Error on Drakconf - [SOLVED]

[sjaglin]

Hi,

New to cooker, so I ask my question and then I put the bullet proff jacket and u start shooting :

 

System = Biostar ideq 210v with hda 150Gb and sda 160Gb.

 

Cooker on sda (already hava a couple of distros on sda)

 

I just installed and then urpme kat then update all sources (easy urpmi) then urpmi --auto-select.

 

Now, I can t satrt drak conf :

 

[root@localhost stephane]# lsmod|grep sata
sata_via				5700  0
libata				 41508  1 sata_via
[root@localhost stephane]# drakco
drakconf	   drakconf.real  drakconnect	drakconsole
[root@localhost stephane]# drakconf
[root@localhost stephane]# cannot get info for device (0, 0, 0, 0) at /usr/lib/l		ibDrakX/detect_devices.pm line 295.
[root@localhost stephane]#

 

Any thoughts??

 

Stef (u can shoot now) ;)

Well, first of all: You did something right. You don't use cooker as your primary/only distro but as something to play around with. Hat's off. I saw others who were not that intelligent. :D

 

I guess we need to know what is written in here:

/usr/lib/libDrakX/detect_devices.pm, line 295 (as the terminal already revealed).

 

Then, I guess your fstab would be useful and check your /var/log messages file. There might be some more valuable information on this problem for troubleshooting.

This is the bit in the lib file

 

 

"$dir/block/device/../../../..";

my $get_usb = sub { chomp_(cat_("$usb_dir/$_[0]")) };

 

# handle both old and new kernels:

my $node = -e "$dir/block" ? "$dir/block" : top(glob_("$dir/block*"));

my ($device) = readlink($node) =~ m!/block/(.*)!;

die "cannot get info for device ($host, $channel, $id, $lun)" if !$device; #this is line 295

 

my $media_type = ${{ st => 'tape', sr => 'cdrom', sd => 'hd' }}{substr($device, 0,

 

And here is fstab:

 

[root@localhost stephane]# cat /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/hda5 / reiserfs notail 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,users,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0022,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs umask=0022,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

 

That does not talk to me much, sorry

 

:o

*scratch my head*

 

Looks as if there is a coding error related to the devices automounting rules in drakconf... I'd ask at the developers IRC channel or file a bug.

Hummm,

Funny though because I remember that I first installed that version of cooker on sda and it was working fine then. I m gonna remove suse10 from my sda and install cooker on sda to see if it makes a difference

Hi,

I re-installed Cooker this time on sda6 (my Sata drive) and there it runs perfectly.

 

I wanted now to upgrade the kernel (as I heard the 2.6.12-14 is the latest), where do I find the rpm for it and for the kernel-source of the :unsure: same millesime? I want to be able to install me nvdias....

 

I've used easyurpmi to set-up my source + plfs etc, but urpmi -p kernel does not give me a choice for an updated kernel
