gcc -Os triggers oops in io_edgeport kernel module
by Willem Riede
The oops I reported earlier on this list, and in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=109029025821698&w=2
turns out to be triggered by just this directive in the .config file:
[root@fallguy root]# diff -u ok3.config bad.config
--- ok3.config 2004-07-25 11:45:05.000000000 -0400
+++ bad.config 2004-07-25 13:45:11.000000000 -0400
@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@
CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE=y
CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ=y
-# CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is not set
+CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
#
# Loadable module support
So the size optimization, which is on in the FC3T1 kernel, but about which the
config help warns that it may produce invalid code, trips up over the code
generation for the io_edgeport module.
By inserting extra print statements, and seeing how many come out, I've
deduced that the bad code is produced around 'get_manufacturing_desc' in
the following code fragment in 'edge_startup()' in drivers/usb/serial/
io_edgeport.c:
get_string(dev, dev->descriptor.iProduct, &edge_serial->name[i]);
dev_info(&serial->dev->dev, "%s detected\n", edge_serial->name);
/* get the manufacturing descriptor for this device */
==> get_manufacturing_desc (edge_serial); <===
/* get the boot descriptor */
get_boot_desc (edge_serial);
get_product_info(edge_serial);
The gcc version installed:
[root@fallguy root]# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.1 20040714 (Red Hat 3.4.1-5)
Should I enter a bug against gcc in bugzilla?
Thanks, Willem Riede.

[FC3] cron being killed off
by Harry Putnam
I've seen no traffic here about this so maybe its a foible in local
config but something keeps killing off cron.
It runs a while but next thing I know some regular jobs aren't
happening and checking shows:
sudo service crond status
Password:
crond dead but pid file exists
What might cause this situation?
My F3T1 install is not fully updated due to the perl problem recently
but I see no update for cron related stuff. At least nothing with
`cron' in the name. A `yum list updates' doesn't show any.
Has anyone else seen this with FC3?

FC3T1 - On install, can't open optional ports in Firewall
by richard mullens
When I did an install, Telnet was no longer available as an option in
the firewall setting and I didn't see a window to specify other ports.
The help referred to the screen as it was in FC2 and didn't suggest how
ports might be opened after Install.
I guess that a common requirement would be to allow other systems to use
a printer attached to the installed system.

Re: Installing FC3 Test 1 x86-64 on Asus K8V
by Jack Burge
I am having trouble installing FC3 Test 1 on an Asus K8V mother board. When the installation gets to the loading of the "sata-via driver" the installation just stalls at this point. Has anyone else had this problem, if so how did you solve it?

SATA boot whish for FC3
by Bjorn Andersen
Hi
Since Fedora Core 1 and the support of SATA disks there haw been a
problem in detection of standard boot device.
The Fedora installer dont detect what device the bios will boot on.
Annaconda standard boot on /dev/hda if it is present, but the people
that have a SATA disk as primary boot device, will have to switch the
boot loader to that device. If not, the bootloader will not boot,
because it is set on hda (the secondary harddisk).
It would be a god idea to have Anaconda detect what primary bootdevice
from the bios. (like SuSE)
I have seen a lot of frustrated newbees telling me that Fedora 2 dont
support SATA disks, and thats a shame.
Regards
Bjorn Andersen

mc - B/W in root gnome-terminal - design or problem?
by Jim Cornette
I noticed that running mc in a root terminal su- not su without the -
causes mc to be displayed in b/w. I don't see this behavior in a regular
user either.
Running mc in a normal screen shell is displayed in color.
I believe mutt and other programs do the same thing.
running setup displays in color.
Is anyone else seeing something like this?
Out of curiousity, I tried the experiment in xterm. mc and mutt were b/w
for any user.

more dependencies weirdness
by charles f. zeitler
the first time i logged on
(to fc3t1) there was 246(iirc)
updates- with a depency hangup
which i resolved by excluding balsa.
now it seems there are 96, which
hang on libbtctl & bluetooth,
both require libsdp.so.2,
(not available!) & attempts
to exclude them
( yum --exclude=libbtctl --exclude=bluetooth update )
does no good.
rpm reports libsdp.so.2 is supplied by
bluez-libs-2.7-2, which it says is installed.

Yike I forgot to save grub.conf setting for text mode settings
by Harry Putnam
Before installing FC3 I saved nearly everything usable from an running
FC2, but foolishly forgot about /boot/grub.conf.
I had some trick string on the kernel line that caused a smaller
character size in non-x terminals something like 0x318 or similar.
Where can I look up those notations and how they relate to character
size? There must be a chart somewhere that shows how many lines
veritically and how many chars horizontally one gets.

RPMs missing from rawhide
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
The following seem to be missing from rawhide
gtkhtml3 needs libgtkhtml-3.1.so.10
vim-enhanced needs /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi
perl needs perl(Carp::Heavy)
Now, I know about the gtkhtml3 one (it's been covered a few times), but
I wasn't aware of the perl problems. Is that down to my box or is it a
rawhide problem.
