:-) yup - number 3 is the answer. I know from the previous times at this point that it's not going to boot; now I just want to see if maybe there's a bug in mkinitrd or something like that?

[expert] XFree86 log file out of control
Hi experts Just checked free disk space on my server (mdk 9.0) and found /var getting low on free space. The culprit was XFree86.0.log which had expended to 2GB. It was full of messages like: moutl(8, C70007) moutl(14, 123C5F) moutl(18, D0001) moutl(10, 12BC5F) minl(40) moutl(40, 2) minl(40) minl(40) moutl(C, 8000800) X is loaded on this machine, but very rarely used - only when I need to use a GUI when out of my depth. Anyone know what these messages might mean or what circumstance might have caused them to be issued? TIA Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The problem is that there are many-many s'kiddies out there, who are constantly portscanning whole blocks of IP addresses.

Re: [expert] Install trouble with ML9
Boy, it could be a lot of things. Is is stable now? What I would try, is to remove everything but what is needed and try it. Get rid of the scanner, scis controller if you can although I've NEVER had any trouble with the 2940 series. But it would cut out a bunch of things all at once. Then IF it works, start adding until it works. If it STILL doesn't work, I'd go over cmos settings and maybe set it to default or safe modes and see what happens. Another likely culprit could be buggy firmware. Go see if there is a firmware update for the Mobo. Good luck.

I moved the contents of the p80211, prism2_pci, prism2_plx, and prism2_usb subdirectories to a temporary hiding place (I just created a /root/hide directory), on the off chance that I might need them later. It should be safe to just rm them, but I'm not sure that the RPM manglers won't someday throw a hissy fit if they can't find everything they installed.

RE: [expert] massive resource problem with Mdk8.2 system
Hi Todd, I ran drakeopt on that machine, I played with hdparm, tried all sorts of stuff.. every time the speed went down, not up... eventually, I gave up and settled for what it had... and then I gave up on the whole install, I did want to work out what the prob was, but couldn't afford that box to be down this long.. So I installed nine onto it last night.. and this email is going through it and my adsl connection...so its all working now..

Re: [expert] MDK 9 & Sony Clié
I have found that binding to ttyUSB1 will not work until the port is created and destroyed once prior to hotsync and not before pilot-link has had an initial connection. My method after clean install of Mandrake (only has to be done once) 1. command line 2. plug in and press hotsync 3. let the device time out, clear error on device 4. press hotsync 5. pilot-xfer -p ttyUSB1 -b /home/me/clie/backup After a successful backup (hopefully), run jpilot and set the port up in preferences /dev/ttyUSB1. Close jpilot, press sync on the device and open jpilot and press sync... should work. I have found on all syncs after the initial sync that jpilot will not communicate with my clie until the device times out once. 1. press sync on the device/cradle and let it time out 2. press sync again and then open jpilot and press sync Support should be better than this but the what can you do.

If you examine the sysinit script, you'll see that Mandrake 9.0 is already turning off dma on the optical drives. You shouldn't have to pass ide=nodma to the kernel and then turn on dma on the harddrive.

I too don't want to go through the hassle of manually mounting stuff, after all supermount is meant to be a differentiating feature right? I can supply my drive info if any supermount hackers want to work with me to find a better cure.

First I pass ide=nodma using lilo and the append line, then when booting up I use hdparm just to switch DMA on just for the hard drive "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda" and this seems to work quiet well.. I have tried other tricks through LILO like ide1=nodma but this not work, and the fault remained..only through totally switching off the IDE DMA and switching back on for the hard seems to work me...
