Pristine, as installed:
DOS_hda2 FAT32
DOS_hda5 FAT32
DOS_hda6 FAT32
DOS_hda7 FAT32
DOS_hda8 FAT32
DOS_hdd5 FAT16
cdrom
disk
floppy
hd
Previous tests:
I can manually mount things in other places and KFM navigates
them just fine.
Removing all the supermounts proved that the problem is not
supermount-related.
After marking all the hda lines in /etc/fstab as noauto and rebooting, KFM
shows the /mnt directory correctly.
Mounting /dev/hda6 in a terminal window works.
Navigating into hda6 in terminal window works fine.
umounted hda6 in terminal window.
Using the desktop icons to mount:
hda2 OK
hda5 OK
hda6 hangs KFM!
Ctrl+Alt+F2, then Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Using Partition Magic 5.0 to examine this partition:
No errors found.
Reboot Oxygen and mount via icons but in a different order:
hda6 - mounts, clicking on mount point produces blank window and KFM is
now hung.
Boot up Win 98 SE:
Look at E: (hda6) with Explorer. Fine.
Thorough Scandisk of E: - Fine.
Boot PM 5.0 from floppy again:
C is 588.3 Mb FAT32
D is 1051.1 Mb FAT32
E is 627.5 Mb FAT32
F is 447.1 Mb FAT32
G is 604.0 Mb FAT32
So it is not a size problem.
Boot Oxygen again:
click-mount from Dos_hda7 icon - KFM freezes.
Make a Ctl+Alt+F2 terminal.
umount /dev/hda7 - busy.
Exercise mounting hda6 and hda8 to their defined mount
points and looking inside the partition - no problems. umount both - OK.
Tried a new File System Device D - mounts OK, but any attempt in KFM to
navigate into it freezes KFM. Looking at /root/Desktop/D.kdelink:
All the comment[xx] lines are missing. There is no field in the Properties
dialog for entering a comment, (which becomes the tooltip).
The # lines in the installed device kdelink files are missing from this one.
Conclusion:
The problem is located in KFM (Gnome or command line do not exhibit this
problem) .
Mandrake 6.1 (kdebase-1.1.2-9mdk) has no problem. Oxygen
(kdebase-1.1.2-30mdk) has this problem somewhere in these 21 more patch
levels done by MandrakeSoft.
This is a show-stopper problem.
