Comment Re:Upgrade experiences? (Score 1) 129
I tried to upgrade from Mandrake 5.3 (with KDE upgraded to 1.1.1) to Mandrake 6.
Everything was smooth during installation. After reboot I had some unpleasant surprises.
First, kde was screwed up totally.
Second, X server started to launch about 5 times slower than before (I don't know why yet).
I desided it will be cheaper to clean everything out and start from empty root partition, after that everything worked good, but X server still launches slowly, so I switched to init5 as a default.
Now I am trying to make recompiled kernel to work for me. Now it dies after checking SCSI, with
"kernel panic" message.
