So, why is my kernel not updating? I tried setting exactarch=0, and I tried
also yum install kernel.

Ximian Evolution Connector with SSL connections.
by Mr. Adam ALLEN
I can't connect to works Exchange server with Ximian Connector when
using SSL. Before jumping into bugzilla wanted to see if anyone else has
found problems with this.
After not been able to connect I recompiled the src.rpm with --with-e2k-
debug, then set E2K_DEBUG to 10 in a terminal
The symptoms:
- ximian-connector-setup, doesn't believe https://mail.server/exchange
is valid, and keeps pointing at using http://mail.server/exchange
instead.
- Ignoring the fact that works server is only ssl- i end up getting some
debug back in the terminal (just saying that access is forbidden!)
- From evolution, setup of the account works. However when connecting
simply end up with "a Network Error".
- A tcpdump shows that a SYN, ACK happens but no data ever makes it
anywhere. No debug from E2K_DEBUG is kicked to the terminal.
Have other people found problems with Ximian Connector with SSL
connected exchange servers.

Nvidia driver and VMALLOC_RESERVE problem
by Alexander Volovics
Getting the nvidia driver (version 6111) working under FC3T2 (with
kernel-2.6.8-1.584) is proving to be rather bothersome.
First I encountered the 'no screen found problem'.
After modprobing nvidia I encountered the 'unknown symbol VMALLOC_RESERVE'
problem.
I have no idea what is happening.
Can anybody suggest a quick (and dirty) fix?

according to system monitor. System is sluggish.
Anyone else seeing that.

That is actually my patch, glad somebody took notice. ;-). I have an
updated version that I haven't submitted yet, that cleans up a lot of
the parsing and has some security precautions in it. I should have
that update this week.
Unfortunately my patch won't help people trying to connect to
accesspoints with non-broadcast ESSIDS. I actually specifically
exclude those from my scanned ap list. I have thought about how to
include support this case, but haven't come up with a sure fire
method.
My best idea would be to use the iwlist ap command to get the HW
addresses of available access points and then look for
ACCESSPOINT=value in the different ifcfg- scripts. The big drawback
with this, is to properly implement it system-config-network would
have to be changed to add an ACCESSPOINT option under the wireless
config. This should not be too hard, but I haven't had the time in
the last week to really get my hands dirty.
If people are interested in this funtionality please let me know. I
definitely see this as a place where linux in general is a bit behind
the curve.

This is just a guess, but try adding a few parameters
to the grub.conf kernel line:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.541 ro root=/dev/hda2

Reiser4 has been officially released and considered stable by Mr. Hans
Reiser. Is there any idea to incorporate it in Test 3 considering the freeze
in test 2 ?
