I've beed able to set up two FC3's with a single grub, but what I'd really
like to do is set up a second grub and have the first chainload to the
second. (I want to play with custom kernels) on the second.
I have two ide's, hda and hdb. My first fc3 is on hda. I tried installing
the second fd3 with /boot on hdb1 and / on hdb2. I told anaconda to put the
second grub on the mbr and used the advanced bootloader screen to reorder
the drives so it would write it to hdb instead of hda.
After installing, I went to my first grub.conf and added
title Second Fedora
rootnoveriy (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
But when I reboot and select Second Fedora, I get Error 12 invalid or
unsupported executable format. What did I do wrong? What's the right way to
set this up?

I use Fedora Core 3, and I installed all the updated rpm's.
I use a kernel 2.6.12-rc3-RT-V0.7.46-02 (Ingo Molnar's patch)

MPlayer
by Mehdi Ben Saïd
I have problems installing MPlayer on Fedora Core.
It asks me to install glibc-devel (GTK libraries) which are already
installed!!!!
By the way there's no package installator as in Redhat 9.

RE: Fedora, ALSA and MIDI OH MY! (Theme to lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!)
by Dan Thurman
Thanks for responding!
Yes, I have tried Timidity. It does not work. Timidity has core
dumped (segmentation fault) a couple times. I think the problem is
at a lower level -- involving the devices - it appears to be something
that is not activating the midi hardware interface or so I think.
Kind regards,
Dan

Have you tried timidity? I have played midi files using that. The
current timidity is in this rpm:
timidity++-2.13.0-3
If you don't have it you can get it using yum.

Adding a new printer in FC2
by Deboo ^
What do I need to to in order to add a new printer under fedora. And
how to add it by editing the config files, rather than the gui, so
that I could understand the behind-the-curtain things that happen.

Won't boot to X after install
by neidorff
Hi folks,
This is about a fresh install of FC3 that won't boot into X to
complete the install (post install steps).
The system:
1.8 GHz Athlon XP
ASUS A7V333 mb
1 Gig ram
Buslogic 958 SCSI controller
18 Gig SCSI drive (seagate)
NVIDIA graphics 64Mb (I forgot which chip it is, but it is AGP 4X)
Downloaded & verified the FC3 CDs. Booted CD 1 and tested all media.
All passed. Then, installed onto a clean HDD. I selected my packages
(custom install) and install proceeded without problem. At the end of
the install, it asked me to reboot. I did. The system came up to the
point of a grey screen with a large mouse pointer. No desktop loaded.
I checked the consoles and they showed no errors. I created 3
partitions: 1--boot (500Mb) 2--home (10Gig) 3--/ (7.5Gig or so). I
can mount these partitions from my RH 7.3 installation, and it shows
that none of them filled up.
Will someone please help me fix this system so that it can boot and I
can configure it?
Many thanks,
Mark

Crond and /var/log/messages
by David Fischer (DHL US)
Question,
I am currently getting crond success msgs in the var/log/messages file
every hour and would like to quiet it a little but it appears that the
only way to do this is to edit the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file on the
pam_succeed_if line but this file is regenerated any time authconfig is
ran. Does anyone have a syslog.conf solution that would drop these
messages into the var/log/crond file instead?
thanks

Error message on start up
by Chris& Karen Morgan
Can someone help me by explaining how I can overcome the following error message:-
Could not look up internet address for x1-6-00-11-2f-35-38-bf.
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly.
It may be possible to correct the problem by adding
x1-6-00-11-2f-35-38-bf to the file /etc/hosts.
It's my first day using Fedora and i'm totally new to Linux.
Thanks,
Chris

How can I complete a nearly finished but interrupted FC3 install?
by Stanley A. Klein
I tried to install FC3 on a new machine using CD's that I had used
successfully before.
With about 95% of the packages installed, the screen froze while
installing from CD3. After restarting the system, I tried to resume the
install using the "update" function but that expects a completed
installation. I then did the media check and CD3 failed it. CD2 also
failed, although it had completed its part of the installation.
I looked at the system with the rescue function and it looks like most
of the important packages are there. (I will have to update everything
anyway.) However, it is missing the configuration steps that are done
after the packages are installed, like setting up Grub, setting up X,
and so forth.
Right now, the system won't boot into Linux because the install wasn't
finished.
Is there any way I can complete the install without starting all over
with a new set of disks?
