yumex wedges upgrading kernel in /sbin/new-kernel-pkg & friends
by Steve Siegfried
Gang,
I'm looking for suggestions on this one....
Using yumex (yumex-2.0.1-1.fc6) to upgrade the following packages:
> 00:18:12 : Getting : http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/6/i386/kernel-doc-2.6.22.4-...
> 00:18:18 : Getting : http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/6/i386/kernel-2.6.22.4-45.f...

> 00:19:46 : --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
> 00:19:46 : ---> Package kernel-doc.noarch 0:2.6.22.4-45.fc6 set to be updated
> 00:19:46 : ---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.22.4-45.fc6 set to be installed

> 00:19:47 : ---> Package kernel-headers.i386 0:2.6.22.4-45.fc6 set to be updated
> 00:19:47 : Running Transaction
While running the transaction, kernel.i686 0:2.6.22.4-45.fc6 wants to be installed first.
However, the install wedges with the following "ps ax --forest" output:
> 699 ? S 0:09 \_ xterm -geometry 120x100+0+0 #64x64-54+130

Once it hits this point, there's no forward progress and none of the pids listed above
clock any time.
If it matters: "rpm -V mkinitrd" and "rpm -V nash" both say nothing's munged.
> SOS:sos=> rpm -q mkinitrd
> mkinitrd-5.1.19.0.3-1
> SOS:sos=> rpm -V mkinitrd
> SOS:sos=> rpm -q nash
> nash-5.1.19.0.3-1
> SOS:sos=> rpm -V nash
> SOS:sos=>
Yeah.. I know it's trying to write the /boot/initrd-2.6.22.4-45.fc6.img file, but why
is the process hanging?
Any help would be appreciated'idly,

OT: Acrobat Reader needs plugin?
by Mike McCarty
I have some PDFs which Acrobat claims needs the "file open" plugin.
Does anyone know what this is, what it does, and why Acrobat Reader
wants me to get it?
Thanks

ATI/AMD to play nice with graphics and work with Red Hat???
by Dave Stevens
Does Red Hat have anything to say about free driver development with ATI?

The Ontario government will spend around $27 billion on nuclear power between
now and 2025 in a bid to keep the lights on in the province. If history is
any indicator, the nuke plans will be characterized by inefficiencies,
unanticipated delays,and massive cost overruns, but will at least ensure the
certainty that future generations have access to a secure supply of
radioactive waste.

fedora-package-announce checksums
by William Womack
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knows how the checksums in
fedora-package-announce are produced? Can they be used to verify
packages as an alternate to yum/GPG signature check? I thought that
they were sha1, but I must be doing something wrong. (See below)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here a the first few updates I looked at (released September 4th):
I used the first mirror that I found that was actually in sync with
the updates (had the right package names):

I've tried to find some information on the Package Update Release
process in the Fedora Project Wiki, and posted to Fedora Forum, but I
haven't been able to resolve this so far.
Thanks.

kernel panic
by Karl Larsen
I have 2 gb of ram now and when I try to boot the copied Fedora 7 it
errors out this way.
The root is right and the kernel address is right.
Uncompressing Linux is fine
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=swap2)
6 lines of trash and then kernel panic.
I have already loaded a 386 fedora 7 on the computer and it loads
without a problem. So the problem is that the copied version will not
run in the new computer.

using Miro
by kwhiskerz
Thanks, Claude.
I am aware of alternatives and use it to configure Sun Java, although I really
only ever use it for the Firefox Plugin.
I will give the other java a try. It would be interesting.
I wonder why Miro won't work on my system, however? I have xine and all of the
multimedia stuff installed and everything works just fine.

No. What I am saying is that if one changes the label of a partition
and alters fstab, it is also necessary to delete blkid.tab, before booting
the
system.
