I just did a quick google on Linux compatibility with your mb, it 'appears' that the problem is only with the Linux Kernel 2.6.17? These links are 'not' Mandriva specific. This guy has it working with Linux kernel 2.6.16: http://www.phoronix.com/lch/?k=entry&l...ASUS%20M2N4-SLI This guy has it working with Linux kernel 2.6.18-2: http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=30492 So you may want to try a Linux distro with at least a Linux kernel > 2.6.18, unless someone here has a solution for you? Oh, and welcome to the MUB. :)

If your using Sun Java... it turns out that Sun's Java has its own copy of the Olson tzdata, and computes local time independently of the underlying OS, so you'll need to be sure the JRE is updated as well: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArt.../USDST_Faq.html

The HP support page also says “64 MB SyncDRAM, upgradable to 192 MB”: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...cname=c00045474 I'm sorry, but I can't explain what Windows recognizes? :huh:

A quick google shows that your laptop will only support a maximum of 192 MB: http://configurator.memorystock.com/result...p;modelid=10925

If your using a recent version of Mandriva Linux (or most Linux distros) with updates, you should be set. You can check it with: [greg@halfway ~]$ /usr/sbin/zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007 /etc/localtime Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 /etc/localtime Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 /etc/localtime Sun Nov 4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 /etc/localtime Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 if you see March and November, your ok. :)

You didn't give apt-get anything to install? It's apt-get install name-of-package replace name-of-package with whatever you want to install. Or you can do: apt-get update apt-get upgrade to upgrade your system.

command line interface :)

I've never used PClinuxOS, but I don't think you can install urpmi... and 'make it work'. You can however use 'apt-get install' from the cli.

You can try installing kde-i18n-it and using those fonts with Gnome (I'm guessing this works, I've never tried it).

I believe gstreamer looks for valgrind, and will use it 'if' it's available. If you have valgrind installed and you still have this problem do: ./configure --disable-valgrind if that causes configure to look for xine-lib (and you want to use gsteamer), you could try to edit the makefile (made without --disable-valgrind) with: CONFIG_ARGS += --disable-valgrind

It's been in the Linux kernel since 2.6.17-2 you will find it here: /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko.gz or replace '2.6.17-5mdv' with your kernel version, if it's different? but it needs the firmware to work.

OK, I though that was a driver that you d/l from another source, sorry for the confusion. Place the rt61.sys in the same directory that you have the rt61.inf and try ndiswrapper again please. I'm too slow... lxthusdan has arrived to help you now :)

What makes you think (where did you read) that's the driver for your card? I don't think that's the driver for you? What drivers work with your card using Windows? :huh:

I have the BCM4318 working with the Linux driver using Debian. I had to check on this for you before I posted... that driver is also in Mandriva 2007, if you would like to try it. You would have to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the firmware from the bcmwl5.sys to /lib/firmware that is needed for the use of this driver. Alternately I could make the 'latest' bcm43xx-fwcutter version and extract it for you on my Mandriva box? I don't think it would be legal for me to attach it here, but I could pm it to you. Then you would simply copy it to your /lib/firmware directory and do: modprobe bcm43xx and set it up with your gui. Let me know?

You were supposed to replace the 'driver.inf' with your driver, that now I know would be ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf you also should have the bcmwl5.sys file in the same directory as the bcmwl5.inf driver.

Were you using the mmc or terminal to set up your wireless? Did you do the: ndiswrapper -i driver.inf after you compiled your new ndiswrapper? Just for the heck of it... what wireless card are you using?

I've checked the data sheet: WL-170; Your card has a Marvell chipset, as lxthusdan has already noted. What drivers were you trying to use with ndiswrapper? You must use the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper. :)

Hi Pluto, welcome to the MUB I'm sorry if it appears that not many members are helping. I've searched for your card, and it would appear that noone has used it and/or documented it's use with Linux yet. Here are some list for your reference: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_alles.php? http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawi...ndex.php/List#S If you would like to take a look (until lxthusdan has time to help you) at the latest stable ndiswrapper, it's here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482 The instructions are here: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawi...hp/Installation Do you have a link for the drivers your trying to use now? If I can find some time later tonight, I'll take a look.

spinynorman posted this yesterday: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=39852 It contains a link to a very good installation tutorial. When you get to the partition format section, simply follow arctic's procedure that he his posted for you in this thread.

Thanks, I'll give that a go this weekend. What kernel did that give you?

Did you do that upgrade as per this post: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?s=&...st&p=299046 or did you use the script that is mentioned next in that thread? I've been waiting to see how that upgrade went... I may give it a try. :)

As a (not very positive) reference, here is a Toshiba Satellite L30-134 that is stalling at the same place during the boot: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=39596 I would check the BIOS options, as Ian has suggested.

Make sure you have libpcap0 and libpcap0-devel installed, then run configure again.

OK, I asked you that 2 days ago. :) Now you must go to the easy-urpmi and set it up as version 2007 and architecture x86_64 and be sure to include the plf repos. Make sure you 'first' do urpmi.removemedia -a before you add the new repos Then install dkms-ati-8.28.8-3plf2007.0.x86_64 and ati-8.28.8-3plf2007.0.x86_64

We need to know if your system cpu is 32bit or 64bit? We need to know which version of OS you are using, 32bit or 64bit?
