FC3 wont install on a Dell PE750 with sata hd
by Ron Moore
I have tried to install FC3 on a Dell PE750 with CERC raid controller, 2
sata drives in raid 1 config. When I get to disk druid partition
selection either of auto or manual partitioning causes a complete lockup
and a high pitched squeal. FC3 installed fine on a Dell PE2500 with
scsi drives.

FC2 to FC3 upgrade exits abnormally
by Rick Lim
I'm trying to upgrade a working FC2 to FC3, having got past the first error
where the harddisk geometry was read wrong by using the parted update, I get
to the point where it starts to begin the install and then I get
warning: package kernel = 2.6.9-1.667 was already added. Replacing with
kernel = 2.6.9-1.667
install exited abnormally.
Any suggestions?

Hmm ... I have not tried connecting directly to my speakers. I plugged a
walkman into the line-in jack on my sound blaster card and it worked
fine so I just assumed that wasn't the problem. I will try that tho. How
would I go about debugging there? Is there any options to debug with
xawtv? If so, what would I look for?
Yes, I do have that setup where an external cable that runs into the
sound card. I do not have the DV card.

PS2 Keyboard and mouse dead in FC3 on Dell Precision 530
by J. Epperson
Sent this last night, but my registration was apparently not complete
and it did not go to the list (not in archive, anyway)>
The i get an error when booting FC3 on a Dell Precision 530 ("i8042.c:
Can't read CTR while initializing i8042"). The keyboard and mouse are
then "dead" from there on--can't press a key and trigger kudzu before
the timeout, can't type a username/password on the X11 login screen,
etc. Odd, since they both worked fine all the way through a graphical
install, just not with the resulting kernel config. Reading suggests
apci/apic problem in i8042.c code, I've tried the suggested noapic and
noacpi kernel line parms, but nothing's working. I did include SELinux
in "warn" mode in the install, FWIW.
Installed FC1, and everything worked ok. Will try FC1-->FC3 upgrade
tonight. Suggestions welcome.

vuescan loads gimp on save-to-file
by Glen Staufer
I'm using vuescan with a film scanner. When I save a scan in either
single-scan or batch-scan mode, the image files get saved, but Gimp
always starts up and loads the image file after its been saved. I'm
at a loss as to what is causing this to happen.

I've tried to install OpenOffice in rh7.3. New versions of OO requieres
glibc at least 2.3.3 while in rh7.3 there is glibc 2.3.2 and OO refused to
install.

FC3 stable enough for production web server?
by Jeff McKeon
Hey all,
Have a need for a new linux/appache web server at work and was
considering using Fedora Core 3.
We need to run Apache,PHP,MySQL,Qmail on it. I've never played with the
Fedora line before, just RH9 and RHES2.1.
Is FC3 stable enough to run a php website in a production site?
Thanks,
Jeff

Usb dvd on FC1 and FC3 but not FC2
by Rodolfo Alcazar Portillo
Hi. I have a USB DVD Sony DRX-510UL. When I plug it in a FC1 (IBM)
server, it gets recognized instantly. When I plug it on my FC3 PC, the
same. But when I connect it to my FC2 Compaq server, does not work.
I tried:
yum update (boots ok, with v2.6.9, but no dvd)
modprobe usb-storage (ok, but no dvd)
modprobe [euo]hci-usb (one by one, all ok, but no dvd)
What else should I try?
Thanks!

Problems with ISO
by CLAUDIO NAOTO
Hi,
I download the FC3 ISOs, used md5sum in files, burned the CDs but the
installer detected problems with disks 2, 3 and 4. After burn more CDs
and have the same problem again, I looked in google and discovered
that this problem can be corrected using "-DAO" option. Could someone
document this in the home page?
Thanks,
