That link doesn't really have anything...

Also, it's hard for me to install a lot of stuff right now because I don't have my wireless setup.

I installed the Mandriva Free DVD x64, and when it came to configure the Graphics card, I went with the automatic settings.

But when I restarted and booted into it, it would try to start the graphical system, and then it would die and go to a text based login.

It logged in, and tried starting kde and startx.

Both did the same thing.

I also tried changing the settings to use different graphic settings, and tried even using what I though was just a default setting/driver and it still didn't work.

Sometimes I would just get a blue screen with some weird white stuff on the right side.

I've never had this problem before!

Please help!

The card is a ATi Radeon x600. SE I believe.

So... yeah.. no help?

Here is the readme that comes with the driver. It doesn't work for me when I get to the make install part.

1. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For example,

  use /home/username/e1000 or /usr/local/src/e1000.

 

2. Untar/unzip archive:

    tar zxf e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz

 

3. Change to the driver src directory:

    cd e1000-x.x.x/src/

 

4. Compile the driver module:

    make install

 

  The binary will be installed as:

 

    /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.[k]o

 

  The install locations listed above are the default locations. They might

  not be correct for certain Linux distributions. For more information,

  see the ldistrib.txt file included in the driver tar.

 

5. Install the module:

    insmod e1000 <parameter>=<value>

Ok I download the x64 install CD, yeah the one with only one. Now the problem is when installing it couldn't detect my nic. And because of this it download the extra software.

And now I can't install the drivers because I'm missing software. The stuff that compiles the drivers or whatever. I can't tell you its called because I have to be in Windows right now and I forgot to write its name down.

So what am I supposed to do?

Hey, where can I get a link to the build a dvd from the from main repository?

Thanks.

Ummmmm. Ok. What does that mean? And when will that be about? Thanks.

Does mandrive support the new dual core processors? Because I just bought an Intel Pentium D, which is dual core. And I just wanna know. Thanks.

How do you get KDE 3.3 on Mandrake 10.1?

I mean thru dling packages rather then having to do thru kde.org's website

I was trying to start my samba but it wasn't even my services list, I do have installed.

Pls help!

I currently have the version dled from the website, but should I use urpmi mozilla-firefox instead?

On my ibm 770ed

in MDK10 I did this:

/usr/sbin/sndconfig --noprobe

Selected CS423x driver with the following settings

io=0x530

irq=5

dma=1

dma2=0

mpuio=0x300

mpuirq=5

The audio sample worked, then I rebooted my laptop.

But during the boot its said that it couldn't load the CS423x driver, b/c it was not found.

Pls help

During install no sound card was found so it told me to run 'sndconfig'

So I did, and I found the info I needed to enter of the internet.

Crystal 4232 (So I chose Crystal CS423x sound chip)

io= 0x530

irq=5

dma=1

dma2=0

mpuio=0x330

mpuirq=5

and after I input that its says it will play a sample blah blah.

Then I get this

The following error occurred running the modprobe program:                                                              
        WARNING: /etc/sndconfig-Coceoj line 2: ignoring bad line    
        starting with 'probeall'                                    
       FATAL: Error inserting cs4232                               
        (/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/kernel/sound/oss/cs4232.ko.gz):    
        No such device

I figured it out!

Ya go me!

It was the help gotten here, and a little bit of help from other source that I adapted from Wireless.

And then I just made some judgement calls.

Not to bad for a n00b?

Ok so I reinstalled mdk in hope that it would work (it didn't)

But I looked at the kernal messages as I did the network install.

And it showed me this:

the card according to it is: Megahertz 574B

and I believe it is in IRQ 11

lspci -v -v didn't work its said command not found.

And /etc/init.d/pcmcia status showed it wasn't running so I started it then it said: cardmgr[2685]: no sockets found!

Yeah,pc card is PCMCIA

I'll try this

I installed Mandrake 10.0 Official using the network bootdisk, and it worked fine with my 3Com 3CCFE574BT PC Card, but after Mandrake was installed, it could not find the card. And I can't setup networks, or go on the net. Please help.

Yes the jumpers are set correctly, it can boot from the CD

ah, ML-10-CE

boot with cd2 and when asked for an install method/media, insert cd1 and say yes to cdrom. Use the ide-cd module if asked.

I have tried that, it didn't work, its the device that it can't find.

And of knoppix and PCLinuxOS which would u suggest? And what about mandrakemove?

Thats seams like a lot to do just to make a disk, I'll try it if no on else can help me.

I boot of the CD everything works, but then it goofs up when I select install method, and says "No CD Device found" or something, then it asks me for a ext2 floppy with drivers on it.

I then read this:

We removed seldom used modules because they are large and mostly

about old hardware. You have a solution though:

 

- create a traditional "cdrom.img" floppy

 

- create an ext2 floppy with command:

 

  mke2fs /dev/fd0

 

- find your driver in the kernel-BOOT package; for example, the

  driver might be:

 

  /lib/modules/<kernel-version>BOOT/kernel/3rdparty/dc395x_trm/dc395x_trm.o.gz

 

- copy it unzipped on the ext2 floppy with the command or its

  equivalent for another driver:

 

  zcat /lib/modules/<kernel-version>BOOT/kernel/3rdparty/dc395x_trm/dc395x_trm.o.gz > /mnt/floppy/dc395x_trm.o

 

- also copy (unzipped) the dependencies for that module (such as

  scsi_mod.o for example; there might be others, check in the

  modules.dep file)

 

- boot the cdrom.img floppy with F1 then "linux expert", it will

  allow you to put the floppy and load the modules from there, in

  dependencies order of course (scsi_mod.o first, etc)

But I have no computer to format a Linux Disk, as my other computer is XP.

Please help!!
