Same here, I had to add 'modprobe ide-cd' line to rc.modules file to make CD
work without manual interaction.

Segfault with grub
by Féliciano Matias
grub segfault with kernel severn and with the rescue mode.
# grub-install /dev/hda
/sbin/grub-install: line 452 : 393 Segmentation fault $grub_shell --batch --device-map=$device-map > $log_file << EOF
From the grub shell:
grub> setup (hd0)Segmentation fault.
From RH9 grub work :
# chroot /mnt/severn
# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
...
every thing is fine.
Should i file the bug in grub or kernel ?

Oracle 9.2 and RH9.0.93
by Igor Gorbounov
There was a workaround to handle the Oracle obsoleteness for install under
RH9.0:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5;./runInstaller
but it doesn't work any more in RH 9.093:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
/tmp/OraInstall2003-07-24_03-17-12PM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library:
/tmp/OraInstall2003-07-24_03-17-12PM/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol
__libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link
time reference
So anybody has perhaps found some way out of this situation?
Hopefully,
Igor Gorbounov

Citrix ?
by Mark Guzzo
Hi all,
I've been using Citrix ICA 7.0 for Linux on RH9. Now with this Beta,
nothing happens when I try and launch an ICA session. This same thing is
also happening to BitTorrent.
I'm not asking for Citrix help, just wondering if anybody else is seeing
this?
Mark.
PS. Now I have to use RDP to get ICA :-)
PPS. Love this Beta! It ROCKS so far!

xmms skipping
by Maynard Kuona
My xmms skips like its not even funny. I know this is a beta, but I
would have hoped it would be skipping less not more. It skip much more
than RH9 when i change tabs in Epiphany, switch to another program,
change desktops, even when scrolling on a web page.
Does anyone know anything I can do to stop it skipping.
BTW, I already tried increasing the buffer in esound, but this is not
helping. I am using DMA too, so that is not the issue.
Also, are there any plans to include the preemptive kernel patch. I wish
they could give us a number of kernels to choose from. I hat having my
audio skipping. It is the thing that annoys me the most about my RH
linux installs.

ok. and i guess adding LVM2 to the mix would be pushing my
luck? severn + 2.6.0-test1-bk2 + LVM2. can i make this
any more challenging? i'll give it a shot this afternoon.
if you don't hear back, clearly, my brain will have exploded.

Let me give you a quick example and see what you think. I installed Linux on a computer for my wife who uses
Windows 2000 and Mac OS X daily. Upon booting up it did the normal thing and all of the normal init script feedback
slid across the screen. She promptly came back to me and asked what all of that 'garbage' was for. She seemed to think
that Linux was some kind of half finished 'geek thing' that she did not want to use. So I have a couple of newbie uses
for the graphical boot. One is to shield users who do not need/want to know what is going on under the hood and thus
decreasing silly requests to the local help desk or from generating exscuses to not use this 'thing'. Second is to
give the user the impression of a polished, whole, functional operating system that the user would want to use. Both
of these examples give the operating system increased usability due to the fact that the user does not get hung up in
'what is all that stuff?' and just gets his/her work done. Just my two cents.

RE: vmware 4.0
by Harnish, Joseph
I have found that VMWare 4.0 has some networking issues. Using VMWare's NAT
network I have had to manually configure the network on each OS. I have
found that .2 is the gateway for the network. It also depends on what
VMWare setup as your VMNet IP addresses. VMWare tools installed just fine
on mine but once I did that VMWare crashes.

Subject: vmware 4.0
Hi,
I'm unable to make vmware work correctly on Severn.
I'm unable to setup vmware tools (Net, Graphics) which are really useful.
The mouse is slow (probably because vmware tools are not installed).
The default driver is pcnet32 (AMD 79c970, PCNET32 Lance), it loads OK, but
then the network script say the cable is not plugged... The host OS (linux
RH9) has network running just fine and the second vmware machine (Win2k) is
also running fine with network and vmware tools. Does anyone have ideas on
how to do it working? Thanks -jec
PS: why is the kernel compiled with gcc 3.2.3 and the installed compiler is
3.3?

questions
by Féliciano Matias
* Is there a way to create a screenshot with firstboot ?
* when booting with severn i got the following message (in french):
"Démontage de initrd: umount: initrd: périphérique occupé [ÉCHOUÉ]"
In English something like :
"umounting initrd: umount: initrd: device busy [FAILED]"
is this normal ?

some ideas
by Féliciano Matias
I try Severn. Good job.
* I think RedHat could add some information about RHL Project in the
screen of xdm. Perhaps something like :
- "RedHat Linux is a community project. Find out more in
http://rhl.redhat.com/ ."
* Gnome now allows to suppress item in the menu. But it's useless if you
are not root. We could trigger rpm to remove the package which is
associate with /usr/share/applications/something . This need some work
like prompting the root password, print a warning (removing this, remove
that), check if the package have several entry in
/usr/share/applications and more detailed if needed :
removing Openoffice, remove :
Application;Office;Set up printers for OpenOffice.org applications
Application;Office;Repair your installation of OpenOffice.org
Application;Office;Draw diagrams and figures
Application;Office;Formula editor
Application;Office;Create presentations
Application;Office;Spreadsheet
Application;Office;Word processor
In less words, i am asking to add "uninstall programme" in the
contextual menu.
* I will appreciate to have an option that remove the sub-menu "more
...". If users have an easy way to remove application they don't use, we
can think that the "more ..." menu is useless after the user has do some
"cleanup" in the menu.
NB : It only some ideas. I know that the right place to do proposition
is Gnome/Kde or Freedesktop. But i am not a hacker and my English is
insufficient.
