/root encryption is still broken
by Bruno Wolff III
I tried out today's boot.iso and things got further. It appears that the
install was successful using encrypted raid 1 partitions. (This used
to fail.) But when I tried to boot the system, I wasn't asked for
a password. During the boot process /dev/root couldn't be mounted. Things
continued for a short while and then hung up after some usb devices
were detected.
For a problem like this, what component should be used?

Netinst.iso devolution x86_64 Rawhide 3/5/08
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Unhandled exception after setting disk parameters, before
selecting what to install
Intel dg33bu motherboard, core duo
It would be nice if the disk format was deferred until after
software selection.

SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t.
by Antonio Olivares
Dear all,
I have done this before :
"touch /.autorelabel; reboot"
several days pass and I see this file_t again and I
have to do "in quote" this again . What is file_t
anyway?
I do not know of any in my system.
Thanks,
Antonio
Summary:
SELinux is preventing access to files with the label,
file_t.
Detailed Description:
SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are
being denied. file_t is
the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do
not have a label. This
indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an
SELinux box should ever be
labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk
drive to the system you can
relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you
should relabel the entire
files system.
Allowing Access:
You can execute the following command as root to
relabel your computer system:
"touch /.autorelabel; reboot"

Re: got java (icedtea) but no time
by Steven I Usdansky
Neglected to mention that I was using Firefox2. Switching to Firefox3
solves the problem, but it's got to be using the worst-looking font
available on my system :)

Hard drive install only uses .iso files and not mirrored repo?!
by Bruno Wolff III
I have only one x86_64 box available to test installs with. I tried using
buildinstall to see if I got a later version of anaconda that way (once
upon a time I believe that anaconda on the images was a day behind). My
understanding is that I need to run that on the same architecure (at least
without learning to use mock) so I used one disk for the simple install
(that doesn't trigger the mkinitrd problem with raid/luks) and was going to
to use the other for a practice install.
Unfortunately when I tried using the new netinst.iso none of the install
options applied. The hard drive install expected the images wrapped up
in an iso file instead of being available more directly and the local CD/DVD
option wouldn't let me do something similar for a hard drive (I figured that
wasn't likely to work) because I didn't get to specify a device. The URL
and NFS options won't work either as the file isn't available over the
network.
So I would either need to make an iso image out of the repo or copy the
repo (actually just the images, as I have the repo locally on another machine
already) and do a network install.
It's probably rare that people have the images on the same machine they
are installing to, but it might be nice to provide someway to use a repo
mirror on a hard drive at some future point. (Not now, I have a lot of other
stuff work first relating to installs.) The set of people I would expect this
to help are ones mirroring rawhide on their current stable version of Fedora,
doing test installs of rawhide on to the same box in other partitions.
