I suggest subscribing to forum.mandriva.com where really helpful people hang
around.

I am surprised about that, since Cooker is now the upcoming 2009 version and
it is to be expected that in the course of this development there will be a
lot of breakage. Unless you are a developer with deep knowledge you should
not use Cooker at this early stage.

2008.1 has just been released and I am rather confident that it will work
for you. You can up/downgrade to this barely 1 week old brand new release
yuite easily and I think you should do that.
