Anon has posted an English report of the story here, but this is my translation:
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!

I can't help but suggest grub instead of li or lo or 99
Does this mean that Grub is better than Lilo?
Why?
-
-
f you had 2.6.6 working on your computer, there should still be a lilo entry for it. It might be towards the bottom, but it should still be there.
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.
-
As phunni said, its just the kernel. Here's the ATI-GLX-UTILS for the XFREE86-4.3 server
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

You don't really have to format or partition anything to try Knoppix since it runs from the CD
Before I installed mandrake or got into Linux at all, I tried Knoppix in my winXP box, and here I am.
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:
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.

@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.

Also, after changing those BIOS values, the NoApic setting caused Windows to not boot successfully. It hung right after the bootloader selection. What does the Apic function do?
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:
I did not have the time to try it, when I'm done with it I'll post the outcome...
-
I am kind of dissapointed about not being able to get 3D accelration up and running, and not being able to play Region 3 DVD's. Otherwise all is well.
@ral
I did not have the time to try it myself, but it seems there is a solution for getting 3D to work:
Good luck.

Dual booting ML 10.0 OE and XP on the same HD, no problems at all!
Install MDK 10, halfway it hang
in Installing Mandriva

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.
