I would certainly not discourage you from building your own kernel from source, as it is a very educational process. That said, it is by far easier to simply snag a 2.6.6 kernel from Mandrake's development tree (Cooker) and install it. Just download and do "rpm -ivh kernel...rpm" It will c...

lilo.conf and dmesg look right. Does the problem persist?

Hi Davide,
Try booting with "noapic" or "pci=noacpi" or both.

Hi Davide,
Doesn't seem so OT. I will see if I can resolve that one before the next version. I'm happy to hear that someone is using the dialin server. Are you connecting with a linux client or windows? I haven't tested much with windows.
Thanks for the report.

Hi Dave, You may find that package on CD 3 of Mandrake 10.0 community release. If you dont already have the CDs It would probably be best to install kernel 2.6.3-7mdk. This is the current default for the Mandrake 10.0 official release. You can get kernel 2.6.3-7mdk here: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux...

Hi Holge, I've been hoping someone else would jump in here with a reply. I have not had occasion to set up a joystick since kernel 2.6 came out. I see that Mandrake has a "joystick" package, utilities you may find useful. You may have better luck on a Mandrake mailing list, or Google. :) R...

Phil, Thanks for the suggestions. I've been experimenting to try and reproduce this problem on my home system. If I send a zma process a SIGSTOP the web interface becomes useless. Even though other monitors will continue to capture events, nothing can be viewed in the browser. Any new window opened ...

This is a wild guess. IE is notorious for currupting downloads. If that is what you have been using you might try installing Mozilla-Firefox and use it. You may find the side benefits alone make it worth the effort. (no more pop-ups)

If you are using only three partitions it should work just fine if they are all primary. Or an example that is typical of what diskdrake would do is like this: 3 GB primary partition = /dev/hda1 (this will be / ) Remainder of disk - extended partition = /dev/hda2 (this is just a container for logica...

Hi GGuyaz, I think you are probably running out out space on your root partition. Your ZM system needs little space for /home since all the video events and the database are under /var. Of course you may want to use the system for other things besides ZM so you may want plenty of room under /home. I...

Hi Rick, Thanks for the report. I will be sure to include the DSL config tools in the next version. Not sure what would cause the color cam to only display color sometimes. If the problem persists after a restart, you might post to the main 1.19.x forum. Maybe Philip can help you solve that one. On ...

Hi Ralph, The installer just copies files from the CD to the hard drive, there is no package extraction going on. Is it possible your CD is corrupted? You can check the CD against the md5sum file from the download page. If you put the CD in /dev/cdrom, "md5sum /dev/cdrom" should give the s...
