Hi there. I have on my computer Md2009.1. I updated the system and the kernel 2.6.29.6-desktop-586-1mnb was insatlled. After reboot the kernel doesn't start. I had to boot my comp with the old kernel 2.6.29.3-desktop586-1mnb there is something wrong with 2.6.29.6 or I missed something? thanks [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman]

Thanks scarecrow! I tried Md2009one but doesn't boot, all distros with kernel 2.6. doesn't boot (Mandriva one, Arch, TinyMe) I tried puppy too but it doesn't recognize my PCMCIA so I cannot networking. I'm still searching to bring up the interface I tried DSL but when I installed on HDD it destroyed my MBR so I have to reinstall Win and everything. This distro lacks in living with other OS on HDD. Finally Mdk9.2 was a reasonable choice. Now I have on my box Win98SE, Mdk9.2, Puppy4.2.1, FreeBSD7.2, but just for Win and Mdk I could bring up the network. For the others I'm still searching. After finding a solution I can compare them in term of speed and everything

Thanks Greg2, I did cardctl suspend 0 and my PCMCIA stoped but when I reboot the same message: Shuting down loopback interface Stopping pcmcia: cardgr [707]: executing: './network stop eth0' unregistered_netdevice ...... ufff and I had to use again "reset" botton When booting the network interface is bring up before PCMCIA card, so bringing up network report [failed] and after pcmcia start the network is on. and Mandrake9.2 was the maximum that I can put on my old box any sugestions

Hi there. I raised up with Mdk9.2 on my old computer Toshiba Tecra 510CDT (P1, 148MB ram, 40GB HDD). I have some problems with my PCMCIA card. When I stop the computer the servive cardmgr doesn't stop. It report: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to became free. Usage count =2 And because of that the system doesn't stop and I have to push the "reset" button. How can I solve that? thankx

thanx Greg2, so it's better to install packages from there than to try to update the kernel to 2.6 and to install the latest packages?

Hi there. I found an old laptop, Toshiba Tecra 510. The processor is Pentium I and 144MB memory and 40GB HDD. I succeed to install Mandrake 9.2 on it with X and blackbox as WM.

Hi there. For many reasons I want to run some Windows programs (Office 2007, CorelDraw, etc.) on my Mandriva Box. I tried to install Office 2007 through wine but couldn't succeed. Anyway I succeed with Office 2003. Now I want to try to install WinXP on my Mandriva with a virtual machine. In MCC I search for VBox and I got dkms-virtualbox - VirtualBox OSE kernel module Version: 2.0.2-2mdv2009.0. I don't know if this is the package for running Sun VirtualBox? Do you know some other VM that can be run in Mandriva? Thanks [moved from Software by spinynorman]
