Where can I get last month's Rawhide kernels?
by Mary Ellen Foster
I'm trying to track down a network problem I have on my laptop when I
plug it into the network at work
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=154512). I
recall being able to make the problem go away by booting with
"acpi=off" in FC4T1, but I didn't test it heavily, and I did a
complete reinstall of FC4T2 so I don't have those kernels any more
(and "acpi=off" no longer helps).
I'd like to try installing the older kernels again to see if my memory
is correct, because that could give a pointer to what the problem is.
I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find any mirror that
still has March-vintage Rawhide kernels; is there somewhere that I'm
missing?
(And am I the only person with this problem? It's beginning to seem
that way ...)
Thanks for any help you can give!

Getting error 13 on saving prefs in Squirrelmail
by Roger Grosswiler
Hi,
Got a Webserver running in FC4T2, which should use squirrelmail, that should connect to another mailserver. All is
working fine now, except saving the preferences.
I get always error 13 and get logged out. Is this a selinux-issue?

FC4test2 remarks
by BAYEV V.V.
Remarks on FC4test2 (installation on disk with Win98/XP with formatting) :
1. During installation √ when I select language of menu √ Russian and language of keyboard √ Russian too, on the screen SELECTION OF LOADER there is no a small window (Configure advanced boot loader option) for to install Grub not in the main boot sector √ this is possible only if I select English setup menu (with Russian keyboard support) √ but in this case instead of first boot sector Grub installed in main boot sector and in fisrt boot sector simultaneuosly (after start in DOS and command ⌠fdisk /mbr■ fisrt boot sector was cleared and I use boot.ini file as before).
2. After finishing of installation with Russian keybord and rebooting, when the promt for to input new user appeared √ impossible to add new user, becouse the keyboard in this moment is Russian and I can not change the language by any combination of buttons. I made it only inside FC4 from menu.
3. After installation there is only English in the list of supported languages, but I istalled FC4 with Russian language support.
4. When I attemped to install kernel-module-ntfs for FC4 for NTFS support, the system said me √ no NTFS, when I tried to uninstall (rpm √e ...) system said: this package not installed■, and during booting process the stirng about NTFS as not detected file system appeared.
5. Volume of sound card (Creative Live 5.1) is significantly less than in FC3, the amount of channels with ajusting of level is less than before √ only 2 (as simple stereo), but in FC3 there are many parameters of sound which I could change for all 6 channels. In XINE and RealPlaayer9 their own volume regulations are not active at all.
6. TV-tuner DV3000 not active as before in FC3, but system detected it as SAA7134.
7. Printer HP 3650 not active, but detected as HP36xx (in FC3 it was OK).
8. GOOD THINGS:
When I installed XINE and RealPlayer9 √ they appeared as menu items in Gnome;
Many new programs √ dictionary, GhostView, Office etc.
9. WISHES:
Include program ⌠Answering machine/Fax■
Include program ⌠DialUp Server■ or PPP-Server ( for 1-2 modems)
Include package LICQ (now I use LICQ for RH9 √ more native for FC3 & FC4)
Include package for NTFS-detection
Include support for printers Canon LBP-1120 and HP 3650

Anyone have Marvell extranet connections for a SATA driver?
by Brian Rademacher
I've been struggling for months trying to get FC3/FC4 working on an Abit
SU-2S with a Marvell 88SX-6081 SATA-II controller...When the drives are
under high load, they go offline and never come back...This bug is noted in
Marvell's 3.40 driver, but I am unable to get anything newer...I've gone as
far as to sign a NDA with Marvell, and they still won't let me on their
extranet to get the driver...
Unfortunately, ABIT (who should really be the ones supporting this issue)
has disavowed any knowledge of this motherboard and has apparently
discontinued their entire server line for now...
As it stands now, I'm stuck with a kick ass $500 motherboard that looks
great on paper (although I was seeing 1,800 megs/sec cached and 120 megs/sec
off of the drives before they crashed)! If anyone has any Marvell
connections, I would certainly appreciate whatever you can do...
Anyway, on a side note, if anyone runs in to an installation problem where
formatting the drives in software RAID-0 dies every time, I found that
manually formatting it this way got me past that point (presumably because
the controller saw less load for whatever reason, but it's probably a touch
more optimized than the format that is passed from Anaconda - I've probably
done about 30-40 failed installs before I came up with this, so maybe it
will help someone):
mdadm --create -l 0 -n 2 -c 256 /dev/(sdX) /dev/(sdX)
mke2fs /dev/(mdX) -i 32768 -j -m 1 -R stride=64
Also some more information for people searching in the future, a good site
for manually compiling the Marvell driver is here:
http://www.keffective.com/mvsata/
After I did that, I still had to break out of the install and do the
following:
mknod /dev/hda b 3 0 (assuming a cdrom drive)
mkdir /mnt/cd
mount /dev/hda /mnt/cd
modprobe /mnt/cd/mv_sata.ko
umount /mnt/cd
One other tiny bit of useful info that I found is that putting the swap file
on the drives separately (not in a RAID) will still allow the kernel to
stripe it on its own, as long as the priority is the same in fstab, which
would look something like this:
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0
/dev/sdb2 swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0

So it all boils down to uncontroversial quotes.
My suggestion:
fortune-mod package + Fedora Tips package (To be created if not already
present).
By this way, Fedora can end up shipping fortune program,make the wanda
fish and the user happy.

Lexmark z515 w/FC4t2
by Mike Chambers
Anyone know (Tim?) if this printer is compat with FC4t2? If so, what
driver (or what Lexmark Model) works with it? If not, guess I'm using a
locally connected Z52 printer for now.

Netgear WG511 Wireless card with Marvell chip
by Jaap Hoetmer
When ordering a new 802.11g wireless card (Netgear
WG511) I found out when receiving it that this version
(V2 as it appears to be) does not have a Prism GT
chipset, but Netgear changed to a Marvell chipset for
that card. Investigation prior to the purchase led me
to believe I was OK with this card, as the Prism
chipset is apparently properly supported in Fedora.
I understand the only way I can get this card to work
is by using Ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers. Which
is somewhat tricky, as I also need to change the
kernel's stack size from 4K to 8K, and install the
Ndiswrapper and driver software.
Do-able, but I was wondering if someone knew if Fedora
Core 4 would have support built-in for the Marvell
chipset. Either by including ndiswrapper and 8K
stacks, or by a native driver?
Linuxant DriverLoader is another solution, for $20.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jaap

Laptop poor performance
by Sean Bruno
I seem to be running into some issues with performance on my laptop. It
appears the machine is dramatically slowing down under load.
I was, er ... uh ... load testing, with America's Army, and noted that
my laptop runs fine for a bout 3 to 5 minutes. Then the fans kick into
overdrive and I lose about %60 of my performance(determined via my FPS
in game, not real accurate).
I never saw this type of slow down under any FC3 kernel, what should I
be looking for?

Rawhide install report
by Orion Poplawski
Finally, a successful install from rawhide. Here are some issues:
The text mode "graphics" look horrible:
- On the left side of the title is a J with a circumflex. On the right is
a square box. I'm sure these are not the desired graphics characters.
- Progress bars (or their shadows?) extend on character beyond the right edge.
- Shadowing on the bottom seems to be off one line too low.
- There is no border around windows, so when one window is displayed on top
of another it is very confusing.
Also, I end up with a negative number of packages remaining to install.
System thinks it's going to install 561 packages, but ends up installing
624 so the "remaining" count eventually goes negative. Here's my kickstart
