800mhz G3 ibook using UDMA33 hdd speeds?
by Jesse Keating 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Kernel is picking up my IDE interface at UDMA33 and forcing my hdd into udma2 mode according to hdparm. Is this the right speed? Seems really slow, shouldn't it at least be UDMA66 ? -- Jesse Keating RHCE (http://geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (http://www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (http://geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?

Fedora Core 4 on iMac G5
by Dominik Epple 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hi, since I found some questions about this with google, but no answers, this might be valuable to someone... This is about running Fedora Core 4 on the current Apple iMac G5. There are reports of gdm freezing the machine. I experienced this also, and furthermore random crashes while using the console only. It turned out this was because of the bell of the shell... every attempt to play sound made the machine crash. Disabling sound completely by not loading the sound driver modules solves this. On fedora you can do so by adding them to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Have fun, Dominik. --

gpgcheck=0 for development?
by Mike Hammill 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

A noob question. When I started to update from the development tree, I found I had to set gpgcheck=0 in yum.conf. According to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=51610 "Yes, all non-development tree packages coming out of Redhat should be signed, that goes for FC4 final." Does this imply that all development tree packages are NOT signed, and thus that gpgcheck=0 is necessary? Feels a tad scary. Can one check signatures using a different system like APT instead of Yum, for example? /Mike

RE: More Partition woes

I know in my case the trick was the partd mklabel command; once I did "partd /dev/hda mklabel" and then specify "mac" I was able to let FC4 do the default partitioning and it worked. http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/fedora-ppc/2005-July/000586.html Hugh Caley | Unix Systems Administrator | CIS AFFYMETRIX INC. | 6550 Vallejo St. Ste 100 | Emeryville, CA 94608 Tel: 510-428-8537 | Hugh_Caley(a)affymetrix.com -----Original Message----- From: fedora-ppc-bounces(a)lists.infradead.org on behalf of listman Sent: Thu 7/21/2005 11:00 PM To: fedora-ppc(a)lists.infradead.org Subject: More Partition woes Stats Mac mini 1.42 w/ 512MB ram Fedora Core 4 PPC installing with linux video=ofonly resolution=1024x768 The following error was from my last install using the whole drive.

Mac mini
by Kevin dePfyffer 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

I have yet to get FC4 installed and running on my mac mini. I have to type linux video=ofonly resolutionx1024x768 to get anything to work. I finally got to the end of the install and to the reboot screen (got kicked into text mode install that time) but when the system rebooted - nothing. Is there anything else I can try that is not mentioned in the how-to. I'm about to take this thing back. I have tried to install it with OSX and without - same results. Thanks for any pointers/input you can give me. BTW the mini seem to just turn off once in a while, I may see about getting it replaced, but it doesn't do that when running OSX. thanks again
