testing and bugzilla test reports.
by Gene C.
To me, there current way of specifying the "version" for a bugzilla report on
the current round of FC4Tn testing allows an individual to select devel,
FC4T1, FC4T2, test1, or test2. To me this causes confusion and I would like
to suggest the following:
1. If reporting a bug on stuff from development BEFORE the beginning of
"official" testing (before FC4T1 was announced), OK use "devel".
2. Once FC4T1 is announced and before FC2T2 is your system, use "FC4T1" even
if you updated from development .. specify the package version that you got
from development.
3. Once you install FC4T2 (or if you just updated until you got the the
equivalent packages) and before FC4T3, report the bugs against "FC4T2".
4. etc., etc., etc.
I don't know about others but when I see a report with "devel" specified as
the version, I have no idea just what version is really havin the problem.
I would like to see test1, test2, test3 go away ... at least as an option for
reporting a bug.

Random Reboots after last Kernel Update
by Richard Ramson
I know I saw another post on this today but I can't find it now.
Since I just updated my PC with the latest kernel updates, my pc is
now rebooting about every 5 minutes. I hope someone is working on
fixing this real soon. :)

FC4 T2 and Dell M70
by Jamie Bohr
Has any one had luck installing Fedora (3 or 4) on a Dell M70 laptop? I just
got one and wiped out Windows first thing. I was quite disappointed to learn
sound and wireless were not supported in FC4. The audio is AC97 and the
wireless is a Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g. I have searched the Internet
and found where other users were able to get Suse or Ubuntu installled will
little trouble. I am a Fedora fan though. I was surprised to find no sound
and no wireless after installing FC 4 T2.
I am still searching the Internet to get the sound working. The wireless is
very weird though. The system does not see the built in wireless card at
all. When I insert my old Xircom wireless card the builtin Intel
(Pro/Wireless 2915) shows up - what's up with that? My Xircom is not even
listed. I down loaded the drivers from Intel and installed as indicated,
still not luck.
My quesion is this, why does the builtin wireless card not show up until I
put in my old Xircom card? Also why does the Xircom not work? I tired the
Suse live CD, no sound but the wireless card is seen. I was told if I
installed the full workstation version of Suse the sound would work as well.
I would rather stick with Fedora if I can get it to work. I realize FC4 is
still in testing so if I need to file a bug report I will.
I got all the updates with up2date before I posted this message.
Thank you,
Jamie Bohr

up date fails kernel
by glenn
I installed the latest version of up2date (up2date-4.4.15-4) and now I
can not use "up2date --nosig" where the only outstanding pkgs are kernel
pkgs (1267 rev). I am currently on kernel 1261.
When I ask 'yum -y update', it lists the kernel pkgs but reports that I
am currently up to date and therefore does nothing.
I am using the I386 environment of FC4 T2.
Anyone else having this issue this morning

I had to approch it that way as none of the console's
work for me at present due to another bug to do with
the MGA driver for the matrox G400 and G550 series of cards.

Default theme missing after todays updates.
by David Bentley
Todays updates cause a major problem in that you can't
login because the Default theme is missing from the
following location :-
/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default
The solution is to boot in text mode (edit the boot
for the kernel that runs [latest kernel panics but
that another story] and add a 3 so it looks like rhgb
quiet 3 and then boot)
When you are in login as root and re-crate the default
folder by copying the Blucurve one and re-naming it to
Default.
logout and re-boot and all will be well again.

Does anyone have the ITE 8212 controller driver
by Guy Fraser
I bought a new board [ASUS P5AD2-E] with the ITE 8212 chipset.
I have Googled and found only complaints, for the first 5 pages.
In one of the results someone mentioned that Alan Cox may be
working on the drivers.
I disabled the RAID on all the SATA and IDE controllers in BIOS.
This new board supports up to 14 drives;
Ports - Mfg. - Chipset - Status
1 ATA33/66/100 - Intel - ICH6 - Detected and works
4 SATA150 - Intel - ICH6R - Detected and works
4 SATA150 - SIS - Sil3114R - Appears to be unsupported
2 ATA133 - ITE 8212 - Appears to be unsupported
The drives I have listed as "Appears to be unsupported"
do not seem to have any drivers loaded, and lspci lists
the as "Unknown ..." or something like that.
I didn't have time to do much testing yesterday due to
family commitments. Any suggestions about what tests I
should perform.

Me neither, but apparently there's a flag with that label on some cards.

Try un-muting the "External" thing at the very right (select it and
hit "M"); I think that's the relevant one.
