Plextor DVD problems
by Angelo Machils
Hello there!
I have exchanged my Sony DVD reader with a Plextor PX-116A and also
installed a Plextor PX-716A DVD writer. When I put a burned DVD into
either one of these drives they show up on the desktop, but when I open
them, they are seen as empty (blank) disks. I can however mount them
manually as my normal user and go to the mountpoint in a terminal. Only
there I can see the contents of the disk.
Other times I can't even mount the disk at all. All this only happens
with DVD's, not CD's.
My /etc/fstab entries are:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0
I'm running Gnome on FC3 x86-64, fully updated.
Kind regards, Angelo

CD's play, sound test works, no JIB JAB (wah!)
by Douglas Frank
Being basically just a naive user, I sorta just expected Firefox to play
sounds along with the video from www.jibjab.com... silly me. FC3
detects the sound card and plays the 3 test sounds just fine, so I'm
kinda stumped why Firefox is so silent.

Compiling ftape modules
by Stephen Childress
Dear Fedora List,
I posted a couple of weeks ago regarding my attempts to get ftape
working on Fedora Core 3, since it no longer comes as a pre-compiled kernel
module. The suggestion at that time was to follow the directions in the
release notes for compiling modules. I've finally gotten back to working on
this project. Actually I had stumbled on the release notes before I posted
but wasn't sure how to apply them to the task at hand. Here is the question
I have. Quoting from the release notes,
quote(( "For example, to build the foo.ko module, create the following file
(named Makefile) in the directory containing the foo.c file:
obj-m := foo.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
Issue the make command to build the foo.ko module." )) #end quote
Now, there are three modules that I need, ftape.ko, zftape.ko, and
zft-compressor.ko. The source files for these are in three directories
under the drivers tree: lowlevel, zftape, and compressor. Each directory
has several .c and .h files as well as a Makefile, but there is no file
named ftape.c, zftape.c, or zft_compressor.c. The object module is created
by linking several files together. So my question is, what do I substitute
for "foo.o" in the above makefile? My strategy is going to be 1) Copy all
.c and .h files to a temp directory. 2) Create Makefile as above. 3)
make. 4) Copy *.ko modules to appropriate directory in /lib/modules.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give, and perhaps it is apparent
that I need a little more handholding than someone who writes their own
makefiles before breakfast. I guess I'm also a little peeved that as a user
I have to go through this, since the floppy tape hardware used to be
well-supported under Red Hat and Fedora releases. Thanks in advance.

That looks right to me too.
Then from gmail's point of view, it may be a problem with them as
well. Of course then it goes back to the earlier point that was
started a month ago... when people complained because someone
suggested going to a forum format. People were complaining that they
didn't want to open a browser and go to a forum site to read messages,
they wanted to continue to get messages in their mailbox.
I guess no matter what happens, someone is not going to be happy, but
hey, what can we do?
Anyhow, back to the root topic of this thread, before we all forget
why this started... the idea here is to come up with a core set of
things that would be nice for new list members to know about.

Re: Install completed but boot failure
by Roger Lin
OK, here is the output for reinstall grub:
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the content of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script 'grub-install'.
# this device map was generated by anaconda
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
I have no idea if this right or wrong, so I try to reboot the system,
same thing, here is the last 3 lines on the screen after a few
minutes:
Verifying DMI Pool Data ..............
Boot from CD :
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Any ideas, please? Here is the email from Nelson:
before grub is found i don't think so... grub is the very first thing
that should be started, wrigth after some hardware!! sorry but i
don't know to much about this and i don't want to give you a wrong
answer. But i think before grub there's nothing. only after that you
can have some sort of output...
regards,
nelson
I believe he is right, the machine may not be able to find the MBR?
How should I check that? Please help!
Thanks a lot,
Roger
