Mandrake 7.0

[Tom Barraza]

Thanks Richard, I seem to have solved my problem a little while ago,
and here's how I did it:

1) I edited the /etc/conf.modules file and took out the 2 lines
   dealing with SCSI emulation:

alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
...
post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter
...

2) I then edited my /etc/lilo.conf file and took out the line that
  also dealt with SCSI emulation:

 ...
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda11
append="hdc=ide-scsi"<-- Took this line out!
read-only

3) I ran lilo -v (as root) to update the boot record
4) When I rebooted, some auto-hardware detection program complained
   about me disabling the Yamaha CR4416E, so I chose to have it keep
   the existing configuration, but not warn me in the future about it
   being disabled (or something to that effect!)

Now I am able to mount either of my CDROM drives at will from the KDE
Desktop!
 
What still bothers me, however, is that I am now getting those pesky
messages that I got in RedHAt 6.1 in the /var/log/messages file:

Anybody got any clues on what's going on wrong here?  Is this drive still too new
for Linux drivers to have caught up?

Re: [newbie] Please Help! Unable to mount Yamaha CRW4416E (read only!) in Mandrake 7.0

[Richard Yevchak]

I had a similar problem.  First make sure you can mount the CD-RW manually.  I
think the installer is smart enough to determine the drive is CD-RW, so it
sets up the SCSI emulation for you.  It just doesn't change fstab to reflect
this.  Try (assuming you want to mount it on /mnt/cdrom2):

mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2

You may have unmount /mnt/cdrom2 first.  If this works, change the following
line (again assuming fstab is trying to mount your CD-RW on
/mnt/cdrom2/):

mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0

to:

/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0

You are changing the "dev=" portion to point at "/dev/scd0".

Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] Please help me find the right VideoCard.

[forest]

Also alot of the video cards that are "supported" on this list at
Linux-mandrake and
xfree, might not be fully suported with mandrake, or be "fully"
suported. So please
try not to substitute to a lower priced card that it says is compatable.
I know on my
linux systems I have had alot of luck with the Diamond V770, Power Color
TNT2,
i740 (newer xfree though) However I have had a real heck of a time with
the cheaper
sis 6326, and the S3 Trio cards that are said to be supported. The power
Color tnt2
cards only cost me 70ish bucks, and that 32 megs and it looks sharp.

Sevatio,
Video cards are the most problematic pieces of
hardware 
you will have to deal with in linux, (NIC's are good
for longer term probs :)) At the mandrake site you
will find a "supp.hardware" link,

As well as a link on that page to XFree86 site

Look up the various video cards on the list's and you
will see that The ATI 128 Rage chipset does not have
support yet, I am not sure which Diamond card you
have, but they have been very supportive in the past
regarding Linux, You might just have a configuration
problem there with the Diamond card. Hope this helps.

TreyPeanut Linux is a derivative of Slackware and is only 48 megs to
download from the web site.  It is installable from a directory in your
windows partition and only requires a floppy to complete the
installation.  The directions for installation are quite detailed.

If yer using a distro that supports RPM just grab the rpm file and type:

rpm -Uvh . . .it will setup and do all the config stuff itself. .
.then jut run  and proceed as normal. . .

As a matter of fact the same thing happened to me yesterday night when I tried
to install kicq.rpm... I havent been able to fix it either.
I wasnt connected to the net when I tried that, though...
