RE: Kernel 2.6.10 Can't Open Initial Console on FC3
by Joseph D. Wagner
RESOLVED.
I enabled support for hotplug devices and installed an initrd; then it works.
They tell me there's a way to make it work without initrd, but it's ugly, messy, and not recommended:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/
I haven't yet tested to see if it works with initrd and without support for hotplug devices, but from the documentation I've read my money is on no.

Installing FC3 alongside another distro
by Andy Elvey
Hi everyone -
I'm a first-timer here and have a question about installing FC3
alongside another distro.
At the moment, I'm running Mepis Linux, and I'm keen to install FC3 as
well.
What I'm wondering is - if I try to install FC3, will it overwrite
the current bootloader, or will the FC3 bootloader just "append" itself
to what's already there? ( I believe Mepis uses the Grub bootloader).
At the moment, I have Grub in the master boot-record. So, if I put
FC3's bootloader elsewhere, will it still be possible for me to access
both distros?
Very many thanks for your time and comments!

monitor remote rpm database
by Nikhil
Hi All ,
Happy Holidays :)
I want to know how can I monitor remote machines rpm database , so
that when ever a user on that machine installs a new rpm on the
system, thinking that I have root access to the remote machine .
when I tried to search in install.log which is in /root directory , it
is created only when te distribution is installed and thereby not
updated ,
Where is the path of the rpm database (gdbm) files that rpm maintains
and how do I read them ( what could be the keys to read the gdbm
files) and from them generate the reports and send a mail to root or a
groupmail.
Regards,
Nikhil.

kernel-2.6.10-1.1056_FC4 solves lockup and acpi shutdown problem
by Jim Cornette
I just installed kernel-2.6.10-1.1056_FC4 and the related newer
packages from rawhide to try and reduce or eliminate kernel panic and
not shutting down the system past the acpi_power_off portions. Both
issues are resolved for an hp ze4315us computer anyway.
I would not post devel topics here if it was not to help those resolve
current FC3 shortcomings.
Hapy New Year!
