Hi,
I've installed all three betas and I've noticed a few problems. I'm unsure if
these are Mandrake specific or kernel related.
1) Immediately after the login prompt (I don't boot into X), I get the
following messages:
Winbond Super-IO detection, now testing ports 3F0, 370, 250, 4E, 2E...
SMSC Super-IO detection, now testing ports 2F0, 370...
After that it just remains there until I hit Ctrl-C, which returns me to the
login prompt. This has been the case for all three betas.
2) On the KDE desktop, the install process places a ZIP drive icon. This is
correct. However, the link is dead. Under 'properties', the URL is given as
"/mnt.zip". Shouldn't this be "/mnt/zip"?
3) Under KDE, clicking on "DrakConf --> Hardware --> Display" it
automatically installs XFree86 3.3.6 without asking permission. I didn't want
XFree86 3.3.6 installed. X crashed hard moments later.
4) I sometimes get SCSI errors during the shutdown process; it seems it can't
umount some file systems (might be USB Zip drive related)
My systems is as follows:
PIII 450
128 MB RAM
TNT 16 MB graphics card
USB Zip 100 drive
I'm not sure if these are known issues, but I thought I let you know just in
case. LM 8.0 is coming along very nicely, I can't wait until the final
release.
