I'm having trouble booting from the CD
by Tyler
Hello everyone. I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me
with. When I try to boot my Fedora CD I get this message
ISOLINUX 2.06 2003-08-22 isolinux: disk error 01, AX = 4293, 9F
I have no idea what it means or what to do. Any help that someone could
give me would be appreciated.

Hi Jerry,
I looked at your IP to see what kind of router you had.
It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed:
Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited
gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865
Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30
So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22
for you.

FC3 and 440GX
by Alex F. Evonosky
Anyone know why FC3 is not working on an Intel 440GX anymore? FC1 did
not work, yet FC2 did (and PERFECTLY); yet FC3 is doing the same thing
FC1 did..
Detects the AIC 7xxx SCSI drives, then hangs... Basically states "no
hard drives found"; when FC2 is actually on the drives.

Re: FC3 mediacheck

I think this comment was from Satish about ide=nodma. Why is that
necessary? I've encountered the mediacheck failures similarly for the
first time ever. If the drive operates normally, why do we need nodma
in order to check only disk2 and disk3 of the CD set?
I'm not intending this as disrespectful to anyone; I'm truly curious
about it. Out of the four install images, all four pass the MD5
checksum test, and two out of four pass the mediacheck. On my CD
writer, cdrecord reports that the buffer was always adequately filled
and burnfree protection was never needed. So assuming the integrity of
the media is OK (seems to be, since cdrecord reports no errors and the
CD is readable), I'd suspect a problem with the original ISO image.
Whether you use DMA or not on your drive doesn't seem to have any
bearing on things....else other I/O would have trouble too.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
I know the proccess has been covered to death in this list, but has anyone
taken the time to write a tutorial explaining how to install the ATI
drivers (the ones for Radeon and up) from the ATI website?

FC3 and ATI Digital video
by Gene Czarcinski
I am having problem when I use digital (DVI) versus analog video.
The hardware:
ASUS SK8V motherboard with an Opteron 140 and 2GB ram. The video is an ATI
9100 with both digital and analog video output (radeon driver). The monitor
is a Dell 2000FP (LCD) which can handle both analog and digital (DVI) input
selectable on the monitor. The is also a Belkin Omnicube 4 port KVM.
When I first started using the ASUS/Opteron system in my setup, I found that I
could not use the analog video through the KVM ... the ASUS BIOS "overdrove"
the monitor and it cut out. However, FC1 did work OK for both install and
running using this analog configuration.
My solution to the problem was to not use the analog/KVM setup but instead to
connect the monitor to the ATI 9100 using the digital (DVI) interface and
then use the selection on the monitor to switch to DVI input when I selected
that ASUS/Opteron. This worked fine with FC1 and FC2 (both i386 and x86_64).
I skipped this round of testing so my first exposure to FC3 was the final
release. I first installed it on another system and that went fine. I then
tried installing on the ASUS/Opteron ... oops, black screen and then the
monitor went into powersave mode (turned off). After several tries, I gave
up and did a text everything install. Install and bootup ... oops, X fails
to start again. OK, reboot and come up in non-X (3). I ran
system-config-display from another system via ssh and everything looked like
it configured properly but X did not display.
After some fooling around, I switch to using the analog/KVM setup instead of
the digital (DVI) setup. That worked fine. With this setup I also then
installed the x86_64 FC3 and it worked fine too.
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139023
I noticed some laptops are also having problems and wonder if that problem is
related.
Question: Is anyone using digital (DVI) video, an ATI video card and the
radeon driver? Does it work? IS anyone having problems?

The executable for fstab-sync is in /usr/sbin which is not typically on
your path unless you are logged in as root. You can get rpm to show you
where the various parts of a package such as hal are installed:
rpm -qil hal
As far as your question about correctly mounting the zip drive, check
out the following URL. It doesn't address exactly your issue, but it
should get you pointed in the right direction.
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-November/msg00984.html
That combined with the section of the output from 'lshal' pertinent to
your zip drive should give an idea of what needs to happen.

OpenSSH and Chroot Support
by Ow Mun Heng
I saw a project (patches) on the net that has chroot capability for
SSH. I have a gentoo system which has this capability (I've not tested
it, but it's a few lines of patch)
I'm wondering if this is available for Fedora? I would like my Fc2
server to have this capability. That way, public_html is all that the
logged in user can get to.
And I wonder if it would have the same affect to sftp:///, which would
be a very good alternative to ftp.
