Which do you think is easier to support: A) Create an initrd for every install that you do.

I know of one reason... so that the reiserfs xfs or ext3 modules can be loaded before the / partition is loaded. The file systems are modules not built in with the stock kernel. I've tried to build in reiserfs rather than as a module but the results weren't optimal. James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Not all systems are created equal. initrd is a rough parallel to CONFIG.SYS and drivers in WinDOS. initrd is created custom for your system when you install. If every possible driver was included in the kernel, the kernel would become too bloated for good performance or installation on a boot floppy. -- "A gentle answer turns away wrath."Proverbs 15:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I can't speak for Mandrake, but the use of an initrd is often desired Instead of building every single filesystem and device driver that could possibly be required into the kernel, the initrd allows the kernel to be built modularly but still support esoteric hardware.

If you're using SCSI or more esoteric boot devices or don't have your your filesystem type (ext3, reiser) built into the kernel then you need to make an initrd. To do so: su - mkinitrd initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` This will create an initrd for the current kernel. Look at the manpages for other options.

In other words, say that you need a particular SCSI driver to access your hard disk. The driver, or module, is located somewhere in /lib/modules/ but of course, you can't access the drive until you load the module. initrd is a way of preloading these necessary modules before the rest of the filesystem comes online.

I saw that some compiled kernels include such a file in the /boot directory and also include it in lilo, but others don't put any initrd in the /boot directory and also I find no initrd section for them in the lilo.

[expert] sorry :-(
Sorry all about the bounced email you must have received. The phone company came yesterday and installed a second line for our neighbor and in the process they managed to make a clean cut in our line! Consequently, by the time we got home and realized what happened and were able to call them, they couldn't get out and fix it until today so my email server has been down for about 36 hours.

A little early morning humor (hey, the list had no traffic). A little old lady called 911. When the operator answered she yelled, "Help! Send the police to my house right away! There's a damned republican on my front porch and he's playing with himself." "What?" the operator exclaimed! "I said there is a damned republican on my front porch playing with himself!

[expert] sorry if OT, hardware experts anyone??
Hello list. I seem to be having great difficulty with my serial ports being engaged. I have a motherboard from JDR Microdevices with the VIA chipset on it, (Host bridge: VIA technologies VT 82C598 Apollo MVP3 (rev 4) PCI Bridge same as Host Bridge. ISA Bridge: VIA Technologies VT 82C586 Apollo ISA (rev 71) Ethernet controller 3Com Vendor id=10b7 Device id=9004 cpu is an AMDK6-400 If you need more info, I will gladly provide it. Use of serial ports seems to interfere with speed of adsl connection, this is a great and frustrating mystery to me. Any and all help appreciated.

Re: [expert] Sorry to beat a "dead horse" (SBLive!), but...
I got the same thing when I replaced my Ensoniq with PCI512 (SBLive without the Live! update feature). Had to get the driver from the CD.

So, if you're sure it's been asked before, why don't you search in the right places? Where do you find the right places? At http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ffreesup.php3 or just klick on the "Support" link in the menue on the Mandrake website. What a surprise!

Is there a definitive "howto" or anything about getting a SBLive to work under 7.0.2? I apologize for asking this -- I'm sure it's been answered a hundred times (but I can't find anything specific in my list archives). Mine did NOT auto-detect -- however, when I run sndconfig it appears to find the SBLive but then tells me that driver emu10k1 is not in the module path. That's as far as I've gotten. I'm hoping for a SIMPLE solution (aren't we all??? ). Thanks in advance Kevin Talley ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
[expert] SORRY!!
Ahem... Did I mention that I have some problems with NS-Mail 4.6 *grin*? Won't happen again. Will try it the Unix way with Sendmail and mutt. Nevermind tom P.S.: NS keeps saying it can't store mails in the Sent folder and can't create that folder either (well, it's still there...). This release is *much* worse than 4.08...
