If you have two files which both depend on each other just install them simultaneously:
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.0.1mdk.rpm udev-007-2mdk.rpm
That should work.

What errors are you getting?

thank you! it worked and I installed the kernel and udev at the same time,but again same matter,while rebooting,in verbose mode says (modeprobe module is wrong version)ipvs table:module is wrong version)and( /usr/bin/alsa_ctl not found no such a directory) *sound works anyway!* again kfm or home dir opens too slowly and a few programs won't load.while shutting down in verbose mode says(flushing all chains:modeprobe module is wrong version
I installed
module-init-tools-0.9.15-0.pre4.1mdk.i586.rpm
modutils-2.4.25-2mdk.i586.rpm
sysfsutils-0.3.0-4mdk.i586.rpm
libsysfs0-0.3.0-4mdk.i586.rpm
procps-3.1.14-1mdk.i586.rpm
mkinitrd-3.4.43-10mdk.i586.rpm
udev-007-2mdk.i586.rpm
kernel-2.6.0.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

by the way, does anyone know if with all the mentioned rpms installed on mdk 9.2 the power management utilities will all be working without having to compile anything?

You only have a couple problems there which should be fixable.
flushing all chains:modeprobe module is wrong version
You are getting this error from your firewall, or iptables.

/usr/bin/alsa_ctl not found no such a directory
Thats weird, it should be alsactl not alsa_ctl.

First try running this as root and see if you get any errors:
depmod -a

As for the alsa problem try reinstalling alsa-utils.

I did(depmod -a)as root and nothing happened no text no messages,I am using firestrter and I unistalled it,because I noticed when I try to start it error came
flushing all chains issue solved
/usr/bin/alsactl (you're right alsactl not _ctl) first reboot comes but when I command as root this generate-modprobe.conf and after reboot next no errors
as for IPVS still error comes while booting
IPVS table:modprobe module wrong version

I don't get it why kfm or home directory opens to slowly as well some programs?

Do you really need Virtual Server? You can turn that off in Networking Support under Networking options and IP: Virtual server configuration.

Brain Drop
In Device Drivers section under Input device support, you should check Mice & PS/2 mouse & Synaptics touchpad.

You don't say what type card your PCMCIA WIFI is, but you should first enable PCMCIA in the Bus options under hot-plugable devices. Then in Networking either under PCMCIA devices or maybe in the Wireless LAN section you need to select your card.

/bin/bash, thanks
i guess i should say that i installed the new kernel from rpm.
your saying i need to do that thing where you configure the kernel source and compile it? ive tried that before but not in a long time.
if this is what youre saying, in mandrake is there and old configuration i can use from the 2.4 kernel?

The rpm should have had module support for both your touchpad and your PCMCIA WIFI card. Mandrake is good about supplying modules for almost all hardware. You may need to edit /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.preload.

But if you do have to build a new kernel I wouldn't use the 2.4 config file, but you can look at it and use it as a guide for configuring 2.6. There should be a copy in /boot. Also the rpm you have doesn't have the 2.6 source files, so you will need to get that.

i looked at the mopdprobe files and compared them to the older modules files but the only diff was a line in the preload for scsi hostadapter but it affect anything when i changed it.
i dont know, maybe i need to wait awhile until the next rpm is there.

Do you know which module the WIFI card uses? If you do just put it in /etc/modprobe.preload without the .ko extension. The touchpad should use the psmouse module, but it was probably without the synaptic touchpad enabled so you will have to compile that yourself, or find it somewhere else.

thanks a lot for your help, im gonna try to remember tomorow to hit you afero.
as for the wifi... its more broad like pcmcia, pcmcia is running but cardctl commands come back with something like no free socket( forgive me, i dont remember exactly) but with that and the touchpad i have decided to try and compile the kernel myself tonight or tomorow so we'll see what happens.

well i compiled the kernel and it works just the same as the one installed from rpm. so apparently there is still some compatibility issue with my hardware, i will search for others with these laptops who have succesfully installed 2.6 on them and see what they did.

wifi/pcmcia dead for me too

I too installed kernel-2.6.0.1mdk-1-1mdk on my fresh MDK9.2 install (machine: toshiba satellite 1800 series). Everything feels snappy! But wifi was dead when I rebooted.
Here is my full bug description:
Hardware:
- My laptop has an built-in intel ethernet card and a netgear (orinoco driver) pcmcia wifi card
Installation:
- added cooker to my urpmi database and updated it
- issued the command: urpmi kernel-2.6 .NOTE: did not install anything beyond what was suggested by URPMI. This might be the culprit and I shall investigate tonight -- while waiting up for Santa :-)
- rebooted and looked at dmesg for errors. None reported and following relevant ones found:
Quote:
eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:00:39:0A:78:98, IRQ 11.
Board assembly 000000-000, Physical connectors present: RJ45
Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
General self-test: passed.
Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
Internal registers self-test: passed.
ROM checksum self-test: passed (0xb874c1d3).
orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others)
Linux Kernel Card Services
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
orinoco_cs.c 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others)
Observations:
- I am able to wake up my internel NIC using the command: ifup eth0
- The wifi card does not appear to be powered (indicator LED is off)
- When I issue the command: ifup eth1 I get the message:
Quote:
orinoco_cs device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization
- lsmod does list the orinoco module

Do these provide some insight into what might be going wrong?
Thankx.

-Thas
