On my systems, menu length hasn't seemed to matter. Whether it was 4
items or 20, it would have scroll arrows.

"isolinux: disk error 04" while trying to install
by Rakhesh Sasidharan
Hi there,
I'm trying to install Fedora Core 6 to an HP Compaq something machine
(don't remm the exact model etc, it was a friend's machine) and I get
the following error: "isolinux: disk error 04, AX=4280, drive 9F".
I insert the first install CD, it shows me the menu where I can choose
options, I press ENTER, I get the message that says "loading linux",
then "loading initrd", followed by a bunch of dots, and then the whole
thing just waits for upto a minute. Finally I get the error message
above.
I know the CDs are fine coz I've used them to install FC6 on a bunch
of other machines. And I know the CD drive of the machine in question
too is fine coz I have installed other Linuces on it. Maybe its
something to do with the interaction between the FC CD and this
particular CD drive ... dunno.
I'm too lazy to take out the CD drive and try with another one. So I
am wondering if I can install FC6 from a floppy (that machine has a
floppy drive). The install docs don't talk about installing from
floppies ... is that still possible, or do I have to boot through USB?
I wonder why I am getting this error though ... strange.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ suggestions ...
Regards,
Rakhesh

Re: Dual boots (MS Windows and Fedora) with 3 hard disks (2nd post)
by McBroom, Robert C
Looks like you're having a problem with mixing the two disk hardware
types. I've had a similar problem with a mother board that had an early
ide 133 bus in addition to a ide 100 bus. Try using the boot.ini in the
windows 2003 to boot your XP.
Here is a sample I use to boot multiple XP installs. Note the line for
the sdb drive. The quoted phrase is information for use when the boot
loader is active.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP 3sda5
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP 3sdb1
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP 3sda3

[OT] TeXLive 2007
by Michael A. Peters
TeXLive 2007 Has not been officially released yet, but it is getting
very close.
>From the TeXLive list, I'm guessing very early Feb. It seems like it is
mostly frozen and the current test release is only going to be slightly
modified if at all.
As I'm sure most TeX users on this list are aware, teTeX is not being
upstream maintained anymore, what direction Fedora will choose to take I
don't know. But teTeX is virtually the same macro code base as TeXLive
2004 and is thus rather crusty, lot of macros have had signifigant
updates.
In preparation for TeXLive 2007 I've written a small guide for
installing it in FC6 (using a test release). Comments on it, including
the negative kind, are most welcome. It's at the second half of a page
I'm writing for FC6 Thinkpad T20 notes.
Yes, I'm aware of some grammer issues that need fixin' - it still is a
work in progress. But if anything glares "wrong" or "it would be better
done this way" I'd love to hear it.
You can respond off-list -

The (quite un-official) TeXLive 2007 installation procedure:

do, you don't need to allow my site - the JavaScript is minimal and is
not essential)

umount wonkiness
by Ashley M. Kirchner
I don't know if this ties in the string of NFS4 issues I've been
seeing lately, but here's my puzzle for the day:
# mount -t nfs -o rw,hard,itnr storage:/storage /mnt/storage
That works like a charm. I can get into /mnt/storage and dive into
whatever folder I want to on there. Now, let's try to unmount it:
# umount /mnt/storage
umount.nfs: storage:/storage: not found / mounted or server not
reachable
umount.nfs: storage:/storage: not found / mounted or server not
reachable
Um, what gives? I can't unmount it.

Inconsistent behaviour of menus
by Alexander Volovics
If you click on 'Applications', 'Places' or 'System' on the panel
you can, seemingly at random, get:
- the full menu
- a truncated menu with scroll arrows
The same goes when clicking on the menu entries.
I find this behaviour irritating and would very much like to
get the full menu every time.
Does anybody know why this happens and if it is possible to
configure this somewhere?

Suspend Kernel Error (Bug)
by Srikanth Konjarla
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I grabbed the following from dmesg when i tried to "suspend" the laptop.
After booting the laptop, the first suspend was successful. The error
occurs during the second "suspend". System did not crash though, i mean
it was still functional except that the PM (power manager) throws a pop
up saying that the suspend was failed.
Running FC6 (2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Jan 10 18:50:56 EST 2007
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).
Any ideas?
Thanks
