Hello all,
Got two problems with my new install of F7.
I am using kernel-xen-2.6.20-2925.13.fc7. Problem: I *don't* want to use
Xen, I want to use the other kernel on my machine:
kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7
How do I fix that? Why did it do that on install?
You can press Enter at GRUB's boot prompt, and select the other kernel.
To make the default change permanent, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf, and change
the default= setting. The first menu entry in Grub's boot menu is default=0,
the second menu entry is default=1, and so on. Set default accordingly. Take
care editing the grub.conf file, an accidental typo may have rather
unfortunate results.
Second, a program called "prelink" pegs my CPU. Is it
necessary, and if
not, how do I turn it off besides doing a kill -9 on it?
That shouldn't happen. Run 'rpm -e prelink', but this should really be
investigated further. prelink shouldn't be hogging the CPU, like that.
Before nuking prelink, wait for eat to start eating the CPU, find its pid,
then do "ls /proc/$PID/fd". Wait a few seconds, and do it again. See if
there are any changes. You might have a corrupted binary somewhere that
prelink is choking on. Prelinking is good, you want to try to keep it
around.
