ianw1974 Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 How would I install it manually if I don't urpmi the kernel in? I thought I would urpmi the source and kernel at the same time. Is that OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I installed the kernel-2.6.8.1.24mdk-1-1mdk and also the kernel-source-2.6.8.1-24. System rebooted fine, and I removed the old kernel of kernel-2.6.8.1-12. I had to reinstall the drivers for my Intel video card, but this wasn't a major deal, and worked OK. I kind of expected I would have to, as they were installed on the old kernel. The only thing I did notice was that when I reboot the system, the blue mandrake shut-down screen has a yellow border about half an inch wide around the extents of the screen! The way my system boots at the moment is that it doesn't load Xorg straightaway. So I login at prompt, and then startx, which then loads KDE for me. Any ideas as to the yellow border?

adamw Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 By 'install manually' I just meant to do 'urpmi kernel' :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't followed the discussion on that problem, so can't give you any input on it. I advice you search the forums. If you had a faster net connection, I'd just advice you to reinstall your xorg first (after the new kernel install), but I know you have 128, so you'd probably prefer some other solution.
