How do I make an installation initrd.img for a new kernel?
by Barry Scott
I need up update the network install for FC4 so that it
supports new hardware (nVidia ethernet - forcedeth).
The 2.6.17 kernel is fine in this case. But the initrd.gz that
is installed in /boot is nothing like the images/pxeboot/initrd.img
from the installation CD.
I need to know how the images/pxeboot/initrd.img was made
so that I can make a new one for the 2.6.17 kernel.
Can anyone point in the right direction?

Problems with TCPDUMP 3.9.4 so can FC6 pick up TCPDUMP 3.9.5?
by Bruce Keats
Hi,
I am new to this list, but I was wondering if it is too late to get a new
version of TCPDUMP included in the FC6 line up? There are some problems
with the BPF code that is generated for the DLT_PRISM_HEADER which is of
importance to me, but there are probably other fixes in the last year or so
that might be of interest to others. My emails on the subject can be found
on the tcpdump works list (
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.tcpdump.devel) (* TCPDUMP 3.9.4 under
Fedora Core 5 seems to generate the wrong BPF for DLT_PRISM_HEADER) *.
Michael Richardson has indicated that Tcpdump 3.9.5 should be out early next
week (Sept 18).
I realize that this request is coming in a bit late, but I only discovered
the problem a couple of weeks back.
Can FC6 pick up tcpdump 3.9.5?
Thanks,
Bruce

FC6t2 Anaconda/installer bug with dd: loads wrong module
by Pasi Kärkkäinen
Hi!
I'm using IBM Blade servers with Qlogic qla4xxx iSCSI HBA adapters.
Fedora Core kernels don't include the qla4xxx driver for these HBAs.
I've made my own custom driver disk (dd) images for FC6 test2 [1], but can't get
these images to work. Same kind of custom made dd images work well in RHEL4.. so
something has changed with the driver disk support, I just can't figure out what.
The problem seems to be that fedora installer (anaconda) loads wrong
module.. for some unknown reason it loads tg3 module instead of qla4xxx. See
screenshots [2].
If I load the cd/floppy dd-images over http, then the installer won't load
anything.. and just gives error: "no devices of the appropriate type were
found on this driver disk". In this case the tg3 is already loaded..
My driver disk (dd) images [1] look like 100% OK to me.. PCI IDs are double
checked. In fact all the files containing PCI IDs are the same as in RHEL4
dd images (which work OK). I've also checked the "official" qla4xxx dd
images for RHEL4 by Qlogic. My images look like the same (except that the
modules are compiled for FC kernels - of course).
Ravi Anand from Qlogic also checked out my dd image, and said it looks
correct.
I had the same issue with FC5 also..
So, what has changed after RHEL4 in the driver disk handling?
I think it Would be quite important to get this working for final FC6.. and RHEL5.
Thanks!

No sound with FC6T3
by Louis Garcia
Just installed test3 and noticed I have no sound. Sound was working
since test2. Soundcard detection correctly finds my card as creative
labs SB Live! EMU10k1 but does not show any pcm devices. Also totem does
not open, says could not open resource for writing.
I will file a bug in the morning.

Apache Fedora branding
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
We frequently get mails (atleast once every month) at info AT
fedoraproject.org from random administrators about how Fedora has
hijacked their system or some such stuff because there is some limited
amount of Fedora branding on the default webpage in Apache.
We now have a document at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ServerTestPage
to explain to them what this means. I am wondering if we can just drop
the branding and save the trouble of redirecting all those rude mails.
