yum dead?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I can't seem to connect to any of the yum servers for 1.91. Are they
down atm? My yum file is attached.

RE: Problems with serial ata
by Rio Baan
I have an ASUS P4G8X-Deluxe motherboard (the Pentium model), and I have
similar Silicon Image SATA RAID problems. I think this issue is listed in
Bugzilla.
The BIOS version I have is 1006, and I think it's the latest (have to double
check that).
Once HDs get connected to the SATA RAID plugs, on first boot, the install
doesn't get past the grey Fedora PC screen... it just locks up.
Not sure if the bug has been fixed in the latest kernel versions.... but
we'll see when test2 comes out I guess.

smbfs won't mount
by G. Vamsee Krishna
Hi,
I've just finished installing Fedora Core 2 - Test 1 on my system.
The kernel 2.6.1-1.65, is small, fast and sweet. KDE 3.2 rocks. But the
problem is, I'm unable to mount smb filesystems from the network. I'm not
an expert at kernel hacking/debugging. The error message is something like
this:
# smbmount //IP/share /mnt/junk -o username=<some name>,password=<password>
ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255
# modprobe smbfs
FATAL: Module smbfs not found.
I've had no such problems with Fedora Core 1. Now, how can patch things up
so that I can mount shares?
regards,
vamsee

Soundcard driver snd-es1371 won't load
by Timothy
When I run the soundcard detector my card gets recognized properly, but
the driver fails to load.
Vendor: Ensoniq
Model: ES1371 [AudioPCI-97]
Module: snd-es1371
I get a message "The snd-es1371 driver could not be loaded. This
soundcard may not be compatible with Red Hat Linux".
FC1 worked.

dealing with alsa
by Ruth Shewmon
This is probobly the wrong mailing list to ask this
on, but here goes. I have an asus a7n8x motherboard
with an integrated sound card. When I run the
soundcard detection program, it says: "The
snd-intel8x0 driver could not be loaded. This
soundcard may not be compatible with Red Hat Linux."
This is strange because this same computer worked fine
with kernel 2.6 and alsa on Fedora core 1. Even more
strange, lsmod shows that the snd-intel8x0 module is
loaded. However, when I try to load the soundcore
module, I am informed that there is no such module.
So here's my question: what has changed? Is there a
file in a different place? Is soundcore compiled
right into the kernel instead of as a module? My plan
of action now is to un-install the alsa-lib rpm and
just compile alsa and a new kernel myself, but before
I do, am I overlooking something really obvious?

Severe glibc upgrade problem
by Ville Herva
This is a longish story, and I'm not sure where I should report this bug...
Anyway, I was upgrading my Fedora Core Development installation with yum
command
yum --exclude=xorg\* --exclude=anaconda --exclude=gdm --exclude=kdebase --exclude=kde\* --exclude=chkfontpath --exclude=XFree86\* --exclude=epiphany --exclude=gkrellm --exclude=rpmdb-fedora update
in preparation to move from XFree86 to x-org. At the time, I only had Fedora
Devel base path in my yum.conf. yum downloaded the rpms slowly, but hell
broke loose when rpm begun installing the first packages. Basically,
glibc-common and glibc didn't install properly:
glibc-common 100 % done 4/208
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/locale/zh_CN/LC_PAPER: cpio link exists
warning: /etc/ld.so.conf created as /etc/ld.so.conf.rpmnew
glibc 100 % done 5/208
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/ld-2.3.3.so: cpio: open
and after that, most of the rpm installs were fubar, because rpm could not
execute anything due to missing ls-linux.so.2:
pango 100 % done 7/208
error: %post(pango-1.4.0-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
I had left yum running by itself (as the upgrade took about 5 hours), so it
kept on going these fubared installs for about 100 rpm's before it
mis-upgraded python and sigbus'ed:
zsh: bus error yum --exclude=xorg\* --exclude=anaconda --exclude=gdm --excl
I found out that /lib/ld-linux.so.2, /lib/ld-2.2.3.so and /lib/tls/libc.so.6
were missing. Through various LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_PRELOAD,
"/backup/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /bin/cp ..." and ash.static hacks I was able to
restore so much glibc libraries that I could try to reinstall the rpm's.
I verified the glibc rpm signatures, and md5 sums were ok. Installing
glibc-utils-2.3.3-18, glibc-headers-2.3.3-18, glibc-2.3.3-18,
glibc-devel-2.3.3-18, glibc-common-2.3.3-18 didn't prove easy, though. I got
the same errors and lost the libraries again. The same story when trying to
the previous glibc-2.3.3-16.
This is using rpm-4.3-0.22 and rpm-4.3-0.20 (it was upgraded in the
process.) I reinstalled rpm-4.3-0.22 with rpm -Uvh --force before retrying.)
Basically it, appeared that rpm had become completely unable to handle cases
where it should replace a file with a link, replace a running
binary/library, or anything non-trivial. After I did rm -rf /usr/lib/locale
and some other offending files, I was able to install glibc*. However, the
same problems continued when I reinstalled the misinstalled rpm's:
python 100 % done 18/208
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/python: cpio: link
gcc-c++ 100 % done 82/208
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/c++: cpio: link
e2fsprogs-devel 100 % done 69/208
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/man/man3/uuid_generate.3.gz
emacs 100 % done 96/208
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/emacs: cpio: link
and reinstalling SysVinit complained that /sbin/init textfile was busy.
Well, duh!
(Sorry for the possibly inexact error messages, the rxvt where I
cut'n'pasted these from was a bit garbled.)
I opened up a bugzilla entry for rpm
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119122), but I'm not
sure if this is a bug in the rpm packages, rpm itself, yum, or perhaps in
cpio. I would suspect rpm. But is quite serious.
There is a more complete yum install log attached to the bugzilla entry.

Strange nfs problem after update
by Christian Schlaefcke
Hi Folks,
since I rebooted my machine after the latest updates I cannot mount the
nfs exports on that machine. When I try to mount I get an 'Permission
denied' error. The strange thing about this is that /var/log/messages
just says:
Mar 28 17:01:41 my_machine rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
my_client.de:978 for /usr/local/share (/usr/local/share)
This doesn´t look like an error? After some resaerch @ google I can say
that my /etc/exports, /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow seem to be OK:
/etc/exports:
/usr/local/share 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(sync,rw)
/etc/hosts.allow:
tcp-env: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0, 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0,
192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0: setenv = RELAYCLIENT
tcp-env: ALL
Are there any other logs available? What could cause this? I was also
researching for iptables issues. The problem occurs even with disabled
iptables (iptables -F).
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks & Regards,
Chris

FC2 test 1 / kernel 2.6.4-1.290 sound not working (snd-maestro3)
by Camilo Mesias
Hi,
I have some strange problems with sound which worked on FC1 and 2.4
kernel but hasn't been well under FC2 test 1 and 2.6 kernel.
The module does not load automatically and I have to issue
# modprobe snd-maestro3
manually before any sound is used.
Then the volume levels appear to be set to 0, the mixer can be used to
raise them but the values are not remembered after a reboot. The volume
control 2.5.7 panel applet tries to raise the volume but after any
changes the slider is set back to zero (even if the mixer has been
turned up.
What have I missed in upgrading from 2.4 to 2.6 to make the sound work
smoothly?
-Cam
PS I have /etc/modules.conf which does include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist,
then defines alias sound-slot-0 snd-maestro3.
There is also a line:
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && {
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null
2>&1 || :; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove sound-slot-0

alsa-lib-1.0.3a-1
