Yum Fails with this error message
by Dwaine Garden
Trying to update the development tree on my computer. Yum does
everything ok, but when it tries to install all the rpm packages, I get
this error message.
I have tried about 10 mirror sites without any success.
Why???
[root@www ~]# yum update

FC3 on inspiron 2600
by Justin Georgeson
I'm considering setting up FC3 in a dual-boot configuration with a Dell
Inspiron 2600 laptop and was wondering if anyone knows of any gotchas
or unsupported hardware. From the cursory checking I've done so far
there's the possibility of having Anaconda freak out and I'll get the a
Fatal IO Error 104 from mini-wm during install, but supposedly
text-mode install should work. Things I'm mostly curious about are
power management features. What kind of support for powering down the
hard drive and fan is there? Alsothrottling the CPU to conserve
heat/power, and most importantly, s2d support. Am I going to have to
look at the swsusp projects and pick one to roll in by hand, or has any
effort been made to integrate one into the distribution?

Yep. Well, something like that - I was using wget and rpm
this time around. It looks like we need to --exclude mozilla*
for now. Maybe there is a new epiphany coming. (I have been
waiting for an epiphany for years. ;-)

Recent kernels freezing on Via C3?
by Andy Green
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi folks -
Recent kernels seem to be freezing after some time on Via EPIA i586 machine.
Tried with:
- vanilla 2.6.8
- kernel-2.6.8-1.584
Although I am compiling and trying to get to work wifi drivers at the moment,
with the Vanilla 2.6.8 I was using one card/driver and with -584 another, so
I doubt they both have the same crashing problem. Machine works normally and
falls over after some time, completely unresponsive.
Happened to be running slabtop when it fell over last time, since the driver I
was trying to get to work had problems allocating ~40K of dma-able memory.
Don't know if that has any clues.

boot problems
by Florian Idelberger
Dear Fedora List-Members,
during my tryout I experienced a couple of problems (upgrading from fc 2).
First, I chose "upgrade existing boot-manager", but after the
installation only my windows install was listed by grub.
So I booted into rescue, chrooted and created an entry in grub.conf
which at least showed up.
It something like: title FedoraFC3Test2
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.541
initrd
/boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.541.img
Linux resides on /dev/hda2, so I think the partitition is specified the
right way, this being confirmed by a try to boot.
When trying to boot at first everything seems fine, the kernel is found
and starts booting. Then when the mounting and udev part comes, somehow
the root filesystem can't get mounted, and I get a kernel panic like:
"Kernel Panic! Tried to kill init!"
Any suggestions? Every Previous version of Fedora installed just fine.
(at least they all booted into graphical mode)
Thx in advance, Florian

wxWidgets
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Will wxWidgets be getting shipped with FC3? It would be a definate boost
if version 2.5.2 was included with the final shipped version.

Reiserfs doesn't works!
by Mazli Alias
Installation...i think reiserfs doesn't work.Tried multiple installation
even with the default LVM mode, without SELinux, with logical partition,
even fresh install on a single harddisk. Its kinda frustrating for i had
a /home partition on reiserfs. It works when i have it mounted on a Suse
9.1 (default with reiserfs). I'm looking forward for this release. It
has lots of new features, even K3B and dvd+rw-tools were of the latest
version (supports dual-layer DVD...though haven't tried it yet!)

FC3 on Dell Inspiron 8000
by Wal
My experiences with FC3 on a Dell Inspiron 8000, with ATI 128 m4 mobility, 15 inch display-
The Inspiron 8000 video and display really like to operate at 1400 x 1050 depth 24.
I have had problems with other settings with several OSs.
The anaconda GUI install process tries to use a video setting that does not work for
this (and probably similar) laptops. I use text install and before bringing up the newly
installed system, I use rescue or Knoppix to edit the xorg.conf settings to use-
HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0
VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
NOTE- I may not have the best settings.
I guess the anaconda mini-x stuff would need to use the 1400x1050 24 settings for the
gui to work for this device.
I installed the rawhide from 20040912 (kernel 541). It is working quite well-
using wlan-ng for wireless with a Linksys WPC11 v3 with WEP shared keys.
I got the orinoco driver to work also, just used iwconfig essid and enc
to set the WEP - with orinoco, sometimes I had to down and up the card twice - seemed like
cardmgr was too fast or too slow.
I had 2 USB drives in at the same time - worked great - they were
physically pushing against each other, but so-what - the udev worked
fine - I have gotten used to doing: eject /dev/sda1
Compiled some packages I use - no problems.
Really like that Firefox is already there and relatively current.
Wish Firefox was "by default" on the toolbar next to Mozilla.
The sound settings were at bottom (off), which is sorta nice. Simply had to
use kde mixer to adjust the sound level.
Haven't tried to power saving stuff yet.
The sendmail daemon also seems so slow when booting - sometimes several minutes
Since I dont need it, I disabled it.
In fact, I disabled a lot.
Was surprised to see auth (port 113) active - disabled it.
Oh, I installed everything - used ftp. I did not have rpms for some packages, so
I made a copy of a very small valid rpm and gave it the name skippackage.rpm
and then did symbolic links when the installer complained about a missing rpm.
The retry would succeed. Crude, but effective. Finally wrote perl script to
go against the .listing file and create any need links.
It would be nice to be able to select everything and deselect packages via regular
expressions. Probably ought to be using kickstart (ks=).
