Intel 910GL Drivers FC5
by Chris Bradford
Hi guys,
I'm trying to run UT2004 on my box. It runs perfectly under Windows XP,
but I keep getting errors under linux.
I have run glxgears, and this seems run very quickly, so I assume OpenGL
is working.
Is there a way I can update the drivers for my graphics card? I've
noticed there are Linux drivers on the Intel site, but the installation
guide is... well... a load of rubbish!
If anyone has this working I'd be grateful to know how.
Cheers,
Chris Bradford

FC5 & IBM xSeries 100
by Jouni Viikari
Hi all,
I have installed FC5 to an brand new IBM xSeries 100 type 8486 server.
On short trials It seems to work almost normally except:
1) On boot I always get following messages on console:
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:01.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:01.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:01.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
2) On short trial the server seems to work quite normally except when I
try to start X. startx (or gdm at runlevel 5) freezes most of the times
(not always) and leaves screen blank and in unusable state. I still can
login to the box through ssh (Server works slowly in this state).
Following gets logged during X crash:
kernel: [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:0a:04.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) ->

kernel: [<c026e461>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x50)
kernel: Disabling IRQ #20
This has happened with every kernel available to FC5 so far.
Since this is a box I promised one person to setup as a linux server and
it has been already sitting here one month unused, I wonder if anybody
knows if it is safe to put it under 'production-use' (If no X is used
and just acting as a pure mail/web server)?
I have tried some boot options (e.g. acpi=off pci=noacpi acpi=noirq, but
on the kernels I tried they did not help).
Added comments on error #186557

fstab problems
by William Steibel
Many thanks to all who responded to my problem. You are a great bunch.
On the advice of several of the list members, I booted in Knoppix. Instead of
letting Knoppix mount the file systems in the default read only, I
manually mounted the root partition in the RW option. That did the trick.
I edited the fstab file back to the way it was before I screwed up, and
everything has returned to normal.

Trouble starting postgresql
by Alan M. Evans
Hello!
On my FC5 server, I wanted to configure postgresql to use
/home/pgsql/data instead of /var/lib/pgsql/data. (/home partition is
huge and doesn't get formatted when system is upgraded or new system
installed.) I created the directory, ran initdb; everything seemed ok.
Research seemed to tell me that I should perform the reconfiguration in
/etc/sysconfig/pgsql. However, I could not start the service when the
new directory was specified there. Much experimentation led me to this:
[root@citadel ~]# rm -f /home/pgsql/pgstartup.log
[root@citadel ~]# cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql2
cp: overwrite `/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql2'? y
[root@citadel ~]# cp /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql
/etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql2
cp: overwrite `/etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql2'? y
[root@citadel ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql
PGDATA=/home/pgsql/data
PGLOG=/home/pgsql/pgstartup.log
[root@citadel ~]# service postgresql start
Starting postgresql service: [FAILED]
[root@citadel ~]# service postgresql2 start
Starting postgresql2 service: [ OK ]
[root@citadel ~]# service postgresql2 stop
Stopping postgresql2 service: [ OK ]
[root@citadel ~]# cat /home/pgsql/pgstartup.log
postmaster cannot access the server configuration file
"/home/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf": Permission denied
LOG: logger shutting down
[root@citadel ~]#
To sum up: I made an exact copy of the server startup script and an
exact copy of my configuration script. The copy starts, but the original
fails.
Obviously, I'm missing something fundamental here. Any help is
appreciated as I am at the end of ideas.

I installed the 5-CD set of Fedora Core 5 and within 5 seconds after I press
Enter on the GRUB menu, it displays these messages:
Booting 'Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)'

Whenever I press any key, it takes me back to the GRUB menu. When I press
Enter from GRUB, it takes me through the error sequence I describe above.
Thanks for your time, I hope you can help.

vmware server beta (free) and xinetd, config problem
by Gregory Machin
Hi
When I run vmware-config.pl i get the following
If you do have "inetd" or "xinetd" installed, make sure that /etc/inetd.conf
or
/etc/xinetd.d exists.
The configuration will continue, but you should re-run
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl after you fix the super-server.
and then it exites
if I try and run vmware It does tells me to run vmware-config.pl
any suggetions ?

Break a mirrored drive on Linux
by Matthew Benjamin
Breaking a mirrored drive
________________________________
Is there a way in Linux to break a mirror, and then use the drive that
was broken for some new partition (example: /home). FC3 and FC4. I am
running out of space and I am finding the RAID 1 is no longer desired.

Can't enable DMA when using IDE devices on SATA controllers
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales
Hi,
I have several IBM desktops and some notebooks in which the IDE interface is a
SATA controller, most of them Intel. Here's lspci output:
-------------
[marcelo.sales@sf002698 ~]$ /sbin/lspci | grep IDE
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FW (ICH6/ICH6W) SATA
Controller (rev 03)
-------------
On these machines, I can't enable DMA on IDE devices. hdparm shows:
-------------
[marcelo.sales@sf002698 ~]$ /sbin/hdparm /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
-------------
When I try to enable DMA, I get:
-------------
[marcelo.sales@sf002698 ~]$ su -c '/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc'
/dev/hdc:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
-------------
I thought this was caused by lack of kernel support for the SATA controller,
but I've compiled the FC kernel and the vanilla kernel several times, with
different settings, and have got no luck on this. libata is built and loaded,
as shown by lsmod:
[marcelo.sales@sf002698 ~]$ /sbin/lsmod | grep libata
libata 58065 1 ata_piix
scsi_mod 129001 3 sg,libata,sd_mod
What needs to be done to enable DMA support? I'm using kernel
2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp.
Thanks,
Marcelo

How come? - re: fedora-package-announce@redhat.com ?
by Bill Case
Hi;
Just wondering. I only have Fedora Core and Extras repositories in my
yum (including develop etc repos). fedora-package-announce has sent me
about 5 announcements about upgrades while yum actually upgraded 11
packages. Shouldn't the numbers match?

Network locking up
by Todd Simi
Hi,
I am finding that I wave to run 'service network restart' every
couple of minutes when downloading most anything. Once I do,
the downloads usually continue as usual. I seem to have picked
this problem up when I upgraded to FC5 from FC4 and changed motherboards,
so I don;t know which caused it.
Mobo is ASUS P5WD2-E Premium w/Pentium D (830)
Net OnBoard Marvell Gigabit
Any ideas if I might just have something setup poorly?
What to check?
Thanks
Todd
