Re: [Cooker] Serial ATA support
I have an Asus nforce2 board with the SII chipset. I actually just swapped the drive out for a PATA drive. There are some mysterious lockups happening with my system, And a look at the LKML shows that a few SII owners are having the same issue. While my lock ups have been reduced with the SII controller turned off, they haven't gone away. will try some more stuff today. also seems there is a work around for WD and Maxtor drives in the driver that seriously cuts down performance with the Seagate drives. (though I think this can be changed with a option at boot time). My advice is to look over the LKML.

losing the interrupt frequently as it works it's way through.
It's set up in BASE mode as opposed to RAID mode. It's an SI chip, a

(although not actually in an array) when I set it up the first time.
I'll go back and set it up that way again if the current install fails,

This is frustrating - and something important that needs to be fixed,

Was the drive blank when you began? Was/is it the only hard drive
(including normal IDE HD's) in the system? Right now I'm attempting to
determine what is different about my system now that it doesn't like it.
Other than the size difference, that does look like my setup.

I have a cdr on hdc, thats it. It was an OEM drive when I started, but
that was with beta 2 I think. Did a fresh install today of rc2 with out

[Cooker] Firewire issues
Attached you will see some excerpts from my log file relating to issues I'm having with all the recent kernels (on a machine updated to cooker from beta 1). This log is from running the latest tmb kernel, however the same messages appear in the latest cooker kernel and the multimedia kernel. I have 3 drives hooked up via firewire and after a little fiddling with files (simple copies and moves, and directoy listing) the errors start. you can see that it took about 7 minutes after loading the sbp2 module and mounting the drives. All drives are ext3 formated. I also have a pioneer dvd burner in an enclosure which suffers from bus resets when burning with these kernels. I have a similar machine with the same pci firewire card and 9.1+updates running 2.4.21-0.18mdk which behaves fine with firewire drives. Wondering if anyone else has had trouble with recent kernels and firewire, and if any thing can be done to look into the casue of this. Thanks.

[Cooker] XFree with ATI All-in-wonder pro and Samsung Syncmaster 570V Flatpanel
I installed cooker (Aug 29) on a machine I threw together with some spare parts hoping to make it into a test box. It has an ATI All-in-wonder PRO agp card in it, driving a Samsung SyncMaster 570 V Flat panel display. XFdrake is not able to come up with a working config. I tried modifying the XF86Config-4 to try and get it working with no luck. Redhat Beta Null had an X that ran fine with this config (16bit color. 1024x768). Using the same details from the Redhat XF86Config, X won't work correctly with cooker. What happens is X comes up, the left half of the screen is okay, but the right half is flipped (right to left) and blurry. with the test screen the the left half of the rainbow screen is perfect and you the Yes/No dialog box is cut in the middle with the left half OK and Yes readable. The right half of the dialog is pushed all the way over to the right edge and is not readable, the rainbow lines are also blurry and not synced correctly. I've Attached the XF86Config produced by redhat null. But I think this problem lies with the ati driver.

[Cooker] [OT ?] keeping device names constant for removeable drives
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but, I think it is a usability issue. I now have 3 external removable storage devices, 1 acomdata 80 gig firewire drive (dev1), 1 firewire enclosure with a 30gig drive in it (dev2), and 1 usb smartmedia card reader (dev3). I have all 3 working fine with the latest cooker + some firewire cvs drivers (so the acomdata drive gets recognized). Problem: when ever I plug a device in it become sda, and then add more they becoe sdb,c.. say I have all 3 devices plugged in, then I have sda, sdb, and sdc. problem is dev3 is fat (smartmedia card) dev1 has ext3 and fat32 partitions on it and dev2 has just one ext3 partition on it. how do I set up fstab and I guess devfs so that no mater how many devices I have plugged in, and no matter what order they were plugged in, all I have to do is type: mount /mnt/smartmedia - dev3 mounts mount /mnt/fire1 - dev1 part1 mounts mount /mnt/fire2 - dev1 part2 mounts mount /mnt/fire3 - dev2 part1 mounts

(Bugs 85772) I think you mis-read the rel-notes, those are known issues, that are unresolved.. I check on Bug 58937 all the time because I use a diskless X terminal in my bedroom, and have lots of trouble with certian sites because of this bug. As of tonight Bug 58937 is still listed as assigned. still it would be nice to have the new release in 8.2 but if not, it will be one of the first things to change when cooker is thawed so it should be easy to update.

[Cooker] gtktalog segfault on report generation
I've been trying to get gtktalog to create a report based on some older files I have and going back to some 8.0 beta builds it would segfault when I had my file open and asked it to generate a report. I always figured a new build would fix it, but after grabing the latest from cooker, it still does it. To make sure it isn't because my files are too old, I created a new file, and merged it with my old one, but it still segfaulted with report generation... is anyone able to generate a report with gtktalog?
[Cooker] sound + flash
Has anyone noticed that if you have the flash plugin set up with mozilla/galeon (not sure about netscape 4.7x) and you have another audio source playing (ie xmms) mozilla/galeon won't load until you stop the other source playing. It also seems to sorta lock up the browser when loading some pages if something else is playing (when ever I go to www.zdnn.com my speakers kinda click-whent ehre is now other sound source). I have onboard sound through via686 stuff.. If I was to get a SB live card or something would that fix this?

