aug 9th boot.iso kernel panic
by Jason Dravet
I tried to do an ftp install of the august 9th rawhide and I get a kernel
panic. I think stage2 downloads but I am not sure. During or after the
stage2 download I get blue screens with lines of gargabe text. Something
like 2 screens full of: ASDLKJFA;KLSDJFL;WUW68W4SIEHJTAS;DKLTSJL;DKTAHUS;DG
but with funny characters and various length lines.
If I press Ctrl-Alt-Del I get a black screen with the kernel panic on it.
Here is the little I can provide. There is at least another screen of
information that I can't get:
code: 00 C7 03 00 01 10 00 8B 5D FC C9 C3 55 89 E5 57 89 C7 56 89 D6 53 8B
41 04 89 CB 39 D0 74 17 50 52 68 87 A3 61 C0 E8 D0 04 F4 FF <0F> 0B 1A 00 3C
A3 61 C0 83 C4 0C 8B 06 39 D8 74 13 50 53 68 C1
EIP: [<C04D6515>] __LIST_ADD+0x1f/0x59 SS:ESP 0068:cffc9d2c
The system is a tyan tiger S1832 motherboard (P3 850Mhz) with 256MB of RAM.
It has an adaptec 2930U2 scsi card with 2 scsi hard drives. The network is
an Intel 1000/GT which works great on FC5. Video card is a Number Nine
Revolution IV (32MB) and a SGI 1600SW digital LCD panel.
Thanks,
PS. Is there a way to get the full kernel panic text dumped to a usb thumb
drive? The system does not have a floopy drive and I don't have a second PC
near by to use the serial console.

Upgrade Mesa to latest Mesa-CVS?
by Hans de Goede
Hi all,
A friend of mine has rescently donated me an ati 9800 to test the new
r300 dri driver. I iimmediatly put it in my machine and ran some tests,
after that a filed a number of bugs in xorg's bugzilla and went back to
my trsutworthy 9200. Yesterday I got a reaction to one of the filed bugs
to try the latest CVS because that should have the bug fixed.
So today I tried the latest Mesa CVS on an 9800, and all the bugs I
previously experienced are gone. This bugs are still present in the
latest Fedora mesa packages.
Would it be an idea to update to mesa CVs, or maybe update the r300
driver to CVS if such a piecemeal upgrade is possible?
Regards,
Hans

dmraid adventures and 'challenges'
by Chris Chabot
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if someone was going thru the same dmraid 'challenges'
as me and had figured out a solution to boot the recent (-25xx) kernels,
since i now seem to be unable too (again)
First some historical background.. I've gotten a Dell XPS600 system
about 6 months ago, it comes with all kinds of goodnesses, including
2x250gb serial ata disks in 'hardware assisted' raid0 mode, specifically
with a a nVidia Intel SLI motherboard and its "nVidia Corporation CK804"
serial ata controller / raid.
Before Fedora Core 4.9x, it was impossible to run linux on this machine
since the raid set was not supported but then in the Fedora Core 4.9x
(fc5 test 1 and 2) releases it worked just fine .. no sweat.. insert cd,
sometimes fiddle with configs a little bit, and i was up and running!
Also FC5 seemed to work great out of the box (2054 kernel), sometimes i
hit some great glitches of not booting because of the 'dm-striped device
sizes must be a multiple of chunk-size for 2.6.16 kernels' bug (well
some call it a feature :-)), for a while i was forced to run older
kernels until i figured out how to fix it thru some magical dmsetup and
friends commands
Then came FC5 updates, and the updated kernels didn't work on my dmraid
set .. Turned out some of my problems were caused by the init script in
the initrd images, which wasn't adding the 'dmraid setup' commands, ergo
no root disks, no linux :-)
And for a while now, all the way upto the 2.6.17 24xx kernels, i've been
able to update my kernels by gunzipping / cpio'ing / editing the init
script / packaging it back up into a new initrd.img file ..
However since a week or so (maybe 2 ? i'm not sure), this trick didn't
work anymore .. the good news was that the dmraid setup commands were
now automaticly included in the init script again, however despite their
presence at boot i am now supprised by no error reports, until the
'could not mount the root device' comes up and tells me that this
attempt was an utter failure.
I've diffed the init scripts from my working booting kernel (which is
2.6.17-1.2364 for some obscure historical but unknown to me reason) and
the one in 2517, and there were no differences, so everything should
work right! :-)
Anyone been having the same problems and been able to figure out what
now is making booting impossible? I'd be positively delighted to learn
how to fix it again :-)
Kindest Regards,

FC6T2 flash problems
by Louis Garcia
Just installed FC6 on a pentium4 and is looking good. I did noticed that
macromedia crashes firefox when I look at a page with flash. This is
with selinux on or off. Had to remove the plugin for the time being.

Possibly OT : build deps for extras package depending on core packages
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've just posted to the FE list that the current rawhide update of
gtksourceview includes boo.lang. Is there any way when the buildsys
generates a daily rawhide update list, that packages in extras that
depend explicitly on core packages are also checked to see if they break
anything?
It would certainly help us lil' ol' FE maintainers!
TTFN

EXTRAVERSION ignores "-" when making kernel from src.rpm
by Jay Cliburn
Is there a way to get the "-" included as part of the EXTRAVERSION field
when making a Fedora kernel? If I change EXTRAVERSION = -foo in the
master Makefile, I end up with an rpm named kernel-2.6.15foo. I've
tried escaping the dash, double-quoting the entire EXTRAVERSION field,
and manually setting KERNELVERSION = 2.6.15-foo, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks,

Driver disk questions
by Jay Cliburn
I built my kids a new computer for gaming: Asus M2V, AMD64x2, SATA HDD
(only), et al. I want to dual-boot XP and FC5.x86_64, but the SATA
controller for this motherboard isn't yet supported by the Linux kernel.
I have a one-line patch that adds the correct device ID to the
relevant kernel module, and I'd like to test it and submit it to
kernel.org if only I can get FC5 installed to test it. All I need to do
is replace the FC5 install sata_via driver with my own modified sata_via
driver. I've been wrestling all day with getting a suitable driver disk
(floppy) built, so far without success. I have a few questions.
First, some background:
* I'm doing the build work on an up-to-date rawhide x86_64 machine.
* I've installed kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.src.rpm in $HOME/rpmbuild.
* I'm building the desired module against kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.
1. The kernel module that needs to be modified is /scsi/sata_via.c.
I've built the kernel (mostly; see #4) and thus have the .o and .ko
objects for sata_via, but which one of those I should copy to the driver
disk image, the .o or the .ko? (I've tried both; neither worked,
although I see the driver in the driver picklist during the install.)
2. Is it okay to use the same driver name on the driver disk as the one
I'm trying to replace in the install kernel?
3. Is there some way to build a kernel rpm without having it "make
clean" right up front? If I encounter an error, I'd like the build to
pick up where it left off (at the failed source file), but "make rpm"
always wants to "make clean" and start all over. I issue the make
command from $HOME/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15.x86_64.
4. Can you tell me why this error is occurring? This is what happens
every time at about the 40-minute mark of the build process.
