In preparation to test1, I've just given today's rawhide a

are some problems I've run into:
Due to the freeze and the way that works, rawhide doesn't have anaconda
with a number of fixes that I did yesterday. *sigh*
rescuecd boot screen still says Fedora Core 1
Yeah, anaconda-images needs an update, it's on my whiteboard already :-)
vg* tools in rescuecd are now useless, should ideally be mapped to
lvm
(2) cmds
More realistically, I should just drop them and save the disk space (aka
memory overhead)
pump fails to obtain dhcp configuration for rescue or install.
offering network info by hand enables it to mount the install image
over NFS. network card is rtl8139. dhcpd on the server says:
5 bad udp checksums in 5 packets
fallback_discard: Resource temporarily unavailable
See bug 114092, sounding more and more and more like a kernel bug :)
booting with `linux ks', it attempts to determine network info
twice:
before asking any questions, and after asking for install location
this probably only happens when the initial DHCP query fails
Correct
lots of `numerical sysctl 1 {23,49} is obsolete' in vt4
Most of this is kudzu still using the numeric sysctl stuff.
while installing in text mode (and also in rescue mode), when it
looks
for existing installations, it prints `/dev/hdc: open failed:
Read-only file system' and garbles the screen a little bit. In disk
druid, it prints it several times. /dev/hdc is the CD drive. This
messages seems to come from lvm, that prints this error whenever it
scans for physical volumes. The presence of LVM1 physical volumes
might be a trigger.
Yeah, the lvm2 tools aren't very smart :(
Genius EasyMouse+ PS/2 mis-detected as Whell Mouse in anaconda
start-up
It is a wheel mouse, though isn't it? You probably can't tell anything
else. The PS/2 protocol is pretty primitive.
system-config-users won't create new users. clicking on ok
produces:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-users/userWindow.py", line 227, in
on_userWin_ok_button_clicked
if self.homeDirCheck.get_active() == gtk.TRUE:
TypeError: argument 2 must be list, not str
Should probably be filed.
Account created with useradd (during kickstart %post) can't log
in.
gui and ssh logins exit immediately, and so does VT login without
security context. with security context, it asks for role and type,
and nothing seems to work. selinux doesn't seem to work, at all. cat
/selinux/context fails with invalid argument, and getconlist fails to
write to it similarly. I couldn't find other ways to create accounts
that would get a functional login.
Booting with selinux=0 will work around. Also, the pending anaconda
should make things better. Which reminds me that I should dig up a cd-r
so that I can boot my test machine at home and try it out.
vi won't run on a full install, it can't find libperl.so. It
looks in
5.8.2 internal perl lib dir, but only 5.8.{0,1,3} are available.
Karsten is aware of the problem already.
Just needs a rebuild for the new perl.
