Thanks. I was able to stop X and run XFdrake. This fixed the mouse problem... temporarily. After restarting X everything was working fine so I rebooted to test if it would happen again and sure enough after the reboot my mouse goes dead again. Grrrr...

Anyone have any ideas when Mandrake will have a fix for that fix?

I was having the same problem so I disabled the harddrake service and that fixed the driver issue. But now my stupid mouse doesnt work and for some reason I cant seem to navagate around with the keyboard.

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does work to restart X. Whats the keyboard shortcut for stopping X ?

lol.. of all places to get forwarded to.

Are you running an nvidia graphics card with the official drivers? I was having similar issues until I disabled "agp fast write" in my BIOS.

Excellent icons! Thanks for posting them. :D

Oh well. Figures... UT2k4 comes out tomorrow. :(

Yes, I've rebooted.

Here's my complete fstab:

No luck. Still get the same message...

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems

Ok thanks guys. I'll give that a try. =)

I cant even install software via RPMDrake. Just keeps asking for the disc.

For example, if I try to mount one of my mandrake discs I get that message. Same thing if I try to brouse a data cd or dvd.

Mandrake 10 community installed just fine, or so I thought. I cant seem to access my Plextor PX-708A CD/DVD Burner.

I know the drive is working fine but when I try to mount either a CD or DVD I get this message: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems"

Here are the relevant parts of my lilo.conf and fstab:

lilo

fstab

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
