Howto upgrade from FC10 > FC11
by Jim
I ran Preupgrade on a X86_64 from FC10 > FC11, it was a flawless upgrade.
And then I did a Preupgrade on a FC10 > FC11 i386 box following the
Fedora instructions and it turn into a nightmare.
It upgraded all the packages from FC10 > FC11 except for the kernel,
after the completion of upgrade I end up with a FC10 boot kernel and
FC11 packages.
And it crashed on reboot.
I'm thinking of upgrading another i386 box from FC10 > FC11, but this
time after doing a "yum clean all" I'm thinking of just upgrading to the
fedora-release.fc11.i386.rpm's and doing a update .
Is this a good or bad ideal ??

Cannot upgrade to F11: /usr/tmp is not a symbolic link???
by Dan Hensley
I'm trying to upgrade my Fedora 9 system to Fedora 11 from DVD, but
right after I identify my partition, it gives me an error saying
that /usr/tmp is not a symbolic link, so please reset it to its original
state.
The problem is, /usr/tmp IS in its original state. It was a symbolic
link pointing to /var/tmp. But I changed it anyway to be a symbolic
link pointing to /tmp instead, and the installer is still complaining.
How do I get past this? I've Googled but have not found any
resolutions--only one other person with a similar question, but no
answer.
Thanks,
Dan

Re: Fedora 11 boot fails on md with two HBAs [SOLVED]
by S Murthy Kambhampaty
Switched to dracut, which does not use kernel raid autodetect. Works great, though subject to BZ 513267.
----- Original Message ----
From: S Murthy Kambhampaty <smk_va(a)yahoo.com>
To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com
Sent: Thursday, September 3, 2009 3:52:43 AM
Subject: Fedora 11 boot fails on md with two HBAs
[Fixed typo in header line, etc.; added info at end.]
With Fedora 11 on IBM x3650 M2 (x86_64), I am having problems booting after adding a second, add-in, SAS controller with 12 SAS disks in an external enclosure. Without the add-in SAS controller, the system boots fine and provides file sharing over samba, etc.
The main problem with this machine is that it has an EFI BIOS which appears to bind the external/add-on SAS HBA before the internal one on which the system drives are hosted (they are both LSI SAS 3801e HBAs - the internal one has an IBM part number, while the external one is LSI). Changing the BIOS order in the option ROMs and disabling boot services on the external/add-on HBA does not seem to affect the adapter binding order, and the EFI BIOS does not provide any mechanism for controlling this. Which brings us to the bootup issues.
Note that after booting into rescue mode from the installer image mdadm works as expected, with raid arrays detected and started without any problems on the disks located on both controllers. The md configuration is :
/boot is on /dev/md0 with devices /dev/sd[mn]3, raid1
/root is on /dev/md1 with devices /dev/sd[op]1, raid1
/usr, /var and swap are on an LVM vg on /dev/md2 with devices /dev/sd[m-p]2, raid10
/boot/efi is on /dev/md64 with devices /dev/sd[mn]2, raid1
A separate vg for the data volume is on /dev/md127 with devices /dev/sd[a-l], raid6 (whole disks)
/dev/sd[m-p] are hosted on the internal HBA, and appear as /dev/sd[a-d] when the add-in HBA is disabled. /dev/sd[a-l] hang of the add-in HBA. Note that in rescue mode, the disks start at /dev/sdc, as I'm booting from a virtual console, and /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are assigned to virtual USB disks.
The problem seems to be that during bootup the raid arrays are autodetected rather than using mdadm. If the raid456 module is not included in the initrd image, booting fails with raid6 personality not detected, when the boot process tries to start /dev/md1 incrementally with /dev/sda as its first member. (This appears not to reference /etc/mdadm.conf in the initrd at all.)
If the raid456 module is included in the initrd image (using --with=raid456), booting fails with /dev/sda added incrementally to /dev/md1 and /dev/sdb added incrementally to /dev/md2; it appears autodetect fails because the raid device was built from rescue mode, so the components are listed with different letters in the superblock.
If I put a line in /etc/mdadm.conf in the initird image, to only scan partitioned disks (DEVICE /dev/sd*[1234]), boot hangs after loading the raid modules. (Potentially on the call to mkblkdevs after scsi_wait_scan is rmmod-ed.)
Partitioning /dev/sd[a-l] and setting the partition type to other than 'raid' does not seem to make any difference, during bootup the kernel still tries to assemble the root raid device (/dev/md1) from /dev/sda (though it is on /dev/md[op]1.
This seems to suggest that the md devices are being started by kernel raid autodetection rather than mdadm. Simply switching to mdamd would likely solve the problem, given it works fine in rescue mode. Alternative suggestions are welcome, of course.
Thanks for the help,
Murthy

Fedora compile dependence problem - resolved

Show us more of the output and the full command you entered!
The glibc-common.x86_64 that is installed on your machine is from
updates-testing. The one that Yum tries to pull in is from updates.
Did you forget to enable updates-testing when trying to install qt-devel?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went down that same route also. I had the fedora-updates.repo enabled so I
decieded to enable the fedora-updates-testing.repo. I do not like to do this
but for the installation of one dependency I was hoping it would not cause a
problem. After enabling the testing repo I was able to resolve the dependency.
I have now disabled the fedora-updates-testing.repo and everything is working
fine.
Thanks for all of the suggestions that finally pushed me in the right direction.

Wordpress Permissions For Image Uploads
by Robert L Cochran
I installed the Fedora package of wordpress and promptly created a user
account for myself and tried to upload a photo to my first post. The
upload keeps failing due to permissions problems. Wordpress wants to
upload (via php scripts) to
/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09.
I think I need to change /usr/share/wordpress to allow the user apache
group ownership:
chown -R root.apache /usr/share/wordpress
then give group write and execute permissions for /usr/share/wordpress
and all its subdirectories:
chmod -R g+wx /usr/share/wordpress.
Are there any Wordpress users out there with advice for me about whether
this makes sense?
Thanks
Bob
