Thanx for the help!

No there are no errors.It looks like this:

Stopping haldaemon False

Stopping firestarter OK

...

And in drakconf in Services section i cant restart hal daemon.It cannot stop but it start again.

Stopping HAL daemon: [FAILED]

Starting HAL daemon: [ OK ]

Edit: Did the hal daemon is necessary? What did it do? Should i disable it?

When booting Linux i see that hal daemon boots correctly but when halt it cannot shutdown.It writes False.Is this something bad or...? How do i fix this?

ianw1974 the cd-rom is with auto option in fstab.I havent edited the 2.6.14-mm kernel.I just downloaded the rpm, recompile with athlon optimizations and installed.Thats it.

After installing 2.6.15.6 there is an error while boot:

Mounting local filesystems: mounting special device: mount: /dev/hdc does not exist!

But /dev/hdc exist!!! How to fix this?

Edit: I've returned to the old 2.6.14-mm because of this :(

The Mandriva bootsplash will no longer be present, but this is only a minor thing. I believe a patch can be applied, will update when I've checked/tested to see if the patch sorts it out.

There is a realised patch for 2.6.15.You can download it from here:

ftp://ftp.openbios.org/pub/bootsplash/ker...1.6-2.6.15.diff

I've tested it and it works!

To apply the patch follow this instructions:

cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < /path/to/bootsplash-3.1.6-2.6.15.diff

And then u have to change your configuration of the kernel with "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" if its not changed.U should enable "Frame-Buffer support" and select "VESA VGA graphics console" in the Console Drivers section.You also should disable "Use boot logo" and enable "Use splash screen".

What about multimedia kernels? I've seen that there is "kernel-multimedia-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm" (http://www.mde.djura.org/2006.0/RPMS/kernel-multimedia-2.6.12-12.mm.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm) and kernel-2.6.14.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm (ftp://mandrake.contactel.cz/Mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/kernel-2.6.14.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm)

Which one to use? Which is better and what is the difference?

Yes it exist.

I have not tryed with an audio cd.Only data CD but i think it will be the same.Maby i found the problem.I have compiled a new vanilla kernel from kernel.org and maby i was selected wrong modules.Which modules to select for the CD-ROM? It is LG GCE-8526B.

Yes the CD's are good.I'm a newbee so i wont understand anything from logs :( I even dont know where are they.

It doesent help.The same error.

When i insert a CD and when i try to mount it gives me the following error:

Could not mount device.

The reported error was:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,

missing codepage or other error

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

dmesg | tail or so

What to do? Thanx.

I've installed lm-sensors but when i start ksensors it exits with error "KSensors error: sensors_init fail, error code -4"

Sorry for the offtopic, but how to see the current cpu temp?

Actually the problem was that Bootspash did not support kernel 2.6.15 and i downloaded a patch for bootsplash to support it.Now i have a good working 2.6.15.6 :P

I have installen a new fresh kernel 2.6.15.6 and this made the boot splash gone.How to enable the boot splash again? Thanx.

I added an option "options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1" in modprobe.conf .Thanx anyway ;)

I have a nVidia GeForce4 MX440 AGP card and in nvclock i see that Fastwrites are disabled.How to enable it? Thanx.

Yes but it does not help.

tyme it works in cedega but there are problems with the font.i cant use encoding in cedega so i prefer wine but in wine is the problem with the selection of users. :(

Yes i'm useing xchat,but i'm not the only one that am useing this PC at home! So please can u help? ;)

I have a problem with Wine and mIRC.When selecting users from the users list it looks like i'm holding down the Ctrl key and it selects many users! Look at this screenshot: http://xthost.info/nvision/mirc.png

Ive tryed wine 0.9.6 up to 0.9.9 and the problem is still here!

Thanks.And how is better to rebuild the src? I Have an Athlon XP 2000+ (Thorton) CPU.With "--target i686" or "--target athlon" ?

kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk.i586.rpm

It is source.

I'm using this rpm: http://www.mde.djura.org/2006.0/RPMS/kerne...m.7mdk.i586.rpm

I'm trying to rebuild it with athlon or i686 optimizations but it gives me an error:

[user@Ceco Desktop]$ rpmbuild --rebuild --target=athlon kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk.i586.rpm

Installing kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk.i586.rpm

error: source package expected, binary found

error: kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.14-0.mm.7mdk.i586.rpm cannot be installed

What to do?
