Hi OBS! (=observe) I did an installation on reiserfs, ( sunsite.no 11.30 ), with the same problems conserning passwd's as reported yesterday. After that I stoped. This installation is basically the same, but had no problems with passwd's, the only difference from my point of view of the installation is: I choose another language for my installation (sv), this meant that I didn't have to change anything in Summary. Otherwise I use English and then has to change to timezone Stockholm. I know it sound crazy, but this is the only change I did. Linux-Mandrake Cooker-i586 20010212 13:16 /ChangeLog/1.412/Sat Feb 10 12:29:44 2001// In harddrive detection it found my parallell zip drive and I noticed that I had not installed a disk, so I opted for jumping out of installation. Naturally of course there is no bug file to write to so it hangs. I had to use a hard reset. Bad error catching. Configure networking: The same as yesterday, report of found rtl8139 but in the next instance -> no network card found. Later I did an installation from console mode via linuxconf - went fine. reboot, boot disk fine but my mirror not cleanly unmounted. kudzu, the same as yesterday, wants to install generic PS/2 mouse when ignored wants to install generic serial. sndconfig = fine, but not used by KDE installation. part of report bug: second stage install running (DrakX v1.412 built Sat Feb 10 12:29:44 2001) * running: rmmod vfat rmmod: module vfat is not loaded * running: rmmod msdos rmmod: module msdos is not loaded * running: rmmod fat rmmod: module fat is not loaded * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/af_packet.o * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/serial.o * probed Generic Serial Mouse of class MOUSE on device /dev/ttyS0 * warning: rm of /usr/share/locale failed: No such file or directory * getFile VERSION: * Trying with server FBDev * starting step `setupSCSI' * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/cdrom.o * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/ide-cd.o * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/parport.o * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/parport_pc.o * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/imm.o Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters * warning: insmod'ing module imm failed at /usr/bin/perl-install/modules.pm line 497. * running: insmod_ 2> /dev/tty5 -f /tmp/ppa.o * adding alias scsi_hostadapter to ppa * adding alias block-major-11 to scsi_hostadapter * step `setupSCSI' finished * starting step `selectMouse' * telling X server to use another mouse * step `selectMouse' finished * calling umount(/tmp/hdimage) * warning: bad magic number at /usr/bin/perl-install/partition_table_empty.pm line 31.

Cleaning msec appended line in /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall : Can't open /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall: Filen eller katalogen finns inte. Would be nice if every fault reported had a tag that made it easy to extract the relevant data. Hope this helps. regards guran
