I didn't move the drive. What I did was install linux onto hda on the primary controller on the motherboard. I installed with the controller in the computer. The install went by fine and everything worked. When I rebooted I got that error. I then went in using the repair option on the cd and I can access all the drives. Everytime I reboot though it fails. :( Then I thought maybe i'll install without the IDE controller and then add it afterwards but I get the same error. I have a similar setup on another computer and it worked fine. So I"m thinking it's just something quirky with this particular board/chipset combo? I tried the livecd thing and it show the same thing that the rescue boot shows. Which matches the fstab entries. Here's my current setup i'll try and get stats with the ide controller. /dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda10 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /var/backup ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda9 /var/log ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdd1 /var/software ext3 defaults 1 2 pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

Hello, I need to put some additional drives in my computer. I purchased a Silicon Image IDE controller and I could install Mandriva 2006. When I rebooted the system came up with the error that it couldn't find the pivot root and a kernel-panic followed. So I took out the IDE controller and everything worked.. I have checked the bios but nothing really there that I can change. Well that worked anyway :) So at the moment I can't add the IDE controller if I want to be able to boot. I also tried a Promise controller with the same results. I have three drives and a cdrom on the regular IDE controllers. hda1 is my boot drive/partition. So does anybody have any suggestions on what I can try? My hardware: New IDE controller: SIL0680ACl344 - F-ATA0680-133R-01 -AL01 MotherBoard is: K8T Neo2-Fir (K8T800 PRO)

I have those packages installed. Starting Evolution from the konsole I sometimes see this: checking writable option 'auth' perms=00000040 checking writable option 'use_ssl' perms=00000010 checking writable option 'auth' perms=00000040 checking writable option 'use_ssl' perms=00000010 Ok one thing I forgot about totally was they are different versions of Mandriva. At home I have the 64bit version and at work I have the 32 bit. So this issue might be isolated to the 64 bit version

Well I have two pc's one at work and one at home. I have Mandriva 10.2 on both and I can't find the "USE SSL" option on my computer at home (evolution 2.0.4 on both). All I have is "check authentication type" at home. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get this feature back? Is there something that I may have missed at home? Packages? Anyway I really want to get this since i'm on a wireless network and i'm not sure how secure it is. Don't like passing passwords in plain text.

Okay, came home and tried it. Guess What? It works great. (Not that I didn't believe you) Steve I can't thank you enough. :) Maybe I was just being lazy but this really makes my life a little easier. Oh and I learned something handy for the future thanks.. :D

I was away for a bit so sorry for not replying sooner. I will try it as soon as I get home and post my results. Since Mandrake didn't detect the network card on it's own I manually edited/created the ifcfg-eth0 file to get it to work when I typed the ifup command. Thank you for taking the time to set this up on your computer to help me out :) Edgar.

Steve Scrimpshire: (or anyone) I know you said that you haven't tested the 3com gigabit ethernet but maybe you can answer my quesion anyway. I grabbed the drivers from the cd and compiled them. The ethernet works great only problem is that I have to manually run make load -> ifup eth0 everytime I want to get the network up. Not a big deal but I was wondering if there is a way to install the drivers so that Mandrake can recognize and load them on it's own. I could easily write a script to do the steps i do during boot up but wanted to know 'the proper' way to do it. Thanks

I have to save a configuration from a device that lets me telnet into it. It has a feature to dump all the settings to the screen but there are over a 2000+ lines of text and i can't seem to get it all. So I was just wondering if anyone here knows of a way to make telnet capture everything to a file.

:( Man once again i really should have done my research. I saw all those fancy graphs and thought a company like this in competition with Nvidia has to have drivers. But nope no drivers, support only available for there older lines. Well if drivers aren't out soon i'll just switch back to nvidia for good. Should have known better Oh well live and learn. Anyway does fooling X work for this card also (Radeon 9700)? If so were do i go to get the chip ID?
