Newl FC4T2-x86_64 install won't boot on AMD64
by Christopher
I've just installed FC4T2 x86_64 on a new AMD64 system (via K8T800 Pro chipset).
When setup finished and restartet computer it just hangs after trying to load
kernel. If I remove 'acpi=off' from grub kernel line it goes a bit further but
stops and asks me for a runlevel. It complains about not finding inittab.. I'm
using a SATA drive btw.
PS! I'm not the only one having this problem. See this forum thread:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=248728
PPS! I did an install of FC3 x86_64 yesterday and installed all (!) the updates.
Rebooted the computer and noticed I had got a new 2.6.11 kernel (FC3 uses 2.6.9
when installed) and I got the same problem there as with FC4T2.
Anyone got a clever workaround?

Multiple boot errors
by William
After the update yesterday around 3pm, I can not log into Linux. Here is the situation.
1) During bootup it loads audit
2) While loading volumes it gives the error message "/sbin/undevstart exited abnormally (PID 386)" and "/sbin/undevstart exited abnormally (PID 401)"
3) Then it gives me two screen full of similar error messages:
"audit (1114593678.830) avc : denied forname=XXX dev=proc ino=XXX scontext"
4) When it gets to loading eth0, it gives this error message:
"cannot remove /etc/resolv.conf predhclient permission denied" followed by clvmd failed
5) When it gets to the login screen it says default them is not available and uses the one with the flower
6) Login box has three dots in it and will not focus. I can not type anything into the login box.
I am running a Dell Inspiron 1150 with a Pentium 4 Celeron 2.6ghz, 512mb ram, and Intel 852 graphics with a BroadCom 440x 10/100 Network Controller. I have tried all previous Kernels with same results.

Gnumeric?
by Robert Walsh
Pardon me if I missed the discussion, but what happened to gnumeric?
The release notes say it has been removed (along with a bunch of other
stuff) but no reason was given.

Home Dir labels (manifested as a failed Flash install)
by Sean Earp
Hello all-
In working with bug 152611, I have run into a problem whereby my fresh
install of FC4 apparently has the wrong security labels on files in my
home dir. Could someone try the following and post your results?
1) Start up Firefox without having Flash installed
2) Go to a site that requires flash (ie nvidia.com, anandtech.com),
and load flash using the option that Firefox presents
3) See if Flash is functional after doing so (it probably will not be)
4) Fire up a terminal, navigate to ~/.mozilla/plugins, and run ls -Z
5) Report back as to whether the label says "default_t" (what I end up with)
[smearp@localhost ~]$ cd .mozilla/plugins
[smearp@localhost plugins]$ ls -Z
-rw-r--r-- smearp smearp user_u:object_r:default_t flashplayer.xpt
-rwxr-xr-x smearp smearp user_u:object_r:default_t libflashplayer.so
or the following (which I can only get by running restorecon -R -v ~/
[smearp@localhost ~]$ cd .mozilla/plugins
[smearp@localhost plugins]$ ls -Z
-rw-r--r-- smearp smearp user_u:object_r:user_home_t flashplayer.xpt
-rwxr-xr-x smearp smearp user_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t
libflashplayer.so
Just trying to figure out if this is a global problem, or a "Just Me"
kind of thing. Thanks,
-Sean

Lockup with kernel 1267 & AthlonXP 2000
by Patrick
Hi all,
With several people reporting lockups/freezes of their 64bit boxes, I
thought I report the lockup I just had on my AthlonXP 2000 running
kernel 1267 and FC4T2. System became totally unresponsive and needed a
hard reset. There was no info in /var/log/messages and when it froze the
box was (I think) running anacron in the background and I was reading
email in Evolution. SELinux is disabled on the box and it is up2date.
Anyone else experienced this?
Regards,
Patrick

FC4-t2 & Dell i6000: VESA only video and no sound
by Paul Dickson
I'm using FC4-test2 on my week-old Inspiron 6000 notebook. So far I can
only use a 1024x768 VESA display on my 1280x800 i915 hardware.
Search the web, the only part of the kernel I'm not sure of is whether
the intel_agp module is compiled in. The agpgart is compiled in and i915
module is there but unused. Also xorg can't find the hardware, so my
problem might just be unsupported id numbers WRT xorg. I can include
xorg log messages in a future message if it's needed.
As the subject states, I get no sound from FC4-t2. It works great with
Knoppix 3.8.1 though. Desktop->System Settings->Soundcard Detection
provides:
Vendor: Intel
Model: Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller
Module: snd-intel8x0
Which I think is correct (I think), but the text field formatting is off.
Looking at the lsmod output, I wonder why lp and parport are there. I
don't have that hardware port on this notebook.
Thank in advance for any help.
-Paul
Attached is the output from lspci -vv anf lsmod.

Poor laptop performance
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A10 with the 2.6.11-1.1261 kernel (just
updating now) and xorg-x11 6.8.2-27. Performance on it is terrible -
running yum update with a download of 80 packages (about 162 updates)
can take over 5 hours to download and install - it's really that bad.
When I run top, I'm finding X is using something like 129% MEM. CPU
usage ticks over at 0.7% (average).
Anyone else seeing this and moreover, is there anything I can do to
remedy the situation?
TTFN
