+<PRE>Hi all
+
+I'm a linux user for more than 10 years.
+Initially, I've used Conectiva and then switched to Mandrake.
+I've deployed Mandriva at almost all machines (~70) at work (I'm the IT
+manager, so, the users complained a lot, initially, but now they feel
+linux ok).
+My personal machine always have been cooker (work &amp; home).
+I've done some Mageia installs at work (including my Cauldron machine)
+but I was afraid of &quot;converting&quot; my cooker machine at home (a little bit
+unorthodox configuration).
+About 2 weeks ago, I dit it.
+Here's my feedback:
+
+1. I have a local mirror of Mageia, so, I've tried to burn a boot.iso cd
+(Cauldron) and do a HD install. No way. The installer complained that
+can not find Core 32.
+2. Next try DVD (x86_64) (Mageia 1, of course). No problems at all.
+3. After first boot, I've removed DVD resitories and added my local
+mirror. I did a urpmi --auto-select to update the installation. That's
+when the problems started.
+I have 4 internal HDs as jbod, 2 more internal HDs as a RAID 0 disk and
+an external HD connected as e-sata. My linux boot disk is sda (RAID 0 is
+a windows 7 disk). During the update of kernel, mageia tools did a
+complete mess with device.map, menu.lst and install.sh (at /boot/grub).
+Go back to DVD boot, and I've managed to edit the files manually and
+boot normally again.
+4. It's time to Cauldron! Fine upgrade. No errors unless the mess with
+boot again.
+Again DVD boot, etc...
+Now, every time I install or upgrade a kernel, I have to manually edit
+device.map, menu.lst and install.sh BEFORE rebooting.
+Mageia tools insists that RAID 0 is hd0 and my sda is hd1. That way I
+can't boot at all (linux &amp; windows). The only way to my configuration
+work ok is naming sda as hd0 and RAID 0 as hd4 (which is the BIOS order,
+by the way...).
+
+Apart of this problem (do not feel so bad. Mandriva did the same mess),
+congratulations to all of you who did an excellent job in a short time.
+
+Luiz Alberto Saba
+
+P.S.1: I use rpmsync in my mirroring script. Had to use the mandriva
+version, since Mageia do not have this script...
+P.S.2: My printer was connected via USB &amp; network, yet the installer did
+nothing. Only after the first boot I've managed to configure the
+printer. Why?
