User Feedback :: DSL 0.8.0 issues

Well I just downloaded 0.8

Problems:
* Winmodem (I will not rest till I get it working)
* Sound Card (SoundMaxIntegrated Audio Detected as Intell AC97 and fails when it tries to play a sound)
* AGP port detection causes the xserver to crash taking everything with it (Black screen), I have to use the boot option "dsl noagp" to get around this (or DSL wont work).
* VGA mode was 791 I think. Had to manually change it to vga=normal
* Keboard Not fully supported when the xserver start, dosent support the numpad or the second alt shift and ctl buttons.
* More misc driver issues (which are probally not dsl's fault, e.g cant find my web cam)
* Even though I am 56k I do have a ethernet card integrated on to the mother board. 7.3 detected it but this one dosent seem to.
* Still the same HD install problems I had before with the filesystem mounting in read-only.

Well the main fix "I" noticed was that it detected my processor, that is I didnt get the Error Only One Processor Found any more. This means I dont have to give the boot command "dsl nosmp".

It would be cool if it had dev-c++.dsl

then I could get alot more people to use it.:D

Found out the problem - I think there is a bug related to my hardware config. I have a CDRW and a DVDRW. I boot DSL from CDRW and bootup starts, during hardware detection the DVD is assigned SCD0. DSL looks for the boot CD at SCD0 and times out as it is in the CDRW drive. One odd thing is that the DVD is detected as HD D.

Workaround - I found by accident it works I have DSL in both CD drives!

Any more info I can supply?

I know that, I was just joking.

I just wish I knew enough about linux to help out more.

And is it just me, or is my post count not changing from 0? Hmmm...

umm i have burned the 0.8 and.. here my issues
-- msi double processor piii 866, don't boot, hangs up, in this computer is where i usually run dsl..
-- asus double processor piii 1G works well, everything seems to be ok,

in both cases i have tested with the cd and with loadlin,,
when i boot with loadlin dsl prompt me always to configure my X settings,(0.7.2, had the same thing)

i'll post more details one time well tested

danini..

My compressed ISOs that worked under 0.7.2 (OpenOffice & Firefox) do not work with 0.8.0 at all. They still MD5 ok, so I know they haven't gotten corrupted or anything. Boot messages look like this:

Checking for myDSL apps ... ff oouser
firefox cloop: cannot read old architecture-dependant (format <=1.0) images, please use an older version of cloop for this file.
openoffice cloop: cannot read old architecture-dependant (format <=1.0) images, please use an older version of cloop for this file.
Done.

Strangely enough, the icons are present on the desktop but don't work. Any ideas?
