replies to me, but earlier heated exchanges) to emails pointing out the
various failings in 9.2 are not encouraging people to come forward and
contribute. And Mandrake need to make it feasible for casual users to
contribute to testing by allowing more time for the testing process.

ttle less experienced users' problems
one by one, but if Mandrake wants to be seen as a user-friendly desktop
OS, it has to cope with these problems. Maybe it's only a matter of not
putting the new release out too early to the public in the way that they
did, but if you've got a lot of people with problems like this, it's a
sign that something is wrong.

ds, and I won't
extend the pain by carrying on the argument beyond this post. I just
wanted people to see that the faults in the initial 9.2 release were
causing real-life damage amongst less sophisticated linux users than
Cooker subscribers. And that this damage hurts more than Mandrake -
l time. We are already seeing sweeping generalisations along
the lines of "linux isn't ready for primetime", because people assume
Mandrake = linux. This sort of damage to reputations could take years to
undo.

to read the existing

detail: if you run the connection wizard, devices are labelled as
detected, but their checkboxes are not checked.
It looks to me like a combination of kernel problem and drakxtools bugs,
and maybe problems
gnuchess on this package instead of gcompris.
gcompris will not complain nor display the chess board icon if the
package is not there.

elates to your problem, but IIRC, in MDK 8.2 and 9.0 the
installation over such a device was plain worng as the necessary /dev/cciss
files were not created dynamically. In 9.1 it appeared to have been corrected
as I've had no report of failure due to that.
Just in case it brings some light ;-
be great if lilo.conf was updated and lilo rerun to write it to
disk.
To get back on my knees, I used the rescue mode of the mandrake disk
one. Mounted the partition and go to console mode :
$ loadkeys fr
$ cd mnt/etc
$ vi lilo.conf
:wq
$ chroot /mnt
$ lilo

enable the PDC20276 and use the disks on it as normal,
Alternatively, I believe there is an alternative install kernel around
that supports the PDC20276, but if you can't find it, the above should work.

Hey
If you only have 32 megs of memory, you cant run in 1600x1200 24bit
color, here is why:
memreq = (1600 bit x 1200 bit x 24 bit) / (1024 x 1024) = 44 Megabyte.
If you use 16 bit color:
memreq = (1600 bit x 1200 bit x 16 bit) / (1024 x 1024) = 30 Megabyte.

The question is, is it premature to move to ext3 as the default for /?
Given the filesystem corruption issues with recent kernels, RAID and

ext2 should still be the default for /. That's the way I have now
configured my system, and it is now behaving itself again.

s trying to do - piling layer on layer
of ugliness), the best solution would be to provide proper support for /
on RAID. The simple way to do this would be to either build RAID (at
least RAID-1) support into the default kernels, or provide alternative
kernels with it built in. After all, this sort of thing is already done
for SMP, enterprise, security etc. RAID is just as fundamental, and it
is time Mandrake sorted it out.
