Hi Mandrake folks,
System: Abit KX7 with AMD XP 2000, DeXa Wireless KB/(Wheel)Mouse
Digital (Siemens DVB-S SAA7146) and Analogue (SAA7134
Terratec Cinergy 400) TV Cards, Matrox G450 GFX DH, SCSI,
Firewire card (works fine with 2.4.19), Realtek Ethernet,
SB Live Emu10k1, Creative CD-RW 12/10/32, Tevion optical
USB mouse, Teak SCSI CD-Rom (does not boot currently:
"Extremely broken BIOS detected... ;-( )
(I chose "Experte" and "Installation", German as install language.
msec: I chose securitey option "High" ("Hoch"))
Reported already on Beta2, still a problem: my CDRW does not
work quite correct when used with DMA (luckily install still
started)
Next thing: No mouse worked, neither my optical usb mouse
nor the PS/2 mouse, so I had to use keyboard until I could
choose a mouse. (I have a Tevion MD9470, this is reported as
"found usb mouse unknown Chic Technology Corp.|PS2/USB Combo Mouse
()").
The typo "die die Lizenz" and the duplicated parts I reported
with beta4 were not corrected up to rc2.
On package selection I got a lot of "unknown packages" as I
loaded them from a floppy disk. After that all selection was
gone (i.e. only minimum package selection left)
(these was a package selection from a 8.2 Mandrake Pro install).
Luckily I had an auto_inst from 9.0 beta4 which turned out to
work.
Typo: in recode-devel: "This package contains hearder files."
should be "header files"
Some (all ?) texts on the "splash" screen during installation
were not translated into german. (f.e. Discover Mandrake Club).
As I inserted CD3 I found it a bit strange to read "Bitte Legen
Sie die CD-ROM ''Mandrake Linux 9.0 download rc2 International
CD (x86)'' in Ihr Laufwerk...". There was no number indicating
which CD I should insert.
Since beta4 I cannot configure my USB printer as I get an
error "Cannot read printrc file" and network does not seem
to start (thought it works just fine after install).
I also saw the message "no network seems to be configured
for internet (,yes). When I deactive the "Autoerkennung von
Druckern" Mandrake still tries to start the network :-(
None of my video cards are shown during "Zusammenfassung".
(summary). Upon reboot for both cards module was "unknown".
See also my lspcidrake -v output. Even selecting TV card
in control-center did not reveal any card.
Services: Interesting to see that "hpoj" gets started, when
I choose to install that package (even though my printer
was not configured).
As already reported in beta4, sensors are still not correctly
configured for the VIA chipset.
I needed to comment the second head for my Matrox G450 DH
to get X11R6 it running at all (X11 aborted with Fatal Error
Signal 11), log file included. Xinerama (de)activation did not
change anything to it (I have nothing connected to the second
head, but the default selection which I chose was to install
both heads seperateky). The core files created by X did not
show a useful backtrace, sorry.
I added report.bug etc. to this mail. Please rename
report_bug_bz2 to report.bug.bz2 etc.
If this is too lengthy tell me and I send every paragraph
as extra mail :-)
