We had this problem with the gaim->pidgin change a while back as well.
i386 is trying to replace x86_64 and is clearly wrong.

F7: What or who is changing my PCM volume?
by Jurgen Kramer
With F7 my volume settings for the PCM controls are always at 50% after
a fresh bootup and login to Gnome. Changing the PCM volume controls to
my preferred level and saving them with alsactl does not help. What
(application) can be the cause of this? I could find any culprit
checking the scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d.

Prevent /u from showing up on users desktops in F7
by Darryl
How do I prevent filesystems/folders from showing up on user's gnome
desktops? I have /u being mounted out of /etc/fstab at boot time but do
not want it on the user desktop. Other filesystems such as /var and
/boot are somehow excluded so there must be some kind of configuration
file to adjust this behavior but I can't seem to locate it :-(.

Back Again
by Karl Larsen
I am back from running Umbutu which failed to live up to it's press
releases. It does have all my wanted applications and apt-get install
works faster than yum install. I guess there storage computer is closer.
The major problem is X Windows. I tried several ways to focus the
screen but nothing worked. And it was too bright. Also I was able to get
the VLC media player but no way to get the codex lib so it worked. Also
it takes over the computer.
So back to F7 and while some things do not work perhaps in a while they
will. At least the screen looks real nice.

Vivek,
Thanks again for the comments and corrections that you have supplied. I will correct rc.local from
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
# martian configuration
/sbin/modprobe martian_dev
/sbin/alsactl restore
[root@localhost ~]#
to
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local

FC7 yum upgrade
by Catalin Bucur
Hello,
I have made an upgrade with yum from FC6 to FC7 on a i686 system with
IDE drives. Everything worked ok, but I realized after upgrade that in
/etc/fstab I had /dev/hdX entries instead of LABELs. After reboot I got
the message:
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root/'
Setting up other filesystems
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init.
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
At that point I have tried to make all the modifications necessary to
boot again with this kernel. Now, the situation looks like:
-> fdisk
/dev/sda1 1 126 1012063+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda2 127 2228 16884314+ 83 Linux
-> blkid
/dev/sda2: LABEL="Cata" UUID="ebfbf39f-558d-4d30-b143-9e581bf41f77"
SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda1: TYPE="swap" LABEL="swap"
-> /etc/fstab
LABEL=Cata / ext3 defaults 1 1
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0
-> /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=7
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=LABEL=Cata
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
-> /boot/grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
-> I have made another initrd file /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
which had the folowing entries:
resume LABEL=swap
echo Creating root device.
mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro sda2
echo Mounting root filesystem.
mount /sysroot
echo Setting up other filesystems.
setuproot
echo Switching to new root and running init.
switchroot
-> at the boot time I saw that ata_piix driver loaded ok:
<7>ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: version 2.10ac1
<7>PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.1 to 64
<6>ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x000101f0 ctl 0x000103f6 bmdma
0x0001f000 irq 14
<6>scsi0 : ata_piix
I even tried to upgrade the system again with FC7 DVD, it was installed
the kernel, made his initrd, but no success at reboot. With FC7 rescue
cd it is booting ok, so I do not understand what is the problem with his
kernel from distribution (which is the default - 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7).
Thank you for your time,
