Do you have an nForce motherboard with onboard sound and network?

If so it could be a driver issue.

It happened to me when I installed MDK 10.1.

There was some sort of conflict with the sound and network.

I got the same error msg.

I had an extra network card laying around, installed it and overcame the issue.

 

Later,

i am almost sure that the dual-soundcard is causing the trouble. deactivate one of these in harddrake and deactivate harddrake afterwards from the booting-phase and test if you get it running that way. keep us informed on your advances.

good luck :thumbs:

That means there is something wrong with your setup. Go to the Mandrake Control Center/hardware/hardware (make sure every sound application is closed, including kmix in the systray)--> Select one of the soundcards--> click configure and choose the correct module (the alsa one). Do the same for the other card.

 

Go to MCC/system/services and make sure alsa is running. If not start it. If you get an error post it here.

 

Start kmix, if it still has the red cross something is still wrong. Go to the MCC and check for error messages. If not a red cross, everything should work.

 

Good luck.
