Kernel Panic
by Jeffrey Botts
Hello all,
I am installing Fedora Core 1 X86_64 on a new HP Proliant DL145 server. I am installing
plain vanilla from the .iso images from www.linuxiso.org. I am receiving this message
during boot after a successful install of Fedora:
CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004
CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004
Bank 0: b674200000000833 at 000000009be0c840
Kernel Panic: CPU Context Corrupt
In interrupt handler - not syncing
Consequently I receive this on the i386 version on Fedora also. My hardware setup is as
follows: 1 AMD Opteron 1.6Ghz processor, 1 GB Advanced ECC PC2700 RAM, AMD 8131 Chipset,
LSI logic LSI21320-R SCSI controller setup in RAID1 with 2 Maxtor 36 GB Atlas IV hard
drives. I am running memtest86 as I type this without any errors but it is only 44% done.
I can boot by passing "nocme" to the kernel at boot. What do you think the problem may
be? Thank you for your help.

Re: FC1 and Belkin OmniView 4-port switch (Bob Hartung)
by amsm＠iprimus.com.au
Hi,
A few months back, I tried a Belkin 4-port "SOHO" KVM switch in my then setup
of RH 7.3 firewall/gateway machine, RH9 workstation (mostly running X) and
Win2K box.
I found that whenever I switched out to the RH7 or Win2k machines, on return
to the RH9 machine, the mouse was uncontrollable. Apparently it's a known
issue with Belkin switches and X. I tried the various suggestions I found
on the net for making sure all machines used the same protocols etc, but
nothing helped.
I could retain some control if I did a mouse reset each time, but that defeats
the purpose.
I ditched it and used a Comsol, which works brilliantly. Well....I brought
the belkin in to work and swapped the Comsol out...it was only ever used
for text-consoles anyway, so why not ? ;-)
I didn't have the hassles with the video quality or anything, is was just
a demented mouse problem.
I wouldn't touch Belkin gear again with a 10-foot pole.

RealOne palm sync with linux
by Gustavo Matheus Rahal
Hi
I would like to know if there is anyway to mount the SD in a Tungsten E.
I just have windows installed to send the mp3 from RealOne desktop to my
palm. I tried to do a "mount -t auto(and vfat) /dev/sda1 /mnt/palm" but
it didn't work.
Would a card reader do the trick?
Thanks

FC1 and Belkin OmniView 4-port switch
by Karl Hakmiller
All,
I came across a Belkin switch (OmniView) at CompUSA that permits running up to four computers using a single monitor, keyboard, mouse and speaker-set. It sounds like a great space saver - I have an XP Home and an FC1 machine taking up most of the table space in my study - and it would be great to get rid of one of the monitors and such.
But, I'm wondering if any listers have used this switch with a linux machine before I buy it. I don't mind set-up problems if they can be overcome with a little patience and work but I've been burned a couple of times lately with hardware having installation software which is only written for Windows machines.
Any comments would be welcome.

Could the fedora list managers somehow fix the archives so email addresses
aren't machine readable? i've been recieving more and more spam at this

RE: Strange Idle User Listed in who, finger
by Trond Husø
I would suggest you run chkrootkit and some other programs just to see if you
have had someone in your network.
Doesn't have to be the solution, but I would check anyway. And it's always
good to know that you have a clean system.

Tackling a shared USB printer (linux -> WXP) - take 2
by Brion Swanson
Apologies for the last email. (keyboard shortcuts are great unless you hit the
wrong combination)
So, to finish the question:
Configuration:
I have a Canon S630 USB printer attached to a machine running Fedora Core 1
linux. The printer works fine on the linux machine (can print CUPS test page
w/o issue) and using the Printer GUI configuration tool I have enabled sharing
for all hosts on my LAN. I also have SAMBA configured and running and am able
to sucessfully share three directories with a Windows XP machine, a Windows
2000 Pro machine, and a Mac iBook runing OS X. The Mac has no problem printing
full color test pages to the USB printer either.
Problem:
While both Windows boxes can see and install the network printer (only complaint
from Windows is that the driver needs to be installed), neither machine can
successfully send any print job (from any application) to the printer.
Other details:
- I've made sure the print spool (/var/spool/samba) is world-accessible.
- I've enabled the Guest accounts on both Windows boxes and created a guest
account with a simple password on FC1.
- I can run smbclient //centauri/canon_s630 -U Guest from the local machine and
at the smb /> prompt print a file without a problem.
- When attempting to set the printer to a RAW print device, local printing
failed and it did not change networked printing results. Same when changing to
a generic Postscript printer.
- This printer has never been sharable in Windows and I was hoping to use linux
as a print server (as opposed to buying a hardware one) to share it amongst my
three other computers (and any guest computers that may join the network
temporarily)
My /etc/samba/smb.conf looks like:
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = yes
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
use client driver = yes
browseable = no
and I've created a second printer entry that looks identical for [canon_s630]
- All the windows boxes (and Mac machine) can see the linux server (centauri),
but the linux machine cannot resolve any NetBIOS names of the windows machines.
It can, however see them when accessing them by IP directly.
- My Linksys router w/ 4-port switch is acting as my DHCP server. I plan on
changing that to have my linux server be the DNS server as well as the DHCP
server for the LAN. Would this have any effect on printing from Windows?
If I ever get this to work, I'm going to do my damnedest to write the HOWTO on
USB printer sharing from Linux to Windows because this seems like a common
problem but I can't find any good solution resources.
Thank you for all your help! Sorry for the first half-post.
Cheers!

Change log for FC1 kernel RPM builds?
by Martin Stone
Hi,
I see that we have a new build, 2188, of the 2.4.22 kernel RPM. I wonder what's
changed since 2179. What's the canonical source of this information? Anyone know?
Cheers,

Status of FireWire/IEEE1394/SBP2 in FC2?
by D. D. Brierton
Hi Folks,
I'm still running RHL9 here, but since it EOLed on Friday I need to
consider what to move to. One reason I didn't upgrade to FC1 was the
reported problems with FireWire/IEEE1394/SBP2 (I believe that FC1
shipped without FireWire enabled, and in order to use it you had to roll
your own modules, but I may be misremembering).
I see from Fedora News Updates #10
(http://www.fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/issue10.shtml) under "Fedora Core 2
test2 notes" that:
"ieee1394 (Firewire) is not available in current kernels, and
till its re-enabled, making the modules by yourself might be
required (reference:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-March/msg02482.html). If it's causing you grief, remove its reference in /etc/modprobe.conf and rebuild your image (reference: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-April/msg00111.html)."
Is this still the case in FC2t3? Is it likely to also be the case for
the final release of FC3?
I really need FireWire working here, and having to roll my own modules
every time an errata kernel is released sounds like a PITA.
Naturally, this may well be a non-Fedora-specific issue, and so I may
have this problem with whatever 2.6 based distro I choose to upgrade to,
but I would like to know whether FireWire is going to be supported in
FC2 or not.
TIA, Darren
