Mandrake 9.1 RC2

Blah, this thing just ate my post so I'll make this one short.


I am doing a dual boot system with XP and Mandrake.

I install XP first, then Linux.

XP works fine, and Linux only runs the first time you boot it up.

If you log off and restart I get this error while trying to load Mandrake.


localhost login: ldm_validate_partition_tables(): Disk Read Failed
ldm_validate_partition_tables(): Disk Read Failed
ldm_validate_partition_tables(): Disk Read Failed


It's strange because Mandrake works fine the first time I use it. Just after I restart it goes bad. I am new to linux so I don't know what to do. Windows still works fine ( or it was working fine untill 30 sec ago when I lost internet completly )

But I boot through lilo to linux/xp.

Durring boot up, I also see some stuff about modprobe, and insmod failing.


Any Ideas ?
 
It looks like it cant read your harddrives partition tables or file tables.

And all the other stuff doesnt say much to me, but i think your install of Mandrake is corrupt.
 
I seem to have gotten it working.


I get those same errors, but it loads now for some reason.

I just went back to my old Bios revision. But now my screen is messed up when i first log in , and i have to log out and back in to make the *glitch* go away.


I am gonna try 9.0 instead of this beta to see how it works out.
 
If you have a drive using raid... Turn it off when you boot into linux.

Your partitons should be :

/

swap

/home



:cool:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
