Subject: kernel 2.6.7-1.492 hangs on boot at "Mounting USB Filesystem"
I installed todays rawhide updates, including kernel 2.6.7-1.492. My
system now hangs during boot at "Mounting USB Filesystems." Reverting
to 2.6.7-1.488 boots fine.
The new kernel rendered my mouse and USB DVD writer useless.
So, I also had to revert back to kernel "488"
I had this hang on my first install of FC3t1 also, but it never happened
after I successfully booted once. This hang with the new kernel has
been 100% of my 4 attempts. First attempt reverting to the previous
kernel worked.
Should I enter a bugzilla report for this? What other info is useful?
Thanks.

"built-in" means it's in the kernel boot image, not a module, and
anything that's built in will init at boot. So your system should work,
the only differentce is that you don't have to load a module.
Cool.
However, it only recognizes my USB mouse.
How do I get my external USB DVD writer going again?
Thanks

RE: anyone else having mediacheck problems with FC3t1 images?

If burning the CDs isn't getting anywhere, you could try one of the
other installation methods...
I can confirm that the hard disk installation method works without any
problems. I've been using this method since FC2t1. Once I got around
to creating a special 3G partition just for the ISO images, the rest
was easy. (But since I have already tested hard disk installation,
I guess that it means that other testers should continue to try to
burn CDs or DVDs. ;-) )
Additional details: For the FC2 installations, I burned CD 1 and used
the askmethod boot parameter. For FC3t1 I decided to skip all CD
burning, so I copied vmlinuz and initrd.img from
http://<mirror site>../core/test/2.90/i386/os/isolinux to my
/boot directory.
After updating grub.conf to include an menu line for them, I just booted
the installation kernel. Others used this method when they couldn't
boot the CD during FC2 testing. It worked very well. But without a
bootable CD, I would have had problems if the installation had failed
after formatting / or /boot.

Startup, Shutdown error messages in fc3t1
by Gerry Tool
Whenever I start fc3t1, it shows an error trying to access the time
server clock.redhat.com.
However, ntpd usually starts successfully.
On shutdown, there is always an error associated with iptables. I don't
know the exact nature of the message.
Both messages are not on the screen long enough to read and copy down.
Is this something that should be reported to bugzilla?
Thanks.

Broken pause/seek in rhythmbox with FC2 test update for gstreamer using alsasink
by Per Bjornsson
Hi,
I'm seeing some problems with the test update of gstreamer (0.8.3-2) &
plugins (0.8.2-2) in FC2 test updates, namely, pausing and seeking
essentially don't work in Rhythmbox using alsasink for output. (I
updated since I was getting random sound dropouts in Rhythmbox before;
this does seem to be fixed with the test update - yay!).
What happens is basically that when I pause the playing and restart it,
I get no sound for a long time, then after a few minutes the rest of the
song plays. The progress indicator in Rhythmbox keeps moving during the
silent period until it hits the song length; by the time it starts
playing again it is typically pinned at the end of the song.
I saw this posting on gstreamer-devel regarding seeking brokenness with
alsasink:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5124747&forum_id=5947
The symptoms seem a bit different, but still, I changed to esdsink and
the problem was gone. Benjamin Otte (second poster in the thread) seems
to think that a seeking problem might have been present in 0.8.2
alsasink but should be fixed in CVS; perhaps it would be worth updating
alsasink to the CVS state to test? If others are seeing the same
problems I am it's not particularly useful the way it is! Certainly the
problem seems to be in alsasink since using esd for output seems to fix
everything.
Best regards,
Per Bjornsson
