problem on fc3 install dell cerc sata raid card/aacraid driver?
by John H.
Ok, we have a dell poweredge 1800. If we do fc3 linux
rescue, it sees all the drives as a single raid
container, making /dev/sda correctly display as 220gb.
I can modify, create, delete, mount, and write to
partitions from there. On login to linux rescue, it
says "loading aacraid" which seems to be correct.
HOWEVER,
on fc3 actual install, when it gets to partition
portion, it generally fails(but not always) on
accessing/seeing /dev/sda.
help? Do i need to provide some parameter on booting
the linux install?

ipw2200 centrino (again)
by xray
Just another wlan ipw2200 problem again.
I use FC3 and have an Acer Travelmate 4000 with centrino.
To use the wlan i downloaded all needed files and followed every step
(by step) in the INSTALL file.
First, i have to load the driver manually with ./load witch outputs this
error ....
( if i dont load them, eth1 is not displayed )
[root@xr-mobile ipw2200-0.13]# ./load
No modules unloaded.
FATAL: Module firmware_class not found.

I´m a linux beginner, so i was very happy that the wireless tools are
already available via yum - dont even think about kernel configuration ;-)
Any ideas ?
Hope i dont spam around with this problem.

what font is used in login window?
by Peter Scott
I am using Fedora Core 1 (kernel-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl);
the size of the font in the initial boot window and
in the login window is sometimes large, sometimes small,
seeming to vary randomly from one boot to the next.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Does anyone know how this font is determined, and
where it resides?
The font size in some parts of some applications
(e.g. opera, gv) is also affected.
This is an irritant that has been present for over a
year, but it would be nice to fix, so I am writing
this note.
Should I just upgrade to Core 2?

Ghostscript can convert a PCL stream to PDF, via Postscript. If it's
been captured from a printer, it may still be wrapped in PJL, which I
don't believe it can remove. Print to a file and you'll drop the PJL
wrapper.

Thinkpad R51 and sleep
by Colin Charles
So, I bit the bullet, and have a Thinkpad R51 now running Fedora Core 3
+ all the updates
My display controller is:
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
Device (rev 02)
When I try to put the machine to sleep, via my acpi config
in /etc/acpi/actions:
#!/bin/sh
VT=`/usr/bin/fgconsole`
/usr/bin/chvt 1
/bin/sync
/sbin/hwclock --systohc
/sbin/rmmod ehci_hcd
/sbin/ifdown eth0
/sbin/rmmod ipw2100
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
/sbin/hwclock --hctosys
/usr/bin/chvt $VT
/sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd
/sbin/modprobe ipw2100
It sleeps just fine, however, trying to wake it up is where I start
losing joy. The display doesn't come back up (so I hit ctrl+alt+f1,
login as root, and reboot the box)
So I appended acpi_sleep=s3_bios to the kernel, and tried to see if that
might work - no joy, it kernel paniced!
Anyone got sleep working on the Thinkpad R51? Thanks

Root login issues
by Shahzad Chohan
Hi,
This is just a question about the length of time it takes to log in as
root on some servers. Basically some of our servers run kerberos
authentication while others do local, however in all cases the root
password is in the shadow's file. The problem I have is that on some
servers it takes a very log time to log into the root account. After
typing the root password it takes more than 30 seconds before it
eventually logs in. However, when I scp or ssh to the server as root it
logs in fine and instantly.
I'd appreciate any help if possible.
Thanks
Shahzad
