How do I get a floppy to work in Mandrake10
MrX:
oh yeah, in another note, i crashed my linux system again. i was installing the linux nvidia drivers and screwed it up. i couldnt find the help topic on this forums site so i tried it. the same thing happened last time but i just formatted and restarted. it ogs in in the linux command promt and when i login and type 'kde'
it sais something like there is a screen but it cannot activate it. got any clues? then i can fix my floppy!
MrX:
pardon my spelling ^^^
flap:
how did you screw it up?
hm_murdock:
it's hard to mess up that install. more likely I'd say it screwed up. perhaps it installed the wrong driver for your kernel... or something fouled up somehwere else.
it's just that many people assume that when something goes wrong on a computer that it's their fault.
MrX:
really, i didna edit the file that makes it say from driver=vga to driver=nv or whatever it was. last time this happened to me i was playing armagetron and it froze(intel 440 chipset) that is not supported by mandrake.
this is what the screen sais :( i have to copy it on paper first)
Local host log in_ (my log in name)
i type 'kde'
yadda yadda xfree86stuff errors
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the nvdia kerel module
(EE) NVIDIA(0):***Aborting***
(EE) Screens found, but none have a useable configuration
Fatal server error: no screen found
then that same screen came up after i installed the nvdia drivers wrong. the first time this happend i then reformatted it and uprgaded to a 600 athlon from a 500 katami and i have some biostar motherboard with amd chipset. but hurry! this over ends soon. for a limited time only. aka- help me quik i need to do my important emails and armagetronning!!!!
