Re: f10dvd installs but won't boot

----
craig responded
you probably did - reading through your e-mails is very tough because
you continue to use HTML format which really makes it hard to decipher
everything.
I don't know that scsi would have any special requirements but I was
wondering what the differences would be from Fedora 5 and Fedora 10 and
I suppose that you could compare /etc/modprobe.conf from the 2
installations. It sort of sounds like there is a problem with your
initrd but I can't tell.
-----
jbyers:
html? my apologies, i had no idea.
I guess i need some info in gmail how not to do that.
in my gmail setting
Outgoing message encoding:
Use default text encoding for outgoing messages <<selected
Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages
nothing here explicitly HTML
i will try the utf-8
I dont know how to decipher initrd problems.
I know how to unpack an initrd.img and examine init
and make minor changes and repack.
I have used mkinitrd on my fc5 to add in usb_storage
I will look into comparing modprobe.conf f10 vs fc5,
but i am really trying to divorce the f10 install from fc5,
and fc5 modprobe syntax,etc might be wrong for f10?
------
craig:
At this point, having rhgb and quiet removed from grub boot options
should give you a fair amount of information at startup and I probably
wouldn't be using scsi_mod.scan=sync at this point because that seems to
be more of a tuning thing but I don't know what it actually would do.
jbyers:
well, my experience was that using scsi_mod.scan=sync
was necessary to get me beyond "cant find /dev/root" errors.
It is easy enough to retry without scsi_mod.scan=sync
in combination with rhgb and quiet removed, so will do that next.
However, f10 commonproblems( or release notes)
seemed pretty clear that it was necessary.
Evidently fixed in mkinitrd-6.0.71-3.fc10,
but my f10dvd version is i think mkinitrd-6.0.71.fc10.
craig:
you could always append 'acpi=off' as a kernel parameter but that is a
rather drastic measure, you didn't seem to need it in order to install
F10 so I would want to look at the debugging info on the startup screen
for more information at this point.
jbyers:
yes, altho i think the screen went blank on me, after getting
to .. Xserver so it is difficult to see much.
Will try acpi-off also
thanks for your continuing response

Fedora 11 Preview- ATI fglrx install reboot crash

Hope I am doing this right. Installed Fedora Preview 11 (which looks amazing
by the way) and installed the RPM Fusion Drivers for ATI. After config and
reboot, crashes with several messages like

How to use gpg-agent
by Steven W. Orr
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I just started using gpg2 and saw that the gpg-agent needed to be run. I
added use-agent to my gpg.conf and also added
#! /bin/bash
eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"
to ~/.kde/AutoStart and it seems to work fine. What I don't understand is
the whole concept of caching passphrases.
1. How do I control how long a passphrase is cached before it decides it
wants me to be re-asked?
2. Can I preload a passphrase when I log in? I know all about the
security issues; I just want to know how to do it.
TIA

No modules get loaded
by Mick M.
Hello;
I have F10, the two latest kernels.
I did a "insmod pvrusb2, and a depmod pvrusb2", under both kernels.
Now I do not have any modulles loaded at boot.
modprobe.conf is empty.
Any ideas?

F10 - pulseaudio not running
by Mike Fleetwood
Hi,
On my work Fedora 10 desktop (upgraded directly from F8) pulseaudio
doesn't run and I don't know how to fix it. On my home Fedora 10
desktop (upgraded to F9 then F10) pulseaudio runs OK. As a workaround
I have run "chmod o+rw /dev/snd/*" to allow Audacious audio player as
non-root user access to ALSA kernel audio devices to be able to play
music. Help troubleshooting pulseaudio appreciated.
Attempting to start pulseaudio manually ...
[mfleetwo@mfleetwo3 ~]$ pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.

Thanks.
In the end i renamed all of .kde and rebooted. digikam is now working.
As i don't use kde per se (and hadn't until now got a working digikam)
I'm happy to let the contents of .kde get regenerated as needed.

Not getting clean shutdowns for FireFox and Epiphany
by Bill Case
Hi;
How do I set up rc6 or whatever, so that I get a clean shutdown for
FireFox and Epiphany?
FireFox is started by my session manager and I often use Epiphany -b as
a specialized bookmark editor on my panel. Whenever I login to start a
new session FireFox and Epiphany gives a standard warning/option of
restoring my previous session. I want to eliminate those warnings
without having to specifically close those programs before logging out.

"Blinking lights of death" ? Netgear Switch GS108
by Aldo Foot
I have this Netgear Switch GS108 that has apparently failed. Before I
buy a new one I'd
like to know whether this is known issue with this type of unit or
Netgear hardware in
general. This unit I have is an 8-port switch.
I perused some reading here and there and they point out to faulty
capacitors in the
unit. The fault causes what they call "Blinking lights of death", that
is, all lights blink on
and off repeatedly. Unplugging the unit and plugging it back in unit
does nothing.
Any network hardware experts know about this?
TIA,
