problem booting F13 kernel
by Craig White
I did a yum update because I was struggling with installing from the
installation CD's and everything seemed to go well.
But when I booted I got an error - something like...
kernel panic - VFS Error - can't mount filesystem hd(0,0) which should
be /boot
The F12 kernel still boots though and the kernel parameters for my F12 &
F13 kernels are essentially the same. I also have re-run grub-install
but to no avail.
This was...
May 31 13:39:23 Installed: kernel-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686
So I removed the kernel and re-installed and it downloaded a newer
version of the kernel...
May 31 16:16:55 Installed: kernel-2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686
Still the same problem. The only way I can boot is to choose the one F12
kernel still installed on this system...
2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686
This is an Athlon processor, does that matter?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Saving VLC snapshots
by Anne Wilson
Can someone tell me how to tame VLC so that snapshots are always saved to a
specific folder? Currently it seems to use a random destination.
Please cc me with any answer, as I don't seem to be getting the list messages
even though my mailman page says that receiving is enabled.

Thanks Phil,
That works. Odd, I don't remember having to do that before.
Unfortunately it doesn't fix the boot problem. yes, the kvm is made, but
the VM's still refuse to boot.
Clearly I am the only person seeing this boot failure as otherwise
theere would be load screams. Does anyone else see the VM look up gPXE
before grub gets called? That also is new and may be releated my
failure?

DVD Installer on USB...?
by Christopher A Williams
I love the speed of the USB installer from the Live CD...!
But I would also like to stop using so many DVDs for, well everything.
USB drives are much more convenient, portable, durable, and reusable.
My ideal scenario would be able to put the DVD installer ISO onto a
bootable USB stick as well - specifically for the portability USB drives
give over DVDs, and also because USB sticks are basically a lot faster
and easily re-used once I'm done with the install. I mean, do you use
the install DVD for anything else once you've done the install?
Again - this would not be a Live image. It would be the DVD installer
itself running from a USB drive for the specific purpose of doing
exactly what the DVD installer does now.
I've tried to figure out how to do this a couple of releases back, was
unsuccessful after about 30 minutes - OK, so I gave up pretty fast.. :)
- and went back to just burning the DVD. But I'm still interested in
having this as an option and I'd bet I'm not alone.
Anyone have a how-to/magic incantation to do this? Could we eventually
make this an option for Fedora installers too?
Cheers,
Chris

Not all kernels show up in Grub boot menu
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello Everyone,
I have the following in "/etc/grub.conf": installonly_limit=3
Consequently, when I ran "yum update" earlier, a new kernel was installed,
bringing my total to three. Here is my "grub.conf":
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
# initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64.img
The problem is that only the second and third listed kernels appear in the
Grub boot menu.
I looked a little bit on Google and I did not find this issue mentioned.

Re: Fedora 13 Upgrade Going Badly
by philbrog
I ran the command "/usr/bin/strace /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty" and I get lots
of output, but the only way to get it to you is for me to re-type the
output. Are there specific messages you're looking for, or do you need all
the output?

Community Gaming session 5 - bzflag
by Bruno Wolff III
There will be another Fedora Community Gaming session this weekend.
We will be playing bzflag which is a light tank shoot em up.
We will be starting at:
UTC: 1700 Saturday June 5, 2010
EDT: 1pm Saturday June 5, 2010
This game easily handles drop ins and drop outs.
We'll meet pregame in the #fedora-games IRC channel. We'll use the in-game
chat once we get started and I'll have Fedora Talk set up for those that
want to use that in addition. (It's hard to chat while playing without
getting killed.)
New players will definitely are welcome. I can help a little, but still haven't
played a lot myself.
A bit more information is at

Who sees massive flickering?
by Tom Horsley
Just curious if this is a bug or what. On two different
systems now running fedora 13 and firefox the webcam
image on this one site flickers horribly as I scroll
the firefox page up and down with the mouse. (Both
systems use the radeon driver with ATI cards).
http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/fla/ballpark/webcam.jsp
Pick Interior Panorama view.
Wait for image to load.
Use scroll wheel on mouse to drag the firefox page
up and down.
I can't figure out what it is about that page. I've
visited lots of other sites without noticing the
same kind of flickering of images.
Anyone else see the horrible flickering on this page?
Anyone using radeon driver that doesn't flicker?
(I'm pretty sure this is new with the move to fedora 13,
I don't think I saw it on fedora 12 - not that bad anyway).
