a bunch or problems.
Hi, I'm duel booting Mandrake linux 10.1 2.6.8.1-12mdk and windows 2k SP4 on a AMD machine.
AMD Athlon 3000+ (barton) Abit nf7-s 1 gig or corairs ram IDE hard drive as a Sata hard drive (converter{200 gig seagate}) 2 80 gig western digital hard drives (one is a MDT hard drive) 1 40 gig western digital hard drive Radeon 9800 pro 128 shuttle 10X dvd (<- swap in out but the swap bay for hard drives ->)sony 52x48x52 CD-rw ok let's 1. When I go to install the machine reports on my 40 gig hard drive (hdd) that it's has errors but when I boot into windows a complete scan disk report nothing. so before mandrake 10.1 install I wait about 30 secs on this part. 2. After it passes the hard drive error installation sometimes freezes on loading SATA drivers 3. when I select kernel source from the installation menu it loads source for 2.4 and not 2.6 (fixed this problem) 4. when I install mozilla (from internet) or Ymessenger I can't start X after I shut it down to do something else. Error is something about device isn't present at 2:0:1. just a few problems tossed at you guys. if you need logs for anyone please give directory and i'll post them. P.S. nothing is wrong with my XF86Config or xorg.conf file. |
Okey dokey.
I'd reccomend getting the latest kernel which will hopefully solve 1 and 2. That would be my first step anyway. As for 4 I'd install Gaim or Kopete as they are at least being developed unlike Yahoo messenger for unix which is years old IIRC. See how you go. Regards Chris |
