Modem problems
by Ender Konukoglu
I have installed Fedora Core 2 in my hp ze 4400 laptop last week.
However I have a problem with the modem. The os does not recognize my
modem and can't find any modem in the computer? I have tried Suse
before that and there was no problem in finding the modem. Have
anybody had a similar problem? Or any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks a lot.

Dual Boot XP/FC2 Install Problem
by Richard Heldmann
I am trying to install FC2 on a Dell Dimension 8300, with a Seagate Model ST3120026AS SATA 120Gb hard drive. The controller is an Intel 82801ED Ultra ATA Storage Controller. I have repartioned the drive with Partition Magic and formatted the last 20Gb as ext2. There are no errors on either partition and the machine boots into XP normally. Upon starting the installation with the known geometry,
boot: linux hda=14589,255,63
I get the following error message:
hda: IRQ probe failed
hda: no response
hda:non-IDE drive, CHS=14589,255,63
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda Invalid Geometry: 255 Physical heads?
ide-default: hda: Failed to register the driver with ide.c
Kernel panic: ide: default attach failed.
The machine is of course locked up.
Help appreciated.

Printing from GIMP
by Julien Olivier
Hi list.
I've got an HP PSC 2175 all-in-one printer. It's automatically
detected/setup by kudzu and system-config-printer.
The only problem is that, in GIMP, it's configured by default as a
Postscript printer. The result, when I try to print, is a very long
sequel of pages full of ascii codes... Not quite pretty.
Finally, I found out that I could setup my printer through GIMP by
choosing a printer model (other than Postscript). The problem here is
that the printer list is different from the list in system-config-
printer, and my printer doesn't show up in the list.
Now, selecting a different model from mine results in bad quality
printing, but at least it prints something...
So, my questions are:
- Isn't possible to have kudzu/system-config-printer automatically
setup GIMP's printer as well (not default to postscript) ?
- Why is GIMP's printers list different (and shorter) than system-
config-printer's list ? And which model should I choose when I have an
HP PSC 2175 printer ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

ATI drivers for Laptop
by Martijn Bronkhorst
Hello,
I'm not sure if i am saying this right, but i'm trying to configure a ATI
128 mobility video card while using fedora core 2. The drivers for linux
that ati offers did not do the trick.
I really need to get this working, because I need an external monitor now
first before I ever see the display right. And on a laptop, this isn't very
nice.
If you can help me out, please do.
Thanx in Advance

network
by Nina Pham
I just installed FC2 and configured network. However, I can not ping
anything except localhost, nor rlogin to the system from my pc. How do I
check if my FC2 system actually is able to access to the internet?

network install
by Simon Tierney
Thanks for replying about my installation problem on the mashita dvd multi drive.
I have broadband but I have never successfully installed over a network connection.
It makes sense to me that the installation of Fedora2 is stalling due to lack of a driver because this is a new laptop.
Can someone give me a URL and some instructions how to do a network install after booting to the CDROM?
Thanks for any help.

USB Flash Disk + data not sync'ed during unload
by Ow Mun Heng
Guys,
this is causing data curruption. I'm using Gnome + FC2 and wondering
why the act of umounting the drive does not call the "sync" before it's
marked as unmounted?
Right now, what I see happening is that, when you click on the Unmount
VOlume icon, the icon will straight away gets changed to the unmounted
status, but data is only starting to get sync'ed. And I've unknowingly
just pulled out the disk before it fully sync's.
This is not good.
I think I might have fried a 64MB key not too long ago due to this.

Installing/storing on a USB external drive
by Ken Wolman
Problem: I had been able to install "standard" Red Hat on a somewhat
aging Celeron with a 10GB hard drive to which I added a Maxtor 40GB USB
2.0 external drive. Partition Magic "liked" the external, too. It
seems that whatever I'm doing wrong, Fedora 2 will not recognize that
there is a USB 2.0 disk.
I'd cleared about 125 MB on the original disk for /boot storage with the
intention of loaded the other material on the USB disk. No such luck if
Fedora can't seem to find the drive.
What am I not doing that I should be doing?
Many thanks.
