Booting from SATA drive
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
This is an amplification on the previous report of booting
difficulties from a SATA drive.
System has three IDE drives + DVD on the usual controller.
I added a SATA drive to increase memory. The bios allows
the the boot order to be changed, so I was able to install
XP on the SATA drive and boot it.
I installed FC4 to the SATA drive and used the advanced
install option to write the boot to the SATA drive. But
Windows still booted directly, no Grub.

pam-0.79-10, coreutils-5.2.1-51: logins no longer work
by Ville Herva
After yum upgraded pam from pam-0.79-8 to pam-0.79-10 and from
coreutils-5.2.1-48 to coreutils-5.2.1-51, I can no longer su, nor log in as
root or anybody else. su just gives "incorrect password". See attached
strace (NOTE: I erased some string, passwd contents etc).
I'm running up-to-date Fedora Rawhide, but vanilla kernel.org 2.6.12-rc4.
selinux is disabled on kernel command line and in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.
I downgraded back to pam-0.79-8 and coreutils-5.2.1-48 and everything works
again.
"strace" is with pam-0.79-10, coreutils-5.2.1-51 (DOESN'T WORK)
"strace.working" is with pam-0.79-8, coreutils-5.2.1-48 (WORKS)

Stop ignoring #152566 bug
by Cimmo
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152566
I've reported it since Fedora Core test 1, all people thought that it is
related to nvidia network, but it isn't.
It's a Fedora's bug, and prevent me to update Fedora itself.
Please stop ignoring it and fix it.
I'm at complete disposition to test patch, report others informations
and whatever,
BUT STOP IGNORING THIS BUG!

Is there any work underway to fix the gpilot bug?
by Kyle Pointer
GPilot hasn't worked correctly since.. Fedora Core 4 test 1. ( possibly late FC3 too )
It has been a looooong time since it has worked right, and I would like to ask..
is anything being done to fix it?!
I like being able to use my palm pilot with evolution.... I really do.

screen bug in FC4
by Cimmo
1) Someone else seen this bug? Seem to appear only with KDE, at random time.
Attachment is very poor because I have to stay under 40 KB, just see all
the dark part, like window's draw is broken.
2) another thing: I've freshly installed FC4, but the root is /1 instead
of / that I have specified, any ideas?
my conf:
FC4-x86_64 final
Athlon64 3000+
1 GB of ram
GeForce6600 GT
nv module (no nvidia module installed yet)
thanx

FC5 Wishlist
by Sean Bruno
I would like to see "Gutenprint" added at some point for testing
purposes. It is getting pretty close to a release and it couldn't hurt
to have some more testing at this time.

Up2date & RHN
by Mike Chambers
I see that the headers dir doesn't exist in rawhide, either because yum
now uses repodata or something is wrong?
In the case of repodata, what should be in
the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources dir to point to what would show needs
updating for the rhn applet? It doesn't seem to use the repo structure
to show you the exclamation point when things need updating. Just shows
the check mark that it's updated.
Or am I missing something? haha
