Hi
1) There was an error installing packages
gatos-0.0.6-2001016-11mdk
Isn't this one in contrib normally?
2) Printer Configuration (Epson Stylus Photo 870, USB)
I tried to print a test page bit got nothing at all
The following command was issued (Ctrl-Alt-F3)
* running: /usr/bin/foomatic-printjob -s cups -P ep870_cooker_
/usr/share/printer-testpages/testprint.ps with root /mnt
After that (although nothing was printed) the installer GUI started to
be very unresponsive... Also my connected USB hard drive had the red
light on (like it was accessed) and this did not stop even when I was
rebooting... I had to switch the USB HD off and back on again.
Could it be there is a bad interaction between the USB HD and the USB
printer or something?
3) I installed cooker on a dedicated HD (hde) using the following
partitioning:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hde1 * 1 101 50872+ 83 Linux
/dev/hde2 102 79780 40158216 5 Extended
/dev/hde5 102 2181 1048288+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hde6 2182 79780 39109864+ 8e Linux LVM
Inside the LVM I have:
/dev/vg1/rootlv
/dev/vg1/usrlv
/dev/vg1/usrlocallv
/dev/vg1/homelv
/dev/vg1/optlv
/dev/vg1/varlv
/dev/vg1/tmplv
/dev/vg1/vmwarelv
I chose to install Grub on /dev/hde1.
On my primary HD (hda) I have XOSL (www.xosl.org) installed on a small
FAT16 partition (/dev/hda1) I then created a "Linux Mandrake 9.2" entry
pointing at /dev/hde1 to boot LM9.2
note: this is a setup I've been using for the last 2 years and has been
working well.
Unfortunately when I reboot and select "Linuxc Mandrake 9.2" in XOSL I
get "GRUB" displayed on the screen and then nothing else...
This is what I have in /boot (/dev/hde1):
