Hi All,
Was able to download the new .iso file last Thursday and managed to burn
a CD-ROM before going home for the long weekend. So far I like what's
been added to 6.0 over 5.3, however there are some glitches that did not
happen with 5.3, such as;
When ever I turn the machine on or reboot I get the following during the
boot script (init file?),
Checking root filesystem
dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
dev/hda1 : Deleted node 41213 has zero dtime. FIXED
and
Delaying eth0 initialization [FAILED]
There is almost always a core dump file in my root directory as well.
Everything seems to be working OK after the machine boots, but I still
want to know what is causing this and what I can do to fix the problem.
My computer is a Compaq Presario 1681 laptop with 96 meg of ram and a
3.2 gig hard drive. The Information Systems group could not get it to
work with the new Novell client for Windows and they were going to scrap
it. I asked the director of I.S. for the computer so that I might learn
more about Linux. Thus I have a freebie laptop running an open source
OS.
One other annoying problem that was carried over from 5.3 is I can not
run the laptop on battery power for mor than a few minutes before the
battery seems to be fully drained. With windows on the machine it would
last about two hours. I was thinking the laptop settings in 6.0 might
solve this problem but I have not figured it out yet. Do I need to
disable power management in the BIOS?
Thanks In Advance,
Bob Gilley
