Seems to me your problem could also be your nForce chipset and the "APIC-thing". Follow this link and see if it solves your problem. Good luck.

Mandrake overtaking French Government?????????????
NeoXP replied to NeoXP's topic in Everything Linux
D*mn, I have been searching for it on the board, but could not find it, thougt I was the first to have discovered it ............. Then the honour goes to you Anon Still all this is giving a great boost to OSS and Mandy in particular! -
When you're German isn't that bad, great opportunity for Mandy.......... clicker the click

Does this mean that Grub is better than Lilo? Why?

Go linux!!!!!!!!!!! Great news

I'm afraid not, I did a fresh reinstall without saving anything. Actually I'm working with XP because there are still two applications I've got to get working in ML. 1. A good p2p-client (this one should not be so hard) 2. I have a (windows) program to do my banking, I'm trying to get this working in vmware, but I still have not figured out how to get my modem running to send the transactions. Once I have found a solution for these 2, I'm going to do a last fresh install to switch completely to ML. Untill that time I'm messing around, and trying... Therefore I regulary mess everything leaving me nothing but a complete new fresh install. The good news is, I got kernel-2.6.7.0.rc2.1mdk to work yesterday, so untill now I'm a happy camper B)

I have a nForce MoBo, the magnificent Abit NF7-SL (with integrated Sound and Lan). I have ran ML from 9.0 - 10.1 cooker with it, as of ML 10.0 Community everything workes out of the box (only the APIC-thing). If you prefer ML 9.0 - 9.2, check this board for some guidelines on how to get the onboard NIC to work. I would go for the nForce-chipset!
-
Your Mobo, which chipset does it have?
-
I'm still kind of a newbie, I'm experimenting with ML, to replace XP on my major Box. I had to do a reinstall because of this experimenting. My problem is that my previous install was running on kernel-2.6.6-3mdk and I can't find this kernel with kernel-source. Kernel 2.6.6 was working perfectly on my (nForce) box (the APIC-thing was solved and so on). I'v tried the latest 2.6.7 RC but it isn't working (can't even boot into it, still working on it). If anyone of you got a mirror for kernel-2.6.6-3mdk I would be much obliged. Thx BTW I have tried to compile a kernel 2.6.6 from kernel.org but untill now it was'nt a succes. I need the precompiled one to get my box switching between ML and XP, without going into the bios to disable/enable APIC everytime.
-
Forgive me, I'm confused Do you mean that it is a kernel that I can install and boot into? If so, is it a kernel that comes with support (like 3D) for an Ati-card?
-
Annon, is it a ATI-driver you've posted, if so which X-version? :unsure: Thx
-
Knoppix also was my first experience with Linux, but since my onboard features were not recognized, I searched and found Overclockix. I like the distro, so I installed it to my HD to experiment with it. I found an interesting thing about upgrading to another kernel on their forum: click me!!!!! I want to try it and see if I can do that to Mandy as well. If it works on Mandy I'll post my experience. /edit: typos/

@Steve: Thx, for pointing me to the faq's, I'm sorry I did'nt take the trouble to look at it before coming up with my question. The faq indeed gives me all the answers @Gowator: At the moment I can't do without XP, still looking for a good p2p client for Linux (so all my mp3 and other data is on a FAT32 partition) and trying to get my modem to work in Linux for telebanking (maybe with VMWare for Linux). But when I finally get rid of XP, I will keep your advice in mind about setting up a partition accessible from different distro's.

Hi everyone, At the moment I'm dual-booting ML (It is a fresh install) and XP. I want to install 1 or 2 more distro's (like maybe Knoppix, Overclockix or Mepis). How can I install multiple distro's, I know I can create 1 partition as swap, but when I create 1 partition as /boot and 1 partition as /home, can I use them for all the distro's I plan to install? I have installed Overclockix (besides ML and XP) but I can't figure out how to configure my lilo.conf to get them running from Lilo (XP is on hda1-hda9, swap is on hda10, ML is on hda11 and Overclockix is on hda12, both ML and Overclockix with there own /boot and /home). Thx.
-
Good question! Everytime I change between XP and ML I go into the bios, to change the Apic option, if I leave Apic disabled XP won't boot. Also on my previous install I had kernel-2.6.6-3mdk installed, but I can't find it back on the sources (kernel 2.6.6 actually solve the problem with the randomly lockups, with Apic enabled in my bios). I tried kernel-2.6.7-rc1, but for some funny reason it just won't boot, so if someone can give me a link to kernel-2.6.6-3 (incl. kernel-source), I would be very thankfull.
-
Well, again, as far as I know there is no point in installing the official nForce-drivers because they don't support the 2.6 kernel. As for the randomly lockups, I had the same probs, I followed this thread to solve this problem. Also I read that you have to make sure that you have the latest bios-version. Good Luck.
-
Yesterday I installed kernel-2.6.7-0rc1 from cooker, but I cannot boot into it (no prob, after all it is a RC). My question is how to get rid of this kernel-version (I still have my previous kernel installed)? Thxs
-
Little question, why would you try to install the nForce-drivers? As to my knowledge the nForce-drivers don't support kernel 2.6
-
Correct, I found something on www.x.org, but in there downloadsection they speak of X11R6.7.0, so I figured that their x-server is named X11. Anyway do you (or anyone else) have experience with an alternative x-server?
-
OK, I think I'm did not have the right name! How can I explain? At first ML 10.0 should be released with Xfree86 4.4.0. After some issues with licence ML decided to go back to Xfree86 4.3.0, but I have heard of an alternative X-server and I thougt it is X11. Correct me if I'm wrong and post the right name of the alternative x-server.
-
Is there someone out there who is using X11 instead of Xfree86? How can I switch to X11 (I already found an RPM on the ftp-source, so I will be able to install it), do I have to uninstall Xfree86, do I start X11 the same way as I start Xfree86. Last (but not least) is there a good reason to switch to X11 (besides the license-issue)?
-
Yesterday I reinstalled ML 10 CE with the option APIC Disabled in my Bios (I have the latest Bios) and inmediately installed kernel 2.6.6-3mdk from Cooker, then I upgraded to OE from the 10.0 OE sources. After rebooting I enabled APIC and booted into the new kernel and had it up and running till this morning Finally my box is doing what I want it to (both in ML and in XP). B) Only thing is I can't find the kernel-source for kernel 2.6.6-3mdk. Has anyone found it already, I have to have it to install the drivers for my ATI card
-
There seems to be a solution: click me I did not have the time to try it, when I'm done with it I'll post the outcome...
-
@ral I did not have the time to try it myself, but it seems there is a solution for getting 3D to work: click me, click me Good luck.

Dual booting ML 10.0 OE and XP on the same HD, no problems at all!
