Hi, I know this is off the topic, but the ipchains-devel rpm seems to be missing the libiptc.h, libipq.h headers.. Manu

some questions regarding FC3t2 release notes
by Robert P. J. Day 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

(repost of what was sent to anaconda list since it mostly involved installation.) reading the FC3t2 release notes, some curiosities: 1) "The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken up by Fedora Core 2.91 Test 2 after the installation is complete. However, additional disk space is required during the installation to support the installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system." this suggests that the stage2.img file is copied to the hard drive during the installation, so that makes sense. but i don't understand why the stuff under /var/lib/rpm would be considered an "additional" space requirement above and beyond the regular install. it's all still there after the installation is complete. can someone clarify why the contents of /var/lib/rpm would be considered an "additional" space requirement? 2) i could have sworn that someone posted that SELinux was disabled by default during the install, but during my install, it was definitely activated, and i had to manually turn it off. 3) "Memory testing may be performed prior to installing Fedora Core by entering memtest86 at the boot: prompt. This causes the Memtest86 standalone memory testing software to run. Memtest86 memory testing continues until the Esc key is pressed." "NOTE: You must boot from CD-ROM 1 (or a rescue CD-ROM) in order to use this feature." um ... i'm pretty sure memtest is also part of boot.iso and diskboot.img, no? the way the above is worded is a bit misleading. 4) regarding space required for installation: "... Minimum for graphical: 192MB ..." "... However, due to the necessity of containing the installer image in RAM, only systems with more than 128MB of RAM (or systems booted from CD-ROM 1, which contains the installer image) can use the graphical installer." and the correct minimum value would be ... ? more later as i keep reading. rday

Upgrading From Intel x86 To Athlon 64
by Robert L Cochran 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

I'm almost ready to attempt booting my new Athlon 64 3500+ system. This is on an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard. I've been using Fedora Core 2 (x86 version) on my old Intel system and want to move it onto the new motherboard and upgrade to Fedora Core 2 (x86_64 version). Has anyone done this? Will it work? The motherboard has 4 SATA connectors, and I'm thinking of getting an PATA-to-SATA adapter and using the SATA1 connector for the Fedora Core drive. Will using SATA cause problems at installation time? Thanks Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA

SysVinit unpack error?
by Robert Wilkens 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Greetings, Last night I installed Fedora Core 3 Test 2 with a "minimal installation". This included no GUI or most of the standard tools. I updated the basic set of tools to get me a Gnome Desktop installed with up2date command-line. Anyway, Now that it's installed, many packages, such as evolution, want to install SysVinit.. Specifically, SysVinit-2.85.33.i386.rpm .. When I try to install that (ignoring GPG Keys, because NONE of them work for me), I get an unpack error, specifically, "There was a RPM unpack error installing the package: SysVinit-2.85.33". This prevents a number of libraries and applications from installing. Is this a known issue on this list? At Red-Hat? Thanks, Rob Wilkens

FC3test1: X / display hangs after overnight inactivity
by Banibrata Dutta 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Hi, Anybody has noticed the problem of Xserver (or display driver) hanging in FC3-test1 ? I've filed a bug in bugzilla # 132968 ( http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132968 ). pciscan reports the display adaptor as: pci bus 0x000 cardnum 0x02 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2572 Intel Corp. 82865G Integrated Graphics Device to summarize here's the problem: if i leave the Xserver running (WM being either GNOME / KDE based) overnight, 9/10 time i'd find that the display as hung, i.e. a thin raster band (in 16/256 colors) at the bottom of the screen. in this state CTRL-BACKSPACE, ALT-CTRL-Fn or even ALT-CTRL-DEL doesn't work, basically i cannot do anything using the console keyboard. if i telnet into this system from some other system, i am allowed in, after which if i try killing all X processes including gdm etc., the status doesn't change, i.e. the raster band stays and keyboard remains non-responsive. i've tried switching to runlevel 3, stopping X and going back to runlevel 5, without any good. only option left at this point is to reboot the system, or poweroff & poweron. thanks & regards, banibrata dutta.

ALSA drivers - Intel HD Audio
by Mister Ribbit 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

I have the new Intel HD Audio on board my Intel D915GEV motherboard, and I'm trying to get it working. I think I can do it if I compile the driver that Intel supplies on their web page, but they say that the driver has been handed off to the ALSA project, and I've found it in the alsa-driver 1.0.6 package (but not 1.0.5). I was wondering if FC3 would ship with an updated kernel to have the 1.0.6 driver (or the new 1.0.6a) so that it would be working straight out of the box in the future. Or, maybe you are on that set of drivers, and somehow have lost the azx driver for this hardware. Thanks! Ciao! Ryan

Problem with USB flashdisk (used to work) and kernel dump on reboot
by Erich Hoover 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

I'm getting some problems after all the recent development updates. 1) My usb flashdisk will no longer mount (it works in other computers and it used to work before the updates), it reports: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, or too many mounted file systems 2) When I try to reboot the kernel gets all the way shutdown until the very final reboot operation and then it dumps - is there a way I can get a log from this? It looks like all logging has been disabled by the time the kernel gets to this point (especially since it's already unmounted by hard drive). Running on an ASUS SK8N w/ an FX-53 under x86-64 mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
