Rawhide: kernel panic 2.6.19-1.2912.fc7 in VMware
by Vnpenguin
Hi,
I use VMplayer to run FC6 guest OS on Windows XP. Yesterday, I
upgraded FC6 to FC7 (rawhide). Upgrading process is ok , but now I
can't boot with kernel 2.6.19-1.2912.fc7:
...
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: sda1 sda2
sd 0:0:0:0 Attached scsi disk sda
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda2)
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I can boot without any problem with FC6 latest updated kernel.
Anyone has ideas to fix it ?
Thank you,

I added both update requests to the FC7Target tracker (bz# 150225).
Right now it seems that there are only two main trackers: blocker and
target. Would it be a good idea to start a third tracker for upgrade
requests? The bugs I filed that I have in mind for this tracker are
generally easy to close, and in one case (f-spot) there are even
updated specs on the Bugzilla ticket.
If someone thinks this is a good idea I can create the tracker and
perhaps make it block FC7Target.
Thanks,

Long term PIM solution
by Anuj Verma (Kevin)
Hello list,
In this email subject mentions "PIM". I consider following types of
application to make a true Personal Information Manager:
1. Email,
2. Address books,
3. Calendring,
4. Task Manager,
5. NNTP client
6. Phone/PDA sync apps
My focus is GNOME, as KDE is very sound for the same by now.
We had seen Mozilla/Firefox engines became a very useful base to various
independent web-browser applications.
I will like to know some point of views here, to know if Thunderbird can
also be useful in the same way as Mozilla/Firefox, for a good long term
PIM solution ?
What is Fedora project vision to deliver a stable well integrated PIM
solution targeted to GNOME environment ?
Cheers,
Kevin

dkms for fc7?
by Neal Becker
I know there was some discussion about dkms for fedora. It seemed (to me)
mostly positive. Is there interest in pushing this forward for fc7?

Many thanks, Dmitry. I see you are well familiar with this issue.
When I try "alsactl power", I get "alsactl: Unknown command 'power'..." so I
don't think that will work for me.
I'd also like this to work for anyone who wants to install Fedora on their
600X. It was a very popular machine in its day, so there are a lot of them
out there.
How can I help make this easier for those folks? (and of course, I will
probably install Fedora on them myself quite a few more times)
And once again, is there a bug in the sound driver that needs to be crushed?

experimental boost-1.34.0-0.5 rpms
by Benjamin De Kosnik
I've uploaded a src.rpm for boost-1.34.0, yet unreleased, to my people
page.
http://people.redhat.com/bkoz/boost-1.34.0/
I'm hoping to get some feedback on this rpm, and boost packaging
changes, before checking this in to rawhide. In addition, I'm curious to
see if there is anybody who would like to help maintain this package. Neal?
Changes:
1) switch to boost build v2, attempt to remove as many build patches as
possible.
2) building/distributing the -mt variants, and the resulting library
name changes for libboost_thread to libboost_thread-mt.
Unresolved:
1) More regression failures than acceptable, IMHO. Waiting for the final
release seems like a good idea, but since that might be a while still, I
thought I'd get a head start on the packaging issues.
2) boost book currently not building
3) version of SONAME, if any
best,

Fedora 7 encrypted root partition
by Richard Hughes
Talking to a co-worker today, he mentioned that if Fedora could support
[1] an encrypted root filesystem he would switch to Fedora in a
heartbeat. We appear to be 99% of the way there with LUKS, and I'm
pretty sure you can hack encrypted root filesystem into FC6, but it
would be great to have a:
Encrypt partition to protect data [X]
in anaconda. Even protecting just the "home" partition would be great,
although everything would be perfect.
What do you think?
Richard.
[1] and I mean support, rather than able to hack at a random file and do
lots of stuff on the console.
