Yesterday I used the Mandrake Update Wizard to upgrade my system (because there was an irritating problem with CUPS, ghostscript or tetex, which does seem to have been fixed), and foolishly allowed it to upgrade the kernel (from 2.4.26 to kernel-2.4.8-34.1mdk).
After I finally managed to put the links right so I could reboot, I tried to use my SCSI cd writer, and "cdrecord -scanbus" does not detect it, although /proc/scsi/scsi lists the SCSI devices, including the cd writer, fine. In the past, when debugging things like this, I've rmmod'ed the SCSI module and modprobe'd it again and something gets fixed. This time, when I try to "modprobe advansys", I get a Segmentation Fault. Does anyone know whether there's a problem with the 2.4.8-37 advansys module, or if there's something else I need to do to get cdrecord working with the new kernel? And while I'm complaining, why does the Mandrake Update Wizard remove the old contents of /boot but not update the links to reflect the new contents, or do the mkinitrd for me? It seems to me that a real wizard could have done everything I did to cause the boot to be successful. And if the Wizard is too lazy to do the upgrade right, it should leave the old stuff so that the system is still bootable. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
