[Cooker] booting trouble
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I had a crash in XFree that forced me to reboot the hard way. At boot, I had many messages saying that dup2 could not work and /dev/null was on a readonly fs (I have not activated devfs). Then, I was told my fs was corrupted and drop to a shell. After fscking all my partitions (all of them in ext3), I rebooted and the problem persisted. It appeared with my 3 different kernels (vanilla 2.4.17, 2.4.18-23mdk and 2.4.19-6-mdkcustom), and with or without initrd. As I knew my filesystems were clean, I finally got the machine flying by putting rc=0 after fs checks in rc.sysinit so the script should not stop on these reports. Everything works fine now, but I'm pretty sure the problem will be back at next boot. My config is not an installed cooker, it's an 8.2 upgraded to cooker on a daily basis via drakupdaterobot. It's a laptop with a working hibernation, so I never reboot it without reasons. My uptime was of 17 days at the time of the crash. I add this to put a limit on the appearance of the problem.

I found the mseclib man page, which describe this and used it to create a

I attach it as a proposal.
msec is one of the critical parts of a Mandrake system, especially since
it performs system altering maintenance. To leave a user-space utility

It was not undocumented, just a little hard to find.

So urpmi doesn't work or urpmi work ? This is not clear from your response. I'll try to clarify. lets say we have versions A and B of a package.
