I've got Mandrake 9.1 running on a Pentium 200MHz Pro with 48MB ram and its not quick, but it definately gets the job done. I had Windows 2000 running on this same machine with about the same performance.

Before I begin trying to install this on MDK 10 OE, I'd just like to know if anyone has successfully installed it. I plan on using Wine, as I don't see any other way around it. I need your input on whether or not if's feasable. Mainly, I do HTML creation with Dreamweaver MX.

While I do like the Firefox concept, I'm not quite sure I'd use it on a type of kiosk. If I were in your shoes, I'd certainly give Mozilla another look.

You might be able to do something about your latter problem by removing the CMOS battery and reinserting it, erasing the values stored for the BIOS.

June 4, 2004

Seems to be fine with Apic disabled, but like you said, I've gotta make a trip to the bios to boot XP. I did a little research on the Apic deal, and noticed that Apic is an NT-based setting. So if I didn't have XP (or another NT based OS) that this setting probably wouldn't matter. Oh well, a trip to the bios every now and again is worth Mandrake functioning. :D

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?

# urpmi kernel-source-2.6.3-7
Everything already installed

Everything looks good. I too am using 2.6.3-7

June 3, 2004

Thanks, I've changed my bios to reflect those values. Nothing has locked on me yet, I'll keep you guys posted!

June 3, 2004

Oh and FYI:

When I try to run a make and compile drivers, I get a similar result. Does this mean I have incorrect kernel sources installed?

Until I installed the nVidia drivers for my nForce2 chipset, MDK 10 OE/CE would lockup like crazy. I installed them, but they were built for my former 9.2 installation. I'm trying to rebuild the source rpm to accomodate my newer MDK install, rather than use my 9.2 built rpm. I still get some lockups, which is why im trying to rebuild.

June 2, 2004

I'm using kernel 2.6.3-7mdk

The sources I'm using are installed from the MDK 10 OE cds.

June 2, 2004

Yep, shows everything is installed correctly. Thats why I'm so bamboozled. lol

June 2, 2004

I've already got the rpm-build package installed. I did that along with kernel headers / sources.

Here's the whole she-bang.

Tried that, and I still got the same output errors.

I'm running this within a console as SU.

June 1, 2004

   user buildmeister does not exist - using root

   user buildmeister does not exist - using root

I'm not real sure what any of that means, those are the output errors I get when I try to execute:

rpm --rebuild /home/crock/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0274.src.rpm

any ideas?

May 29, 2004

Try reinstalling with the complimentary output plugins. I noticed mine would crash on the OSS output but works fine with ALSA.

May 10, 2004

Seems like ever since I did the modprobe.preload thing, every time Mandrake starts up, it freezes when it begins to load X. Another restart, and everything works fine.

Weird huh?

May 9, 2004

Thanks again!

May 9, 2004

The modprobe nvidia worked just fine. Thanks a million.

One more question though. How exactly do I add that to the modprobe.preload?

It says comments are added with a "#" but aren't those ignored?

May 9, 2004

When I try to run a "startx" from the command line, it tries to initialize X but gives me an error stating that:

NVIDIA MODULE COULD NOT BE LOADED

Screens found, but none with usable configuration.

Everything seemed to have worked fine before I rebooted... Whats the problem?

May 7, 2004

Motherboard chipset drivers fixed my lockups, maybe you should look into that.

May 7, 2004

Worked like a charm! On another note, is there any way to install 10OE without the 2.4 kernel?

May 7, 2004

Is there any way I can change my LILO bootloader to boot to 263-7 as the default boot? Right now, at the top of the list, I've got Linux appearing - but it uses the 2.4 kernel series. I'd like to change the way those are ordered.

It appears something like:

Linux

Failsafe

263-7

Windows

Windows2

I'd like it to be something more like this:

263-7

Linux

Failsafe

Windows

Windows2

May 7, 2004

Confirming shautaniemi's post, the Numlock ON setting is usually located in the bios.

May 7, 2004

That was the entire problem. Installing the nForce2 drivers worked perfectly. I cannot say how unbelievable MDK 10 Official is. Thanks for the help!
