Part of hard disk disappeared after installing Fedora 12?
by M. Fioretti
Greetings,
I just put a spare disk I had into the computer and installed Fedora 12
x86_64 on it. Installation went fine (I just told anaconda to install a
basic desktop and accepted all defaults) except that I seem to be missing
some space from the disk. What I mean is that the disk is 350 GB and was
divided in several partitions from an earlier Fedora install.
My assumption was that anaconda would keep those partitions and install on
the one labeled as /
Now it seems there is only a swap and a / partition, which could be OK,
except that (unless I'm too sleepy right now to think clearly) there are
some 100 GB missing: / is ~250 GB and there are partitions "without a
partition table". I would like to understand if those partitions are some
of the old ones and in such case how to access them. I do have backups of
everything, but I would like to figure out which partitions are those. I
have pasted below
the outputs of fdisk -l and mount. Please don't hesitate to suggest more
commands, ask more information etc..
Thanks in advance for any feedback,
Marco

HP DL360 G6 ILLEGAL OPCODE
by Andrew Hall
Just installed Fedora 12 on an HP DL360 G6 which went on fine.
But as soon as I attempt to boot the OS - at the point GRUB stage 1
should load - I get a red screen with an illegal opcode.
Try to install again - all fine.
Reboot again - illegal opcode.
Is anyone else seeing this with HP hardware ?
Thanks.

Re: HP DL360 G6 ILLEGAL OPCODE
by Andrew Hall
It's fixed - and here's how.
The servers are running nehalem chips with banks of memory per chip.
To run in advanced ecc mode required sticks of memory fanning out in
channels identified alphabetically - A, B, C and so forth.
It seems when the server was shipped they'd put one of the sticks in
the wrong slot.
Once all were set correctly the OS booted just fine.
So whoever said check how the memory is seated in an earlier response
thanks very much !
And thanks to all others for their advice also of course.

Creating a VPN with network connection wizard
by Mark Ryden
Hello,
I try to connect to a VPN using the network connection wizard of Feodra 12.
(System->Preference->Network Connections).
I select the "VPN" tab.
I press "Add" and choose PPTP.
I enter what is needed and created a VPN connection named VPN1.
I press apply when finished and everything is OK. The dialog is closed.
Now how can I activate this VPN connection ?
Rgs,
Mark

VLC + Screensaver
by Julian Weißgerber
Hi all,
since VLC is such a popular player I wonder whether anybody besides me is
suffering from it no longer being able to suppress the screensaver from
starting? Using Fedora 12 with Gnome desktop.
Regards.

F11 -> F12 preupgrade error
by Dimitar Georgievski
Hi,
I've tried to upgrade without success from F11 to F12 using preupgrade tool.
Before running preupgrade I updated the system with yum update
The preupgrade-cli produced the errors listed at the bottom of this email.
At this point I am not sure how to fix them. Anyone familiar with them?
Thanks,
Dimitar
