------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-19-10 16:43 ------- Good to know that kernel-2.4.22-12.tmb.1mdk works, anyway if you want to keep with the original kernel (or let's say you want to use kernel-multimedia), here are two quick fixes that do the job (choose the one you prefer): 1) rm /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o.gz ; depmod -a 2) recompile your kernel specifying "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=n" (normal floppy disk support) Mandrake Control Center now works flawlessly (see comment #13). NB: I still have commented floppy entries in /etc/modules.devfs, don't know if with original /etc/modules.devfs still works (even if I suppose it does). -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Hello, Following bug 4945 and 5877 and thanks to the help of ricksafe.casablanca, it appears that Mandrake Linux does not load on machines with no parellel port when acpi=on. On such machines harddrake always crashes during boot and if harddrake is disabled, the user cannot log on. The fix that was proposed is to remove the lines concerning the parallel port in /etc/modules.devfs. This allows to log in. However, the harddrake service still fails (and hangs the computer). I have tested this on two machines (laptop with no floppy and desktop computer with LS-120). On these machines, neither lspcidrake, not cat /pro/pci hang the computer (with the fix above). Emmanuel
