I do have a SB Live 5.1 as well, could this be inferring? but on
anything that makes sound it wont come out of the nvidia.
I have just tested the output of my SBLive card and it works, I ran the
soundcard configuration to test, but when i try and test the nvidia it
plays out of the SB?

It should have selected the i810 audio drivers. What is in lsmod and
what happens if you run a mixer app ?

Anaconda - SATA_SiL Support
by Si Jones
If kernel 2.6.5 in t3 has Silicon Support but Anaconda has not been told
about it, then surely after booting off the cd go to a shell and alter a
file to get it to find my drive / controller?
Can anyone tell what file(s) may need to be alter so I can install T3...
am really wanting to try it but am unable to!!!

Cannot rip with *actual* SCSI CD-ROM drives
by Shahms King
I'm inclined to think that the tmscsim module works as well as at least
one other module included in the Fedora kernel. I swapped out my Tekram
adapter for an Adaptec AHA-7850 and am seeing exactly the same problems
ripping CDs. To summarize:
1) The CD ROM drive shows up in everything (except /proc/scsi/scsi) as
"Unknown CD Drive"
2) Ripping from it in any program other than cdrdao doesn't work.
Even with the sg module loaded, the drives aren't seen by it. It must be
possible to rip from these drives, but I certainly can't figure out how
w/o sg. Are more/different patches for cdparanoia needed to handle
this? It sucks because the only reason I have the SCSI card at all is
for my Plextor CD-ROM drive which *still* rips 10 times faster than even
the fastest IDE CD drive I've found (and it's almost 8 years old). It's
a lot better with the 2.6 kernel than it was with 2.4, but is still
significantly slower than the SCSI drive.
Using strace on cdparanoia and cdda2wav, it appears as though they both
fail when attempting to open the "sg" device O_RDWR|O_EXCL whereas
cdrdao only ever opens it O_READ|O_EXCL. Don't know if that helps at
all, but there it is.

saw this review posted on slashdot of FC2
by King, John (Greg) (LMIT-HOU)
Slashdot has a news item about an FC2 review (www.slashdot.org) posted on
http://www.linuxlookup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&re
q=showcontent&id=59
That site is slashdotted though so good luck getting the review from there.
Fortunately someone decided to karma whore and posted the review on slashdot
at
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=108286&cid=9206137
My take on the review is that the author brings up some valid points IF he
was reviewing it under the proper context. IMO and based on what I have read
here, FC2 is for hobbyists, it is not supposed to be a Mandrake or Suse.
Therefore I feel the review is flawed based on expectations that should not
have been there.
What I do agree with is the inconsistency and the up2date issue that were
mentioned:
"The odd thing about Fedora is that it seems to be aimed at novice users but
is inconsistent. We are given the choices Web Browser, Email, Music Player
and Audio Player, but left with Kopete, Kget, Emacs and so forth. Either
your user knows what Kopete is or they don't. If you are simplifying the
menu, do it across the board or don't do it at all. This inconsistency
extends to the system itself. It is pretty and newbie friendly at first, but
if you need basic functionality such as mp3 playback you must hand edit the
yum configuration file. Up2date freezes, but the command line program yum
works well." - author quote
Anyhow, just an fyi so far I have had a pretty good run with FC2 although
the up2date bug and dual boot bug are annoying.

x86_64 fc2 release : Adaptec AIC79XX : DV failed to configure device

Hi all,
Getting a domain validator error from new RAID and card combo, looking
for advise as how to debug it further. Here's whats logged (seems a bit
vague unfortunately):

scsi4:A:0:0: DV failed to configure device. Please file a bug report
against this driver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I installed FC2 on a Dell Poweredge 1650 with a second SCSI Card. This
is a Adaptec 29160. There is one external hardware-raid-box attached to it.
While booting, I get an error:
scsi0:A:1:0: DV failed to configure device. Please file a bug report
The dmesg output is:

This error didn't appear in FC2-test 3, so what could be broken??
Any ideas?

RE: saw this review posted on slashdot of FC2
by Greg Lehmann
Take offence if you like but there is no current development release,
and given the problems I have seen people having lately, FC2 probably
should have been FC2T4. And that is why problems are being posted here!

FC2 install failure with selinux turned on....
by Tom London
I did a fresh SELinux (and 'everything') installation of FC2 (wiping
clean
a previously working copy of FC2T3). That is, I entered 'selinux' at
the installation/boot prompt.
I repartitioned and formatted the drive into /boot, /, /home (all
ext3)
and swap partitons.
I selected 'install everything', and the install and 'firstboot'
appears
to have worked properly. I specified a new user (tbl), NTP etc. when
propted.
When the system 'came up' and I logged in as my 'normal' user, I got
the following error popup:
Your home directory is listed as:
'/home/tbl'
but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the
/ (root) directory as your home directory?
It is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe
session.
So, something didn't setup quite right. (I'll boot single user and
see
if the directory got created and labeled incorrectly)
It then return to the login screen, where I tried to login as root.
This
time I got the following:
The Applet "gnome-settings-daemon" has quit
unexpectedly. You can
inform .....".
Clicking the 'inform developers' button has not no apparent effect.
Anyone see this/have hints?

F2CT3 configuration problem with Toshiba 490XCDT
by Domenico Celi
Hello,
My son and I have just finished installing the Fedora F2CT3 core on a
Toshiba 490XCDT laptop. Two problems were encountered :
- The internal ESS (ES1868) sound card wasn't recognized, and;
- The internal K56flex modem wasn't recognized.
Furthermore, we succeeded once to change the screen resolution from
640x480 to 1024x768 but it reverts back to 640x480 everytime we reboot
or change user. Sometimes the whole screen freezes over and we can't do
anything
BTW : This is not a dual boot machine. It would be a dedicated Linux box.
Being new to Linux / Fedora, how can we correct this? We have been
browsing around but couldn't find any clues.
HELlllllllllp
