FC2 Test 1 First Boot Display setting
by Gerry Tool
On first boot, a Display dialog is presented that allows setting of the
display resolution. Original value was 1024 x 768. Changed to 1280 x 1024.
This did not "take". After login had to run System Settings > Display and
log in/out to change as desired.

Promise 20378 SATA controller and FC2 Test1 first impressions ...
by Adam Pearse
Well, the good news is that FC2 Test1 does recognize the controller. The
down side is it does not support the BIOS created RAID sets defined within
Promise's BIOS. I ended up disabling the controller to operate in RAID and
have it treat it as IDE (which basically it was anyways). I then setup my
two drives using software RAID. Question for anyone who can answer (have has
an opinion), will FC2 eventually support the BIOS created RAID images or are
we stuck using software RAID and dumb down the controller to basically act
as an IDE interface. BTW guys, thanks for your work on getting this out and
into our hands.

Yes, that is my understanding but I was under the impression that the
promise_sata module would pull the RAID config from the BIOS. I am not
choosey, if I needed "real" HW RAID, I would of course go with 3ware (love
the SATA stuff). Any chance you have a link or two showing me some
performance/benchmarks pitting the pseudo-hardware/software controller like
Promise (or Intels ICH5R) against the md stuff?

Doesn't this controller rely on the driver for RAID work anyway? I seem to
remember benchmarks showing md outperforming this chipset in "HW" RAID mode.

FC2 Test 1 Updates on first boot
by Gerry Tool
With a clean install, on first boot, there are a number of updates listed when
clicking on the rhn applet. Up2date gets hung on resolving
dependencies. This could be because the default server for up2date is dulug
which is probably swamped now.
Is there an alternate rawhide repository with these updates that might have
some bandwidth?
Thanks.

RE: hw recommendations?
by Whitley CTR Cecil H
Does the via vt8237 s-ata function have built-in support in the fc1 amd64
test 1 release? If not, what's the best way of getting there from here when
the only hd in a system is s-ata?

FC2 test 1: Problem with DAC960
by Arto Saraniva
There is still problems with loading Mylex DAC960 driver in install process.
We have a SMP box with N440BX board and Symbian double UW SCSI on board with
no disks. Install process loads symbian driver and DAC960, but freezes when
it tries to insert the DAC module to /tmp.
Fedora Core 1 had the same problem.

FC2 test1 bittorrent problem
by Markku Kolkka
I'm trying to get FC2-test1 by bittorrent, but I'm getting an
error message:
"Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 400: Not Authorized"
The announcement for FC2 test1 was posted over an hour ago, and
the torrent.dulug.edu page shows the torrent as available.
What's the problem? Is bittorrent working for anyone else?
