ipchains
by Manu Abraham
Hi,
I know this is off the topic, but the ipchains-devel rpm seems to be missing
the libiptc.h, libipq.h headers..

some questions regarding FC3t2 release notes
by Robert P. J. Day
(repost of what was sent to anaconda list since it mostly involved
installation.)
reading the FC3t2 release notes, some curiosities:
1) "The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken up
by Fedora Core 2.91 Test 2 after the installation is complete. However,
additional disk space is required during the installation to support the
installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of
/Fedora/base/stage2.img (on CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the files in
/var/lib/rpm on the installed system."
this suggests that the stage2.img file is copied to the hard drive during the
installation, so that makes sense. but i don't understand why the stuff under
/var/lib/rpm would be considered an "additional" space requirement above and
beyond the regular install. it's all still there after the installation is
complete.
can someone clarify why the contents of /var/lib/rpm would be considered an
"additional" space requirement?
2) i could have sworn that someone posted that SELinux was disabled by default
during the install, but during my install, it was definitely activated, and i
had to manually turn it off.
3) "Memory testing may be performed prior to installing Fedora Core by entering
memtest86 at the boot: prompt. This causes the Memtest86 standalone memory
testing software to run. Memtest86 memory testing continues until the Esc key
is pressed."
"NOTE: You must boot from CD-ROM 1 (or a rescue CD-ROM) in order to use this
feature."
um ... i'm pretty sure memtest is also part of boot.iso and diskboot.img, no?
the way the above is worded is a bit misleading.
4) regarding space required for installation:
"... Minimum for graphical: 192MB ..."
"... However, due to the necessity of containing the installer image in RAM,
only systems with more than 128MB of RAM (or systems booted from CD-ROM 1,
which contains the installer image) can use the graphical installer."
and the correct minimum value would be ... ?
more later as i keep reading.

Upgrading From Intel x86 To Athlon 64
by Robert L Cochran
I'm almost ready to attempt booting my new Athlon 64 3500+ system. This
is on an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard. I've been using Fedora Core
2 (x86 version) on my old Intel system and want to move it onto the new
motherboard and upgrade to Fedora Core 2 (x86_64 version). Has anyone
done this? Will it work?
The motherboard has 4 SATA connectors, and I'm thinking of getting an
PATA-to-SATA adapter and using the SATA1 connector for the Fedora Core
drive. Will using SATA cause problems at installation time?
Thanks

SysVinit unpack error?
by Robert Wilkens
Greetings,
Last night I installed Fedora Core 3 Test 2 with a "minimal installation". This included no GUI or most of the standard tools. I updated the basic set of tools to get me a Gnome Desktop installed with up2date command-line.
Anyway, Now that it's installed, many packages, such as evolution, want to install SysVinit.. Specifically, SysVinit-2.85.33.i386.rpm .. When I try to install that (ignoring GPG Keys, because NONE of them work for me), I get an unpack error, specifically, "There was a RPM unpack error installing the package: SysVinit-2.85.33". This prevents a number of libraries and applications from installing.
Is this a known issue on this list? At Red-Hat?
Thanks,
Rob Wilkens

FC3test1: X / display hangs after overnight inactivity
by Banibrata Dutta
Hi,
Anybody has noticed the problem of Xserver (or display driver) hanging
in FC3-test1 ? I've filed a bug in bugzilla # 132968 (
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132968 ).
pciscan reports the display adaptor as:
pci bus 0x000 cardnum 0x02 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2572
Intel Corp. 82865G Integrated Graphics Device
to summarize here's the problem:
if i leave the Xserver running (WM being either GNOME / KDE based)
overnight, 9/10 time i'd find that the display as hung, i.e. a thin
raster band (in 16/256 colors) at the bottom of the screen. in this
state CTRL-BACKSPACE, ALT-CTRL-Fn or even ALT-CTRL-DEL doesn't work,
basically i cannot do anything using the console keyboard. if i telnet
into this system from some other system, i am allowed in, after which
if i try killing all X processes including gdm etc., the status
doesn't change, i.e. the raster band stays and keyboard remains
non-responsive. i've tried switching to runlevel 3, stopping X and
going back to runlevel 5, without any good. only option left at this
point is to reboot the system, or poweroff & poweron.
thanks & regards,
banibrata dutta.

ALSA drivers - Intel HD Audio
by Mister Ribbit
I have the new Intel HD Audio on board my Intel D915GEV motherboard,
and I'm trying to get it working. I think I can do it if I compile
the driver that Intel supplies on their web page, but they say that
the driver has been handed off to the ALSA project, and I've found it
in the alsa-driver 1.0.6 package (but not 1.0.5). I was wondering if
FC3 would ship with an updated kernel to have the 1.0.6 driver (or the
new 1.0.6a) so that it would be working straight out of the box in the
future. Or, maybe you are on that set of drivers, and somehow have
lost the azx driver for this hardware.
Thanks!
Ciao!

Problem with USB flashdisk (used to work) and kernel dump on reboot
by Erich Hoover
I'm getting some problems after all the recent development updates.
1) My usb flashdisk will no longer mount (it works in other computers
and it used to work before the updates), it reports:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
or too many mounted file systems
2) When I try to reboot the kernel gets all the way shutdown until the
very final reboot operation and then it dumps - is there a way I can get
a log from this? It looks like all logging has been disabled by the
time the kernel gets to this point (especially since it's already
unmounted by hard drive).
Running on an ASUS SK8N w/ an FX-53 under x86-64 mode. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

I downgraded glibc and that seemed to fix the Unknown user issue.
