Unable to boot my system totally - please help!
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Something has gone wrong which means I can't start my main linux box and it's
no fun!
When I did an update to the current testing kernel, I had the error that
/proc/partitions couldn't be opened and as such, a conversion couldn't be
done. grubby then gave a fatal error.
When I do a reboot, the bootloader fires up, but when I choose a kernel, all I
get it that the kernel can't be found (file not found)
I have /boot on /dev/hda2
Any ideas on getting this working?
TTFN

Re: Recent Updates and ldconfig
by Erich Hoover
That's what I've been doing for most thigns (actually chcon, the
restorecon looks like it's probably a better choice), but some
installation programs will fail if they cannot ldconfig the appropriate
files (i've run into wine and the nvidia driver so far). It seems like
the libraries are being created with the wrong contexts, I actually did
get my two examples to work by changing the context quickly using
another console but I don't want to have to dink with this every time I
install something new.

latest kernel (1014_FC4) woes: does not see USB
by Oldman
D/l kernel and rebooted. Noticed error: could not find /proc/bus/usb
in fstab or mtab (actually I find that this error was there before, but
did not affect the problem). Any way, once logged in, my USB disk-key
is not found, though I can mount it manually.
Will bugzilla, though it is down ATM.

how to set pkgconfig to /usr/lib64
by sean darcy
I've just installed fc3 x86_64. pkgconfig still uses /usr/lib/pkfconfig.
other than symbolic links or setting the env each time, is there a way to
tell it to check /usr/lib64?
I can't build any 64 apps on this machine.

Dunno. Installed Friday. Except that i couldn't install gnome - bad rpm for
gnome-volume-manager - all seemed to go correctly.

Concerning `fedora-release'
by Harry Putnam
How is the updating of fedora-release pkg supposed to work? I've run
an extensive and complete update off of rawhide, but my release
package is still fedora-release-2.90-3.
Running `yum --obsoletes update fedora-release' doesn't find a package
of that name of course.

Recent Updates and ldconfig
by Erich Hoover
Since the most recent round of updates i've been having trouble with
ldconfig, apparently it's requiring the security context to be set
exactly right on everything and the libraries aren't configured that way
by default. ldconfig (or selinux, whatever actually handles this) wants
the context set to "system_u:object_r:shlib_t" where most of the
libraries are set to "system_u:object_r:lib_t" or
"root_u:object_r:lib_t". For most things this isn't that big of a deal,
but some things (such as wine or the nvidia driver) will fail since they
create the libraries just before trying to ldconfig them. Any help with
this is greatly appreciated.

Tada.
Nothing. But since that did tell me what to google for, I found the yum
list. Inserted x86_64-redhat-linux.
But that's only half my Xmas wish. Now it's showing ONLY x86_64. From the
yum list messages I take it this is a function of exactarch and
transaction_color ( which I didn't see in macros ).
Thanks
