RE: FC3 SMP builds do NOT contain ext3 drivers in the build!!!!
by Fred Skrotzki
no I have not gone to bugzilla as I wanted a second confirmation first.
The boot image for smp does not have the drivers included. I was about to build a new boot image and see if that solves the problem.
Single proc code boots and works just great.
Also I need to get used to the changes as I've jumped from RH 8 up (current box) to FC3 so attempting to understand all the changes.
Rebuilding a kernel is not a issue for me except for the time. Remember the 6.x days of doing it a lot for ipchains firewall patches, etc.

Maybe I'm missing something here but, examining the kernel source code
(the configurations are in the spec file), both the single processor and
SMP kernel builds contain the same ext3 support.
What makes you think that this is the problem?
If, in fact, there is something wrong in the configs which I cannot see,
you could easily rebuild the kernel.
Have you filed a Bugzilla?

Drive was low level formatted and verified before and after 3 builds. It boots and works fine under single proc. I even build it on another drive just to be sure.

since this is the default filesystem its very unlikely thats your
problem is related to missing drivers. make sure your hard disk isnt

RE: FC3: kernel panic on first boot
by Fred Skrotzki
Having same problem with SCSI drives. It is because the bootable SMP kernel builds do NOT contain the ext3 drivers by default. Serious build mistake.

Subject: FC3: kernel panic on first boot
Hi,
First some system details:
Epox EP-D3VA motherboard
dual 1Ghz PIII processors
1.5GB RAM
2 x Promise SATA150 TX4 controllers
6 x Maxtor Maxline II 250GB SATA HDDs (3 per controller)
The drives are all partitioned identically with two partitions: 1.5GB +
248.5GB. The partitions are configured in raid arrays as follows:
/dev/md0: /dev/sd[ad]1 / (root filesystem)
/dev/md1: /dev/sd[be]1 swap
/dev/md2: /dev/sd[cf]1 swap
/dev/md5: /dev/sd[abcdef]2 lvm2 volume
/home, /usr, and /var are mounted as lvm2 logical volumnes on the
/dev/md5 array.
I was running FC2. I then decided to upgrade to FC3.
I booted from the DVD (the media check completed OK) and went through
the system upgrade.
All seemed to go well and I rebooted.
However, the boot process halted with the following message:
Loading ext3.ko module
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.

Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock
mount: error 22 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
This is with the default 2.6.9-1.667smp kernel.
I booted into rescue mode and chrooted into the upgraded system - all
seems fine, i.e. all the filesystems are OK.
I then upgraded all the packages using "yum upgrade" within the chroot
environment. This installed kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp.
I rebooted and got the same error as above. I also tried "downgrading"
to a 2.6.8 kernel but got the same error.
Am I hitting the known bug [1] with SATA drives in the 2.6.9 kernel ? Or
is this some other problem?
[1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140367
Can anyone shed any light on this problem?
Thanks,
R.

postfix alias problem
by Bill Matthews
I am running Postfix on Fedora FC3. I have a pretty large alias
table. If the alias table is small, it works fine. Meaning it builds
the alias database, and delivers mail correctly based on the alias
table.
But when I supply a large number of aliases (>1000), it seems to build
the alias database fine (no errors), and postfix seems to be running
fine, but it just ignore the aliases.
I'm not sure if this is a size limit, or a problem with one of my
aliases? But its copied directly from a sendmail server, where it
works. Anything I should look for? Any way to debug?
Thx,
BM

RH8 ==> FC3 that's not a jump, that's a quantum leap in some ways.
I've several machines running SMP, but I've to this point always made upgrades
with every version. Also I'm trying to recall... when was ext3 introduced?
Can you do a fresh install on this or identical hardware? Review the install
logs for something strange happening (mkinitrd), maybe you just need to
rebuild the initrd image.

I guess I was wondering if I might need to set up a DNS server or if I can get it done with iptables and ip addresses.

KDE fail to start after reboot - FIXED
by Randy
Hello,
I had the strangest problem after I applied the most recent batch of
updates and rebooted. KDE would get stuck while starting, never giving me
a usable desktop, and tell me to check if dcopserver was running.
I went through google and tried a number of solutions. It turned out
to be related to the 'iceauth' program, not dcopserver. There were THREE
files in my home directory, '.ICEauthority', '.ICEauthority_c' and
'ICEauthority_l'. Deleting the last two made it possible to start kde
again. If anyone else runs into this after applying updates, I wanted to
save them some time. :-)
