Hi People!
I've just installed the second beta of Mandrake Linux 9.0 and there are some
bugs I'd like to report.
1)
Boot kernel (2.4.18-22) won't see the second HD (it's on a Promise FastTrak
RAID controller...) and it worked fine since 8.0 so that I used hda+hde for
my software RAID. Indeed when I connect hde+hdf (both disk to the RAID
controller) kernel hangs, at least till version 8.2 (2.4.18), so that I have
to build software-RAID with HDA (normal IDE controller) and HDE (ATA-RAID
controller). But now installer just found HDA...
2)
There's a typo in "Network config", maybe for Italian only. The message ask:
"Track AUDIO card (useful for laptop)"... should be "track network card" I
suppose! ;o)
[ Post-installation]
3)
Installing CDRECORD-CDDA2WAV --> "Group cdwriter does not exist, using ROOT"!
4)
While installing many RPM I get the following message (not always, maybe 8-10%
of the time):
cd /mnt/error : db4 error (-30988) from dbcursor --> c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND:
Request page not found
[not important...]
5)
Fonts in KDE are very big in my opinion... but that's just estetic!
6)
New RPMDRAKE really misses many many things: now source definition is a
separate tool, and I cannot list things like "Show only uninstalled package"
or, even better, "Show updates only"... Hope to have it back soon! =:)
6)
Gcombust is still at version 0.1.47 and it even have a security bug...
7)
I really miss OpenOffice... =:��<
8)
Maybe some more KDE themes? Even in a separate package...
9)
Netatalk (it's in main tree!) should be updated & recompiled against latest
GCC I suppose...
That's all at the moment!
Bye, Claudio
