dv8000 won't boot new info
by Neal Becker
I'm struggling to boot various Fedora kernels on my new hp dv8000. I
learned something very interesting.
Install from FC4 -> boots OK
update to any FC4 update kernel -> hangs
ACPI: Ssubsystem revision 20050902
Install FC5T1 -> boots OK
update to newer 2.6.15 from rawhide -> hangs
same result as above.
Conclusion:
It's _not the kernel version_ that's the problem. It's the installer.
Kernels installed by anaconda work. Those installed by rpm -i don't. (I
have tried others also).
Question1: What could be the problem?
Question2: Can I somehow run anaconda's kernel install manually to update my
kernel?

EMACS font problems
by McBroom, Robert C
Since the changes to modular X, EMACS uses a humongous font. The font
for the buffer can be set from the options menu but saving the change
does not make it permanent. The 6x13 fixed font works well for
displaying the 133 character line printer output from classic scientific
programs on a 1280x1024 screen. I can't find a selection to change the
font for the menu. Apparently that would require getting into the lisp
files. Where is the missing link?

Re: No Floppy
by McBroom, Robert C
With today's update to udev, the floppy can be mounted. Just rebooting
does not get it in the list for auto mount.

See below for details. Let me know if you want me to file a bug if this is
new.

2.6.15rc kernel packages for FC4.
by Dave Jones
To try and get a jump-start on testing 2.6.15, I've prepared
packages for FC4 based on the current rawhide kernel.
These are likely to change almost daily, and there's no
guarantee how much longer 2.6.15 is going to be in -rc stage,
so I'm going to hold off pushing these out as an official
updates-testing release until a final 2.6.15 has been released.
(Should a security errata be needed before then, I'll push out another
2.6.14 based release)
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC4/
Please file bugs in bugzilla, rather than emailing me/this list about them.

gdm probs with 10 Jan rawhide update
by Clyde E. Kunkel
Hi,
FWIW, bug 177443 describes possible gdm problems with gdm-2.13.0.4-2. I
worked around the problem by booting single and reverting gdm to
2.8.0.4-13.1. Problem was gdm cycling forever thru
starting/failing/restarting with 2 minute rests every 6 cycles.

Trouble installing FC4 on Sony Vaio PCG-5201
by Michael St. Laurent
I cannot get FC4 to install properly on a Sony Vaio PCG-5201. The first
part of the install seems to complete sucessfully but when it is supposed to
boot for the first time from the hard disk I get a BIOS message that says
"Cannot locate Operating System".