[Cooker] realplay static
Hi... I installed the realplayer rpm available from real.com (rp8.linux20.libc6.i386.cs1.rpm) and am having an odd problem with it under 8.0, when playing a file/stream with it all you get is pretty much static. I played around with all the options realplayer has but no difference.

[Cooker] Ugly Fonts
just installed 8.0. The only problem (really annoying to me) is that my fonts are all screwed up in the browsers. after the install, just running mozilla or netscape, or even Konqueror my fonts look as shown in these 2 pictures: http://icculus.tube013.org/ugly-moz.jpg and http://icculus.tube013.org/ugly.net.jpg . In netscape if I change the font no real change occurs. In mozilla trying to change the font seg faults it. on both the 0.8.1 included in 8.0 and the nightly from last night. On an earlier install when this occured I installed some truetyp fonts from a windows partition, and that let enabled me to switch the fonts ion mozilla, but after switching to anything else, the text would be all carbled in places, with text over lapping pictures and text links. Am I the only one seeing this? Thanks

[Cooker] hardware monitoring + SGI 1600SW
I'm trying to get the hardware monitoring working. I have an epox 8KTA+ board which has the VIA VT82C686A chipset for monitoring. And have the latest cooker installed (4/17/00 + updates through today) I installed the lm_utils rpm, and ran sensors-detect. after sensors-detect lsmod showed: i2c-dev 3616 0 i2c-viapro 3648 0 i2c-core 12592 0 [i2c-dev i2c-viapro] when I run sensors as root now, I just get: "Can't access /proc file" anybody been succesfull with getting hardware monitoring to run on board with the VIA VT82C686A chipset? On another note, I'm thinking of getting a sqi 1600sw flat panel monitor, I was wondering if anyone on the cooker list uses it with mandrake, and if so what graphics card they'd recommed for best performance, and easiest configuration with teh 1600sw. I've been really impressed with the stability of the rc1/cooker installs I've done of the the past 2 weeks, keep up the good work.

[Cooker] RC1 feedback
A few comments on RC1 of 8.0 First off in the slides that run during the package installation, The wording needs to change. "Thanks to have chosen Linux-Mandrake" Just doen't sound right. how about "Thank you for chosing Linux-Mandrake" or something along those lines. Second, On my system during the install and normal running I constantly get console messages: "usb-uhci.c: interrupt, Status 3, frame 716" the last number varies on every message. My system is has a Epox 8kta mainboard with a duron 700. I use a logitech wheel mouse - usb. also plugged into usb is my HP 882C inkjet. Third, the I boot into X with kdm, the user list includes all the "builtin users" along with the created ones, ie it includes alias, axfrdns, dnscache, dnslog. and finally, in a gnome session I like to use the menu bar at the top, and the programs menus are all messed up. They have the normal gnome menu's at the top, and then a seperater with the mandrake menus that are not common with the gnome ones, and then a nother seperator with the normal mandrake menus. the gnome menus are merged with the mandrake ones, meaning in "Applications" I have the gnome apps, plus the normal mandrake sub-menus. Menu Drake and gnome menu edit both seem to not be able to help this problem. The Mandrake Menus section should be removed since they are all already there/merged with the gnome menus. this all leads to a lot of confusion. Below is a listing of what my menu looks like when I click on "Programs" from the menu panel in gnome: Programs - -Applications -Utilities -Development -Games -Graphics -Internet -Multimedia -Settings -Help system -File Manager - -Office -Terminals -Networking -Configuration -Amusement -Documentation -- Mandrake Menus -- -Multimedia -Office -Applications -Terminals -Networking -Configuration -Amusement -Documentation -- -Applets -Run... Other than the above things seem to be going okay oh yea, I can't connect to qa.mandrakesoft.com
[Cooker] rpmdrake/urpmi unusable (beta 3 +)
Hi, I recently installed beta 3, and when I went to run rpmdrake, when ever it would "Analyze sources" it would seg fault after the install cd's were "analyzed". I then upgraded urpmi and rpmdrake to the versions on cooker (rpmdrake-1.3-41mdk, urpmi-1.5-28mdk) now rpmdrake runs normally, and is able to display package lists, but when I select something to upgrade/install I get errors that the pakages can't be found. Also interesting is that before I upgraded urpmi to 1.5-28mdk (1.5-26) if run from a console, urpmi would spit back errors about not being able to write to the /var/lib/urpmi/depslist.ordered and also /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg I checked on both of those files and they are there, writable by owner (root) but they are both listed as 0 size. is there any work around to beable to get rpmdrake to work? thanks.
