Macbook Pro and Fedora Core Test 1
by Nathan Grennan 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

I just got finished getting my Macbook Pro to tri-boot. It went very smoothly once I found the right instructions. I did skip lilo and let Fedora use grub. After I installed Fedora Core 6 Test 1 I installed rEFit, which is an optional part of the instructions. rEFit looks very nice, and works well. I got an error about apic. I had to use noapic on the next boot. After a yum update and a reboot the latest kernel, kernel-2.6.17-1.2336.fc6, still oopsed on apic. I couldn't pick 1440x900, the default resolution for X. Interestingly enough I could pick Generic 1440x900 LCD as the monitor. I picked 1280x800 for the resolution. I found Screen Resolution says the screen is running at 1152x864 though. Sound works, at least with headphones. Which pleasantly surprised me. Firstboot didn't reboot the machine after I disabled SELinux. Wired networking worked out of the box. http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Triple_Boot_via_BootCamp

ATrpms goes FC6
by Axel Thimm 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06

Hi, usually ATrpms jumps into testing at test2 or test3. This time we'll try supporting FC6 from test1 onwards. A couple of notes: o ATrpms uses disttags of 5.90 matching the internal verisoning of test1. When test2 hits the road packages will all be rebuilt with 5.91 as a disttag and so on. That way upgrade paths are retained (but these are not guaranteed within test releases/rawhide anyway, so don't feel on the safe side) and rebuilds don't have to bump the buildtag in front of the disttag, so when your FC5 box has foo-1.2.3-4.* and test/rawhide bits also start with foo-1.2.3-4.* it means that the same sources/specfiles are still used. o kernel support (kmdls) is there, both for the test release kernel, 2.6.16-1.2289_FC6, as well as hopefully the latest rawhide kernel, 2.6.17-1.2318_FC6. Oops, the latest is already 2.6.17-1.2328.fc6, and by the time you're reading this probably even further. The point is that ATrpms will try to support the latest rawhide kernel, but it certainly can't keep up to the pace of rawhide. :) o Please report bugs, especially regression wrt FC5 on bugzilla.atrpms.net under fc6. Thanks and have fun! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

FC6 test1 - cpuspeed-1.2.1-1.34
by Roberto Cangiamila 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06

cpuspeed-1.2.1-1.34 fails on FC6 test 1 for intel mac platform. It fails, because intel mac is multicore. I get this error message : /etc/init.d/cpuspeed: line 45: /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings/cpufreq/scaling_governor: Not a directory

FC6t1 and rawhide rescue: Is pcmcia network install OK ?
by David Timms 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06

I am trying the FC6t1 installer for network install (diskboot.iso or rescuecd.iso, or today's rescuecd.iso {80610 KB 06/30/2006 08:33:00 AM}), I do lang-eng,keyb=us,method=ftp (or nfs/http), I get No driver found: Select Driver. The PCCard (ethernet,wired) module will load according to VT3, but I then get asked again to select driver. The two cards are: {notebook is hp omnibook 4150, pentiumII} - Xircom Creditcard ethernet+modem 33.6 CEM33 {xirc2ps_cs driver previously} - SMC etherez 8020BT/T { I haven't used either of these two pccard ethernet adaptors before when trying to install FC5 or 4 (but both operate with FC5), so I do not know whether: - a kernel module load problem discussed a few days ago might still be causing issues. {wait a bit!} - it should work but requires module arguments {offered in selection} - it should just work -> file a bug Some info from VT's: 3: : modules to insert pcmcia_core yenta_socket pcmcia : load module set done : modules to insert yenta_socket : load module set done 4: <6>cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af: excluding 0x120-0x127 0x220-0x22f 0x378-0x37f 0x388-0x38f <6>cs: warning: no high memory space available! <6>cs: IO port probe {identical to previous} Then select the driver: 3: : modules to insert xirc2ps_cs : loaded xirc2ps_cs from /modules.modules.cgz : inserted /tmp/xirc2ps_cs.ko : load module set done But then back to driver select screen. VT2 is not yet a usable command prompt. DaveT.

firefox downgrade on FC5
by Ian Burrell 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I just did an rsync of my local FC5 updates mirror and noticed that it downloaded firefox-0.10.0-1.0PR1.5.i386.rpm and removed the other firefox packages. It looks like an ancient firefox package somehow got into the FC5 updates directory. This isn't just a mirror problem; it is at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/fire…. - Ian
