Re: [Cooker] [Bug 5917] [Hardware] Mandrake does not load on Machines without floppy drive

[Emmanuel Moll]

Could you check that acpi is enabled on the kernel you're booting (i.e. 
acpi=on not acpi=ht) cause that's when the problems arise. It would be 
interesting to see if this is the case or not.

Oh man, it must have been late in the evening. What I meant was: "Mandrake does
not load on machines with no floppy drives"... so please change "parallel port"
in my first statement to "floppy dive" :-D Very sorry about that....
   

I have no floppy drive in my laptop (Compal ACL-10). I don't know if I have
a parallel port (I think not), I don't think I ever checked. But Mandrake,
although not without problems, loads fine on that machine!
Are you sure it's the floppy drive, or is it a kernel bug for a specific
piece of hardware on your machine(s)?
Cheers
