ianw1974 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 When I was using Mandriva 2006, compiling your own kernel was, at best, a bit of a disaster. Here's my post on Mandriva 2006: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...+kernel+compile there's lots of problems noted in there. Since Mandriva 2007 has been out, and I've just done a new install on new hardware - I was having some features and problems that I couldn't get fixed. I got the latest kernel, as of today (27 Dec 2006) which is 2.6.19.1. This has successfully compiled on Mandriva 2007 and am running it successfully. The steps I used, are the same as what I did in Mandriva 2006, except I didn't apply any patches this time for the boot loader screen - not fussed about that. [ian@europa ~]$ uname -a Linux europa.asseco.pl 2.6.19.1 #2 SMP Wed Dec 27 13:18:02 CET 2006 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz GNU/Linux [ian@europa ~]$ cat /etc/mandriva-release Mandriva Linux release 2007.0 (Official) for i586 I've been checking/testing the system so far, and not come across anything problematic like before. At least for the time being ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 hi IAN, May you please check your new installed kernel if by default, it supports the smbfs filesystem. On the precompiled Kernel of Mandriva 2007, on my box, it seems that smbfs is not supported... #cat /proc/filesystems nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev debugfs nodev sockfs nodev pipefs nodev futexfs nodev tmpfs nodev inotifyfs nodev eventpollfs nodev devpts ext2 cramfs nodev ramfs nodev hugetlbfs nodev mqueue ext3 nodev usbfs nodev binfmt_misc nodev autofs nodev cifs iso9660 vfat I cant mount windows shared drive using -t smbfs option... TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I don't use samba, but I expect I didn't compile the option into the kernel or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 what kernel are you using, aioshin? ohms@laptop:~$ uname -r 2.6.17-5mdv ohms@laptop:~$ cat /proc/filesystems nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev debugfs nodev sockfs nodev pipefs nodev futexfs nodev tmpfs nodev inotifyfs nodev eventpollfs nodev devpts ext2 cramfs nodev ramfs nodev hugetlbfs nodev mqueue ext3 nodev usbfs vfat nodev binfmt_misc nodev smbfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
