Card reader arrived today so thought I would try it out! Big mistake!
I read instructions on a board and following that took a look using
HardDrake - don't know if this is it or not. Instructions said to look
at hda. It says "old device file: /dev/hda" and just below " New devfs
device: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc".
That's when I should have posted! Thought I would plug it in and see if
it would auto detect on reboot, but it hung at "starting ALSA". So
unplugged it and rebooted without it, but still hung at ALSA. So here I
am in windows begging for help to get mandrake going again.
Frank I don't where I'm at with your requests because I can't get to my
emails in mandrake!
Thanks in advance
Rosemary
It may be hanging because it is looking for the card reader. Try putting Disk
1 in and booting and when you get the first screen do the F1 <enter> and
then type "rescue" at the prompt. When it brings up a dos like screen arrow
to the mount partitions and enter and when done do an exit and reboot the
computer. Let us know what happens, HTH
Frank suggested I install explore2fs and post the fstab file.
Here it is
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda9 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /mnt ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto
umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850
0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
