I have installed LM 8.0 on my system. Everything seems ok except for the
following:
1. When I boot, and after the logon prompt is displayed, a bunch of
messages appear stating
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4 and
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-180.
2. During the install and in any subsequent upgrades, the installation
process would stall loading a program for some 15 to 30 seconds (or
more) and then carry on. A group of programs would load from the CD and
then it would stall in the middle of a load, and then continue. It
caused the program install process to take about 3 hours.
3. My desktop has disappeared. It initially happened when running KDE
as root. All the icons and panel were loading properly. Then when
re-starting KDE, it started up with the initialization screen (the KDE
logo) being displayed. Once the initialization finished, there was no
panel, or icons but the mouse pointer was shown. The screen did not
display any menus when clicked on by the right and left mouse buttons. I
started using another user, and KDE was working properly. Then it
stopped working for that user too.
I notice that the startup messages for KDE are displayed at the bottom
of the logo with the last one being "Loading the Desktop" and then
skipping to the end stating "KDE is up and running". Well it aint.
Any assistance would be most welcome... Tom.
