Yum upgrade from FC2 to FC3 possible?
by Tony Jones
Is it possible to upgrade (using yum or anything else) from FC2 (development)
to FC3 (development)? Or do I need to start with the FC3 iso's.
I installed the FC2T1 iso's (2/19/04) and ran yum a couple of times against
the 1.90 development branch. This is where my machine is now. Then I
context switched away.
Trying to use the yum.conf that had worked before now causes yum to crash
(of course I have no idea if it would do what i want [->FC3] anyway):
# yum -c yum.conf update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1.90 - Development Tree

tc3t2 up2date/gpg problem
by Dwaine Castle
I Installed FC3 test 1 yesterday. The first time that up2date ran I
encountered the libgtkhtml-3.1.so.10 dependency problem and tried to work
around it by updating a few files at a time. My problem is that, with each
iteration of up2date, most files fail the gpg key test and I was forced to
click a "yes" box to download the file. I've imported the same 6 keys from
the various mirror sites that up2date chose most frequently but the problem
persists.
RPM reports 44 keys loaded. I think that I had about 6 for FC2.
I guess that I've done something wrong, but I don't know what or how to fix
it.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks.

release 3 test 1
by Harry Putnam
Not that easy, watching the traffic here to determine what exactly
core 3 t 1 consists of.
I see FC3t1 mentioned frequently but it is sometimes used
interchangebly with FC2.
For a clean new install to FC3t1, what is the proper sequence of
events and exactly which ISOs are the base to start from?
I've downloaded core 2 thinking that must be where one gets to FC3
from, but now not sure.
I'm having too much trouble trying to ease into FC3 by cleaning up my
current mess. Now aiming for a spanking clean install of whatever it
is that gets me to FC3. What is it?

FC3 + SATA RAID
by Markus Nicolussi
Hello everybody!
I'm waiting for a Fedora Release which supports my SATA RAID set. I'm
wondering if FC3 is what i'm waiting for...
I have the ASUS A7N8Deluxe with the Silicon Image Sil 3112A-Controller with
and RAID 0/1-support in the _BIOS_. That means: I have a config tool in the
BIOS and there i can merge my 2 SATA Disks to one big (striped RAID 0).
After doing
this, for the OS it looks as if i have one big, fast disk. With the drivers
SiI supprots for WinXP and RH9 (
http://12.24.47.40/display/2n/kb/article.asp?aid=10767
) u can use this one big, fast virtual disk.
You may ask why i don't want to use SW RAID. I have installed windowsXP (4
gaming) and want to use the free space after the XP partition 4 Linux.
Therefore i have to use a Linux which can see the big virtual disk the BIOS
displays, like with the driver from SiI. At the moment this is RH9, but RH9
is old... i want to use Fedora.
Now i googled for hours and cant find a webpage which informs me of the
current state of the linux kernel driver, the fedora installer anaconda and
the general support in fedora.
==> Does such a webpage exist?
==> has anaconda integrated dmraid support in FC3-Test1?
==> Where can i keep myselfe informed?
sincerely,
nico

X - locked on dots, no keyboard - advice on diagnosis
by Jim Cornette
On the dell computer that I got the video to work by advice by people on
the list. I had X displaying a black screen w/ white dots scattered
sparsely. I also could not switch to any screen terminal and the
keyboard lights were out.
I was running the ftp client to transfer files from a windows computer
to the FC3T1 fresh install. This service was still transferring files
and also the web server was still working.
I eventually had the file transfer complete,then pressed ctl-alt-del and
the computer eventually rebooted. I did not see any difference on the
screen until I saw the grub menu. Then the computer booted up into
windows. This indicates that the system should have entered runlevel 6
after the ctl-alt-del.
A basic summary regarding the conditions the system was booted in follow:
- Running the latest 494smp kernel
- On bootup, a message regarding AGP and S3 conflicting disabling S3
- Some odd boot messages passing quickly by, no apparent errors displayed.
- Screen savers set to cycle every minute randomly. Was logged into X as
a regular user.
Checked computer periodically and all seemed alright. After about 1.5
hrs, noticed screen displaying the speckled white dots and smears.
Noted ftp transfer still proceeding. Also checked apache was functioning.
processor is a P4 w/ hyperthreading, 512 MB memory.
My questions are regarding what logs to provide?
What config files to provide?
What runlevel to boot into. (I use level 3 mostly, would level 1 be better?)
Any other additions of useful testing practices appreciated. I don't
want to wipe any info out that might aid in bug resolution.
Thanks!
