What happened to the it821x IDE/PCI Raid driver?
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
In the 2.6.10 series of kernels, Alan Cox' IT821x PCI/IDE-RAID driver
was included in the kernel as a module. In 2.6.11 kernels, the module
disappeared and the device is not recognized by the kernel.
Researching some via Google and various kernel sites implied that the
driver was rendered irrelevant by some changes to the main IDE driver,
but the failure to be recognized seems to indicate that something has
actually happened.
I realize Alan is going on sabattical, but has anyone picked up the
it821x driver? Or is there some magic kernal parameter incantation
that will let FC3 and upward use this popular card?
Thanks for the attention.

Physical location of Posix message queues
by William Beebe
I'm porting an application from Solaris to Fedora Core. Everything is
fine except for one issue regarding the use of Posix message queues.
In order to solve this problem I'd like to know where the message
queues are physically located. Where on Fedora Core (or Linux for that
matter) are the message queues located? I've tried just looking on the
file system and I've tried looking in the code for a Clue (both the
kernel and glibc). If someone could just tell me, or if there are
pointers to other documentation explaining some of the finer details
of Posix message queue implementation on Linux I'd appreciate it.

PPC boot.iso broken today?
by Matthias Saou
Hi,
I just started a network install of FC Devel on a PowerMac, and it all
went amazingly good, but I got missing packages because the mirror I was
using had been updating while I went through the installer... so I had to
grab the newer boot.iso, re-burn it to the same CD-RW, but now it stops
after 3 "agpgart:" and 1 "Serial:" lines very early at boot time :-(
I'll try downloading the latest FC test disc1 and install from there...

libgtkembedmoz.so
by Alan Milligan
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
My locally built mozilla-*1.7.7-1.3.1.i386.rpm suite seems to not
contain libgtkembedmoz.so.
Is that to be expected? Has it been deprecated?
I'm experimenting with gnophone and although the desktop client doesn't
need it, I'm assuming with this plugin, I can use Mozilla to run up
gnophone as a plugin.
gnophone itself looks a little old as well - am I way off track on using
this as a telephony desktop client??

Fedora 3 kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and nfsroot problem for PXE/diskless (CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y)
by Nico Bdav
hi all,
im trying to setup a diskless environnement with Fedora.
I use etherboot (as a bootable CDROM) to load linux kernel via PXE.
I have a dhcp, nfs and a tftp server working properly.
I have rebuild a 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 fedora kernel because latest 2.6.11
kernel series can't be build on my FC3.
I have rebuild a kernel (as an rpm, or via make bzImage), with the
NFSROOT option, to allow / mounting via NFS
pxelinux.0 boot normaly, load the kernel and the initrd, but when the
kernel try to moun the / partition, i obtain a kernel panic message:
VFS: Cannont open root device "nfs" or unknow-block(0,255)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknow-block(0,255)
After that, i have tried many other options in the linux kernel (using
devfs instead udev, yes i know it's obsolete :)), and some other tips i
found but no one worked. Note that on the NFS Server i don't see any
packet using the NFS protocol.
Is there some special configuration with Fedora kernels and nfsroot option ?
Thanks for your suggest
¤ Here is my pxelinux.cfg/default file :
kernel FC3_PXE/vmlinuz
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 root=/dev/ram0 nfsroot=192.168.1.14:/DOC/PXE/root
or
APPEND initrd=FC3_PXE/initrd.img ramdisk_size=10000 root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.1.14:/DOC/PXE/root
¤ Here is the main kernel option needed (if i don't miss one!) and that
i have in my kernel:
grep -i "IP_PNP\|NFS\|RAMFS"
/DOC/PXE/root/boot/config-2.6.10-1.770_FC3nscheibl.20050525
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=""
CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y

filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0";
option root-path "192.168.1.14:/DOC/PXE/root,v3,tcp,hard";
host PXED {
hardware ethernet 00:48:54:XX:YY:ZZ ;

specfile, request for comments
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi,
Attached you will find a specfile about the ocaml-cryptokit package.
I'm not very clever on specfile :-), so may be you would have some
comments... It was initially from PLD
http://ftp.nest.pld-linux.org/test/SRPMS/ocaml-cryptokit-1.2-1.src.rpm
My doubts are about:
- the calling of "make" ( the CFLAGS...)
- the %{_docdir} was %{_examplesdir} but I had to change it because it
seems not to begin with a "/", so it fails because of that.

Re: What happened to pup?
by James Sylvester
Yesterday, at about this time, I flawlessly installed 5 CDs
containining a week old distro of Fedora Core 3.9, aka Fedora Core 4
test 3. Having installed Red Hat from 7.1 to 9 and Fedora 1, 2, 3, I
thought the install was flawless until I tried to use Redhat Package
Manager, up2date and then yum to update the many changes that occur
in development in a week and a half's time.
RPM up2date hung on the second panel, yum could get to extras but
not to the development rpm repo at redhat or its mirrors. I being
a user of some experience and a supporter of Fedora could see a
potential enterprise user or newbie becoming real distressed. If
Fedora Core 4 is released without better update resource managers,
then we will not obtain the kudos that I believe F4 deserves.
After 2 hours of frustration I began downloading single pkg updates,
each time muttering, where's pup?
Today, in a more refreshed mood, I looked at my dog Spot, who
gleefully chases snakes, but had been unable to help, yesterday.
The problem? A missing python library effecting both up2date and
yum. Spot's to old to obtain a pup, but I am not.
The need for a reliable "pup" may not become a part of Fedora 4 (due
to devlp. time), but the need is sufficient enough to not have it
relegated to extras.
Many good ideas on the forum. Need core developer leadership on
this one.
Cheers to what I believe may be the best Fedora distro, yet. James
Sylvester
