RE: [Cooker] Mandrake 9.1 Should be Delayed

As an aside... I've not been able to use Mandrake since 9.0. I've been hoping that the PDC20276 problems would be fixed with 9.1, but from the looks of the release candidates and betas it doesn't look like that's the case. Since it works fine in Red Hat 8.0, looks like I will have to go there

Vox... I reported it as bug 1801 a few weeks ago. Several attempts at fixes have been made, but as of RC2 it's still broke. Badly. MDK 9.0 was really weird. It would boot off the CD, then when it detected the IDE controllers, it would suddenly lose the CD-ROM drives completely and decide that

Yep, agreed - someone needs to look to the Red Hat gang for help on that one I'm afraid. They have it working fine in 2.4.18. I know there have been several cracks at fixing this in MDK, so here's to hoping Pixel nails it. I really don't want to continue using RH if at all possible.

Hmmm... In digging deeper to my installation problems, (see bug 1802 that I posted earlier tonight) - I now see that after I select ataraid as a module to load for my SCSI interface (which is really a PDC20276 MBFastTrak133), I see in ctrl-alt-f3 that it is complaining: Missing module ataraid

[Cooker] bug report: major gotcha with PDC20276 (Asus P4B533-E) on 9.1b3

2003-02-16 Thread Alexander Rayborn
Hi all... here to report a problem... On Mandrake 9.0, my Asus P4B533-E refused to install from the CDROM (and yes, they're known good CDROMs - I installed them on other machines). After loading and detecting the hard drive on the ATA133 controller, the CDROM drives suddenly disappeared and could
