I've reinstal Mandrake 6.0
upgrade the kernel, and initscript
modifying lilo.conf
then run /sbin/lilo
then I test the power failure by pushing the power
button in X (I recently work in X) without any application
running.
Then I think the problem fixed in upgraded kernel
and initscripts is that my RPM database is still exist.
I can also login at the prompt.
The "mount/unmount [failed]" problem is always
exist.
(Below i include my previous problem
before upgrading the kernel.)
My friend told me that his SuSE has no problem
with power failure. He test it by pushing the power button
as i do, even many time.
Is Mandrake is going to fix this problem ?
Or Mandrake is made only for people who using UPS?
