Thought I'd start the upgrade path on the machine whih originally brought me
to Mandrake - my Digital HiNote VP.
Tarred up the /etc, /home, chucked them on server, installed 8.2
All well so far, not a problem, until ......
.... on reboot, disk thrashed around for ages, just after the "detecting new
hardware" item
Eventually (we're talking 20 minutes here), a login prompt. OK, but no
network & no sound.
Looked in old modules.conf, loaded and inserted relevant sound drivers
(cs4232) - one issue fixed.
The other still remains. I have a Compaq combo modem/100/10 card, which uses
the xirc2ps_cs module. If the card is in at boot, the system takes forever to
boot, complaining about too many open files, and when it does come up, there
is no network.
Manually ejecting the card and reinserting it loads the modules and brings
the network up, but only at 10 (I have a 100 network).
All this worked perfectly under 7.x though 8.1 - so something seems to have
gotten broken here.
Ideas? Suggestions? Civileme???
All welcome....and thanked
