Clean install of Mandriva LE 2005.

Apache2 & Webmin work local but not

from the LAN.

Mandriva LE 2005 is at IP 192.168.0.4

Apache2

local

http://localhost/ (works)

http://localhost/~mysite/ (works)

https://127.0.0.1/~mysite/ (works)

http://192.168.0.4/~mysite/ (works)

from any another computer on the LAN

http://192.168.0.4/~mysite/ (no connect)

Webmin

https://localhost:10000/ (works)

https://127.0.0.1:10000/ (works)

https://192.168.0.4:10000/ (works)

from any another computer on the LAN

https://192.168.0.4:10000/ (no connect)

There are two other computers on the LAN at

192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3

192.168.0.3 is a Mandrake 9.2 Apachie

server that works fine. Webmin works

fine on it too.

Thanks for any hints

I have a successful load of Mandriva LE 2005 using

three disks. But, after Gnome comes up it no longer

sees the CD/DVD drive. The Mandrake Control Center sees no

CD/DVD Burner. There is no CD-ROM icon on the desktop.

Loading of any kind of disk results in nothing.

Running SU in Terminal:

cdrecord -scanbus

results in:

scsibus1:

1,0,0 100) 'SONY ' 'DVD RW DW-D26A ' 'JYS1' Removable CD-ROM

cdrecord seems to be fine and running in su mode

floppy works fine and I can see, and copy files

off and on a floppy in the Gnome environment.

fstab looks like this:

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details

/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1

/dev/sda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2

/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0

none /proc proc defaults 0 0

/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

I do not see a /dev/cdroms directory

there is a mnt/cdrom directory, nothing in it

Did I miss something in the config set up?

Thanks for any hints

I personally would suggest downloading CD2 again, since it could be a problem with your ISO image, if you've burnt it twice, and at a slower speed too, since faster burns can cause issues like this as well.

Success. I burned CD1 at 4x instead of 8x and I've been able to load Madriva LE 2005 successfully, twice. Thanks :D

The 99999999999999999999999999999 mean that your MBR is corrupted.

 

The only practical way out is to CLEAR the MBR using any one of a couple of methods.

Only then will you be able to set up a problem free booting up.

It is most likely you corrupted the mbr when you did an incorrect or incomplete boot setup during your first attempt at the Mandriva install .

 

Cheers.                          JOHN.

My new system contains a removable Hard disk

tray. I can A <=> B <=> C hard drives to my

hearts content. The boot sequence is:

Floppy -> DVD/CD -> HD

I built a bootable Win98 (actually a nice floppy

based OS) with fdisk and killdisk

http://www.killdisk.com/

on it. With fdisk and killdisk I can literally

take the mounted HD to nothing but "0"s end to end.

Including tk0,sec0,,hd0 and that includes the

MBR sector. You only have to run killdisk for a

second or so to clear out the MBR. When I am

experimenting with a new OS, like Mandriva LE 2005,

I wipe the disk entirely clean before installing

the first CD/DVD installation disk.

Another question in this thread. Do you find that CD-R vs CD-RW or visa versa burn more successfully with the Linux Distros?. Thanks all

I personally would suggest downloading CD2 again, since it could be a problem with your ISO image, if you've burnt it twice, and at a slower speed too, since faster burns can cause issues like this as well.

Thanks I'll give that one a try. (2x vs 4x)

Almost sure it's a bad CD burn.

That would be easy except I have tried two different CD drives,

2 CD-RW and 2 CD-R all with the same result. As mentioned

in other parts of this thread this is a common Install BUG with

Mandriva LE 2005 realeased last month. Interestingly enough

Mandriva MOVE runs just fine using the same platform, CD drives

and multiple CD-RW and CD-R media. It's not the drives

or the media.

I suspect the newness of this platform's SATA system is not

dialed into this Mandriva Release.

I have used two differnet CD drives, CD-RW and CD-R.

Also the same drives and combinations have been used with

Windows XP, Knoppix, Ubuntu, Ultimate CD, Puppy Linux

and several others. All successfully.

From the many threads concerning the same issue it appears

that there is an install BUG in Mandriva LE 2005 with many

platforms.

I am well down the path with Ubuntu 5.04. That Linux Distro installs

cleanly and on the first try using exactly the same hardware and

platform.

A furhter note

ISO burner system

A further note. I am using a completely seperate

and running Mandrake 9.2 with Sony CD-RW system

with cdrecord in command line mode to burn the

install discs from the ISO image.

I too have the same problem with Mandriva LE 2005

Installation gets to partitioning then:

An error has occured

fatal: nohdlist nor synthesis to read

for installation CD2 (cdrom2)

and stops. I have tried all kinds of solutions but

cannot go beyond the error. I have created a DOS

MBR that I allow to be over written, completly

erase all data on disk (diskkill to all "0"s)

and tried all the options. Let it use the entire

completely empty drive. Nothing seems to work.

Feel free to make suggestions. I use removable

hard drives so nothing is at risk.

OS's that install or run on the below same system

under the same circumstances are:

Windows XP Home SP2 Full install to HD

Knoppix 3.8.1 (Live CD)

Ubuntu 5.04 Full install to HD

Mandriva Move 2.0 (Live CD)
