Hi, I want to report some problems of Mandrake 8.x which were not present with Mandrake 7.x, it is just an info for Mandrake developers.
I installed MDK 7.x on two machines with ISA cards and it was a success: all hardware detected automatically and I got all my hardware working automatically. On the contrary, when updating to MDK 8.x, on one machine the ethernet 3com509 card was not detected and I moved back to MDK 7.x. On the other machine MDK 8.x detected the soundcard (classic soundblaster) but I was not able to get it working, detected my LS120 zip drive, but it did not mounted it because, having also a scsi controller, the system created an /etc/fstab very confused, my floppy 3.5" mounted on /mnt/floppy2 and hdb (my ls120) mounted on /mnt/floppy, but it does not work. On my PCI machine at home MDK 8.x installed succesfully. I saw the soundcard problem common to many people in newbie community but it seems not solved. Bye Renato
