Wierd Anaconda
by Jim Bevier
I am doing an upgrade from FC6 to FC7 on an ASUS M2N-PLUS-SLI x86_64 X2
motherboard. It has two PATA drives and two SATA drives. On FC6 PATAs were
hda & hdb, SATAs were sda & sdb. On rawhide on the same machine, PATAs are
sda & sdb, SATAs are sdc & sdd. Now when I boot from the x86_64 install
DVD, I select upgrade of the FC6 system. Anaconda has it as sdc6? If I
proceed , I get three errors saying: "Unable to mount filesystem". " An
error occurred mounting device hda3 as /winxp. You may continue
installation, but there may be problems." I get one each for "hda3 as
/winxp", "hda5 as /win2k", and "hda7 as /spare". These are FAT32
filesystems. I selected continue each time. The last error is" "Error
enabling swap device hda2. No such file or directory. The /etc/fstab on
your upgrade partition does no reference a valid swap partition." The only
choice was to reboot!! It seems to me it would be more appropriate for
Anaconda to allow the user to at least point them to the correct
drive/partition. An update cannot be completed without further manual
intervention. A normal user would be dead in the water at this point.
To get around this error I modified the /etc/fstab file to use LABEL=SWAP1
to use the rawhide swap partition, which was already labeled. This is sure
making it hard for a person to upgrade a system.
Once I was updating, things went smooth until I was asked to install a new
boot loader. I knew it was on the first PATA drive (hd0), that was hda on
FC6, sda on rawhide, and sdc on Anaconda??? I guessed to let it install on
sdc and rebooted. There I find the system now has the PATAs at sda & sdb,
and SATAs at sdc & sdd. Why does Anaconda see the drives backward of
everybody else?
To not get the upgrade errors, a user would have to label the swap area and
change the fstab file to mount by label. Know that Anaconda was going to
reverse the drives during the update and modify the FAT32 partition entries
in the fstab file to use sdc2, sdc5, and sdc7. And then edit the fstab file
again after update, before booting to point at sda2, sda5, and sda7! Now,
did I get this half-assed update method correct??

Issues updating from update repo on Fedora7
by Peter Robinson
Hi All,
When Fedora 7 hit the streets I moved from rawhide across to the
release by installing the fedora-release package. Now when I do a "yum
update" it comes back with no updates. I enabled the updates-testing
repo and all is fin with that but I'm not getting any released
updates. yum can see them
EG:
[root@localhost ~]# yum list pidgin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Installed Packages
pidgin.i386 2:2.0.0-0.34.beta7deve installed
Available Packages
pidgin.i386 2.0.1-1.fc7 updates
but it comes back with a all up to date.
[root@localhost ~]# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
[root@localhost ~]#
I'm done a "yum clean all" to no avail. Its rather annoying. Any
ideas/suggestions?

cfs test kernels for FC6/7
by drago01
Hello,
I was testing the new cfs scheduler [1] in the past few weeks and has
found this site:
http://linux-dev.qc.ec.gc.ca/
there are prebuilt kernels for FC6/F7 (F7 kernels should also work on
rawhide) with the cfs scheduler patched in. If anyone wants to play with
new stuff he can go ahead and test them and share the results. CFS
should make it into mainline in 2.6.23.
Your system should fell more responsive under load when using this kernels.

Live x86_64 burning issues
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
This live CD image is too big for a CD but Nero refused to burn it to a
DVD. I had to burn it with Linux, which wasn't so picky.
If it doesn't fit on a CD it should be authored for a DVD not CD.
And as long as it's being burned to a DVD there could be more
stuff on it, particularly wine and thunderbird and perhaps Cinelerra
and VLC ...
The x86_64 install DVD should include Pan, Thunderbird and Wine, at least
as options.
