Bind Caching Only Name Server
by Rahul Tidke
Hello,
Can anybody tell me step by step procedure to configure caching only
name server for my local network. Following packages are installed on
the Fedora Core 6 server. I want this server to work as primary DNS for
my network. I always find it very confusing configuring BIND.
bind-libs-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6
bind-chroot-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6
bind-utils-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6
bind-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6
caching-nameserver-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6
Thank you.

RAID issues
by Jeffrey Ross
I've been successfully running RAID1 since the Fedora 7 days on this system.
This morning I processed the new "updates" on the system (Fedora 9 x86_64),
since one of the updates was a new kernel I rebooted the machine (first
time in about a month which may be a clue to other software updates!)
At this point the system does not reboot and fails with the RAID partitions.
Specifically I get to the point in the bootup "Waiting for driver
initialization" and then it follows with
md: md6 stopped.
mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md6
md: md3 stopped.
mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md3
trying to resume from /dev/md3
Creating root device.
Mounting root filesystem.
EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: Invalid argument
/dev/md6 is root
/dev/md1 is /boot
/dev/md3 is swap
/dev/md2 is /var
/dev/md5 is /usr
/dev/md7 is /home
The RAID partitions are all partition type 0xfd (raid-autodetect)
If I boot the rescue CD, it will automatically identify my RAID partitions
and mount them as /mnt/sysimage.
I have tried removing my /etc/mdadm.conf to allow it to automatically find
the devices but no change.
After some searching I found two bugzillas that seem to be appropriate but
I am still unable to boot the system. The links are:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447818
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444237
I have tried recreating the section in /etc/rc.sysinit:'
#RAID SETUP
update_boot_stage RCraid
if [ -f /etc/mdadm.conf ]; then
/sbin/mdadm -A -s --auto=yes
fi
but again no luck. I then tried the new mdadm package that's available in
the testing repo but that didn't help either.
My /etc/mdadm.conf file lists the raid volumes by their UUID number, which
I have verified is correct, plus it has been working for sometime including
previous reloads.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

b43 not working with latest kernel 2.6.25.9-76
by Andrea
I cannot connect anymore to my AP with a
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
With the new kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686
The previous kernel was ok (2.6.25.6-55).
The Centrino Wireless ipw2100 works in both cases.
What happens is that I get over and over the dialog box of the WPA password.

Problem was a DHCP lease in an ISP provided router/firewall on our
boundary that we set to 6 minutes.
Per RFC, what normally happens when a lease expires? I would think that
the host would ask for another IP and be back up on the net.

Installed Fedora 9 yesterday
15 years, 11 months
Re: One at a time.
by garys@email.com
Hello everybody,
I am under fedora nine and I have two problems. One with the
scanner and the second with the firewire. Here is the first.
My scanner does not work and I don't know how to get out of it. I
have install the last version of iscan and iscan plugin to no
avail except for the sixty-two erreur messages at boot time .
The scanner is an epson v100 which worked great under fedora 8.
With sane-find-scanner I get this:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012d [EPSON
Scanner]) at libusb:001:005
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
And with scanimage -L absolutely no joy.
Could somebody please get me out of this mess.
Thanks a lot.
I'm not on 9 but - check to see if you've got xsane
installed............gary
