rawhide boot.iso won't boot
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
The 2004-11-24 boot.iso won't boot for me. It reports something like
***glibc detected**** next wrong size......
and halts the boot process.
Is it just my machine?

No sound on laptop, continued
by Darek Borkowski
I got it almost working. I've installed alsa-driver rpm form
atrpms.net and then started alsaconfig, which found my card in
database, added some lines to /etc/modprobe.conf and started alsa
(/etc/init.d/alsasound start). Then I had to pull up sliders in
alsamixer and I have sound, but I have to do this every time I boot my
laptop. I added /etc/init.d/alsasound et the end of rclocal script,
but this deas not work without running alsaconfig. There are two things:
1.alsamixer and gnome-mixer do not save volume levels (I always get
muted PCM and phones sliders (both volume 0% and mute checkbox)).
2.Before starting alsaconf when I want to play some music with e.g.
aplay I got error:
codec read 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2c

Specifically, click on Tools | Options, then, General and Fonts & Colors.
If you have "Always use my Colors" checked, try unchecking it. I was able
to duplicate the behavior described simply by checking that box.

Upgrade fc2 ==> fc3 solving wlan problem
by Truls Gulbrandsen
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I am planning an upgrade from fc2 to fc3 using the cds. I am connecting
to the internet using a cisco wlan pcmci card. FC2 configures this in
av very strange way as setting it is up as an ethernet card and not a
wireless. In addition it creates 2 wireless devices nick named eth0:1
and eth0:3 - these are not checked but still activated. As a consequence
~ I have a problem in configuring the wlan correctly and are unable to
set the encryption key.
I would like remove all traces of this card from my fc2 prior to the
upgrade and do new hw install of the card incl a fresh configuration.
What is the best/safest way to remove all signes of this card from fc2?
Is it sufficient to delete all devices from the network configuration or
should I edit some config files. If the latter, which files?
thanks in advance,
Truls Gulbrandsen

Firefox-1.0-2.fc3 in FC3
by Joachim Backes
Hi,
having the problem that firefox-1.0-2.fc3 displays pulldown menus
in websites like www.macrovision.com in a transparent manner so
that they are partially unreadable.
Can somebody tell how to switch off this behaviour?

That last set of updates has upset my box!
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
In a nutshell, here's what has happened tonight.
Everything was normal, I did an update, updated from svn mono and the
other bits from there and was doing my email.
I noticed that gtkhtml-sharp wasn't compiling. The script in gtk-sharp
is supposed to pick up libgtkhtml3, see if it's new enough and if it is,
will create gtkhtml-sharp (it's just a wrapper). Now, I know that
libgtkhtml is on this machine (otherwise the likes of Evolution wouldn't
work).
Open a terminal, /sbin/ldconfig
lots of errors about files not being symlinks. Oh dear.
Then odd things start happening. All email gets sent to the junk folder
in Evolution, terminal windows fail to open, desktop icons stop working,
panel applets fail to operate....
I swapped to tty1 and typed rpm -q gtkhtml-devel
Machine replies that /usr/lib/libpopt cannot be found. Sure enough, it
had vanished - along with quite a few other libraries.
Okay, reboot, see what happens.
Lots of errors about libpopt not being there. Damn. I can log in to a
tty, but no network. I burn my /usr/lib directory to CD from the laptop
(also on rawhide) and copy it to this machine. That's better. I don't
get the libpopt error now. Reboot. No network, no desktop (Id 'x'
respawned too quickly).
Reboot, switch off selinux incase that was the problem. This time, I get
eth0 up, but no desktop. Not a problem, downgrade to a previous version
of xorg-x11, reboot with selinux. No eth0, but with desktop. Try the
last selinux, reboot - same as before, no eth0 when it's enabled.
I'm now running on a machine without selinux and an older xorg-x11.
Anyone else seeing this?
TTFN

Would like to add module parameters
by Bob Gill
Hi. I am using FC3. The firewire in FC3 mounts my firewire drives fine
at boot, but I am having problems with the sbp2 (serial bus protocol 2)
kernel module --it gives me "ieee1394: sbp2: aborting sbp2 command"
about 40 times per hour (and times out for 30 seconds each time). An
official solution is to add the parameter 'serialize_io' when I load the
sbp2 module (with modprobe). This was nice and easy before the days of
hotplug, as I could just add serialize_io to /etc/modules.conf. Things
are not so easy in the land of hotplug. Where
in /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions can I add the parameter serialize_io
(or can I)? There doesn't seem to be anywhere to add module parameters
(without re-writing the script).
Thanks in advance,
Bob

this one is attached on /dev/hdd and it works Ok.
But second drive is scsi, and is also found by my kernel:

Should I insert some module to get it working, I also notice that there
is no device for scsi cdrw?!?
Any suggestions?
