I have two issues: 1. the update of RPMs failed on my K6-3d 451MHz, Dual Adaptec Fast Wide SCSI Server. Let suffice it to say that MANY of the RPMs appear to be partially updated. What is the best way (short of Installing a FRESH OS), to update the RPMs? Is the New Floppy Boot Disk the answer? 2. The kernel-source-2.2.14.-15mdk source code fails to boot. I eventually get the following Fatal Message: scsi: 3 hosts scsi: aborting command due to timeout: pid 47, scsi 2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 TEST UNIT Ready 00 00 00 00 00 scsi host 2 abort (pid 47) timed out - resetting scsi bus is being reset for host 2 channel 0, Kernel panic: aix7xxx: AWAITING_MSG for an SCB that does not have a waiting message. This was from a compiled kernel using the mdk source RPMs. There was also an entry in the /etc/conf.modules for aix7xxx which was unnecessary, as I compiled the support into the kernel. This was not intended to be a module. I obtained the same Kernel Source from kernel.org and recompiled it via the Redhat 2.2 Kernel FAQ (is Mandrake going to maintain one as well?), and found the problem with the /etc/conf.modules containing an entry for the aix7xxx driver which was unnecessary. After I removed it, it appears to boot perfectly! Question 2, what updates the /etc/conf.modules file? Apparently it needs to be reviewed, or put into the FAQ for additional info. I'll gladly post the differences between the Linux Kernel Source and Mandrake Kernel Source, if anyone is interested. Albert E.
