re kernel-2.6.0-test: what to do with /etc/modprobe.conf??
by Robert P. J. Day
based on my reading, the new kernel prefers to read from the
file /etc/modprobe.conf, rather than the older /etc/modules.conf.
to help in the migration, there is the utility
"generate-modprobe.conf", but in this situation, it doesn't work --
it fails complaining of a missing "modprobe.old".
i'm suspecting that generate-modprobe.conf was written with the
assumption that one would have upgraded separately to the newer
version of modutils, which was backwards compatible and, IIRC,
moved the older versions of the module commands to their
corresponding ".old" names.
this is, i'm guessing, what generate-modprobe.conf is looking
for, but severn, since it comes with the newer version of
modutils already, has no such ".old" backups. hence the failure.
thoughts?

Can we have g++/libstdc 32 packages
by Mike Martin
Severn ships gcc32 packages but no matching g++ packages.
This causes problems with packages that dont compile with 3.3 (eg:
gst-plugins), and deps if they also use c++ code, because they have a
mismatch with libstdc
Will bugzilla when bugzilla is working

Well, if you really hate them, add 'console=/dev/null' to kernel command
line.

Evolution and openldap
by Thomas J. Baker
Anyone have evolution connecting to a severn included openldap 2.1.22
server over either tls or plain ldaps? I keep getting
TLS trace: SSL3 alert read:fatal:unknown CA
TLS trace: SSL_accept:failed in SSLv3 read client certificate A
TLS: can't accept.
TLS: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca
s3_pkt.c:1052
connection_read(7): TLS accept error error=-1 id=0, closing
errors. When I connect using openssl s_client -state -debug -connect
localhost:ldaps, it connects fine. I have the minimum three tls lines
defined:
TLSCACertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
TLSCertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd.pem
TLSCertificateKeyFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd.pem
and the permissions are all correct.
Thanks,
tjb

vmware tools install
by Todd Booher
Has anyone been able to install the vmware tools on a severn guest VM? It appears
some of the paths have changed (like the folder containing the init scripts) and the install
prompts for these paths.
Thanks,

next up: trying to build/boot a 2.6.0-test[x] kernel
by Robert P. J. Day
based (loosely) on my 2.4 kernel config file, i've built both
a 2.6.0-test1 and 2.6.0-test2 kernel, and tried to boot both of
them.
they both freeze right around the "Freeing unused kernel memory"
message, sometimes just two or three lines before that, but always
pretty much in the same place.
i'm pretty sure this isn't the ubiquitous missing-VT-config
problem since that normally stops printing output long before
then, and i've verified that i have the vt options configured
in.
i'm just digging into that, but if anyone has hints, that
would be nice. (obviously, i built those kernels with gcc 3.3).
slowly, but surely.

Not necessarily. I haven't tried test2 yet, but with test1 I got both OSS
and ALSA working.
Also try running mixer and see if sound is muted, I think it fails to
save/restore volume settings with 2.6 kernels.

RE: 2.6.0- test2, getting sound to work?
by Glen Maeding
You might want open up one console ( Xterm, or konsole, your choice ) then
go 'su' and type in 'tail -f /var/log/messages'.
After you do that, try to redetect sound via 'Redhat Main Menu > System
Setting > Soundcard Detection'.
Now watch what the messages say and report back. Smile. This used to be a
problem in RH 9.0 until they released kernel 2.4.20-18.9. Heh, ironically,
I was able to get around that by using the old RH8 kernel RPM and booting to
that to get any sound at all. But I believe for the purpose of this beta
testing, we want to use newer kernels?
