Several Different kernel related (?) problems
by Hans Kristian Rosbach
We have a rack of almost identical Supermicro P4SCE machines.
(differing disks, ram and cpu)
On these we have recently seen the following problems.
1. Screen goes blank during boot menu.
Then there is massive on-screen image corruption until
the fb is reset by init somewhere. In the beginning you
can make out the text, but there are outlined squares all
over the monitor. When more text appears it seems to make
a mess all over the screen.
What kernel: All FC2 kernels, ever since atleast test1
2. One of the computers will not boot on a kernel newer than
kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.358. The following kernels fail with
what seems like ide problems (VERY hard to make out due to bug #1)
kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.435, kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.435.2.3,
kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.494.2.2, kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.427
It seems like one of the disks (2 sata in raid 1) is reported
as failed, an it is rescheduling something. Then it stops.
3. All of our FC2 servers recently (3-4 days ago) stopped serving
http pages to mac computers. I have no idea why, but customers
from all over is complaining that their mac machines cannot
open the webpages. Windows machines on the same net works.
The mac machines has tested IE and newest Safari.
It seems like a FC2 yum update triggered this event, but we have
no idea how and have no way of doing testing as we don't have any
macs.
4. One of our servers is having BIG problems with uneven intervals
recently. The last week it has had problems about 5-6 times I think.
Very (VERY) suddenly the load increases to 700+ and https gets OOM
killed rapidly. Network connectivity is immedeately offline and
console responce is _BAD_. I once waited 5min for a password prompt
before I had to reboot it due to customer complaints.
I saw the 700-900 load climb once when I had let top stay on console.
This has occured only since after Monday.
Hardware info below is from the server that won't boot new kernels, for
more info please ask and I will provide.
Sincerly

Kill ide-tape
by Pete Zaitcev
Guys,
I'm going to ask Arjan to switch off the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE.
The time for it came long ago, in fact I wish it was off in FC2.
I just forgot about that little turd when we went to 2.6.

NFS problems?
by Shahms King
I've got a strange problem here...
We recently upgraded our file server from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 2 and
as a result the NFS mounts which were previously working just fine,
started failing randomly. I submitted bug #130165 to report it, but I
wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing similar problems.
Basically, after the mount succeeds you can use the mount from the
client for a little while but eventually every access to the mount will
return "no such file or directory" including accesses on the mount point
itself. There are almost never any entries in any logs except for an
occasional "nfs_statfs: error = 2" on the client. That's not very
helpful as error 2 is defined as NFSERR_NOENT (file not found).
The really strange part is that just having a shell open on the file
server in the affected directory solves the problem. This happens with
every combination of mount and export options I've tried, over TCP and
UDP. I'd love to use NFSv4 except the every file is owned by root:bin
which makes it unusable (there's a bug about this as well).

Most of what you are trying to do is described in the "Disk Encryption

REQUEST: Network Interface Failover and multi-DNS resolution
by Carlos Rodrigues
I have a box with two ethernet cards, each one connected to a different
local network ("staff" and "students"). Each one of the networks has a
DNS server to resolve internal names.
The problem is: I can only resolve hosts that are on the eth0 connected
LAN ("staff"). To access hosts on the other network I have to use their
IP address directly.
This prompts me to request two features (independent of each other):
1. be able to resolve names using both DNSes;
2. that there be some failover for network connections.
By failover I mean being able to define one interface as "primary". The
primary interface would set the default gateway and all that
global-unique stuff (including resolv.conf, without feature 1.).
When that interface goes down, those global settings are changed to the
ones provided by another active interface. If the primary interface goes
up again, it restores the initial configuration.
This would be very useful for cases such as a laptop with wired and
wireless networking. The "wired" connection would be the primary
interface. The "wireless" connection would take over if the "wired" one
goes down (they may be different networks, e.g. we have a totally open
and untrusted wireless lan and our linux users can't just unplug the
cable and move around, they are forced to restart the interfaces).
Both of these work in windows, FYI.
I guess that feature 1. is not at the distro level, however I don't
really know where uptream to suggest it.
If feature 2. is feasible I could put it in bugzilla, don't really know
under which package though.

encrypted root fs
by Russell Coker
As an experiment I setup a machine with an encrypted root fs.
I have attached the patch for mkinitrd which I used. It is hard-coded for the
device names that I use (/dev/V0/fc2enc for the encrypted LVM volume) because
I couldn't think of a good way of storing this.
For production use this would need a --encrypt-root option or maybe reading
some sort of /etc/crypttab file and deducing that root encryption is needed.
Also with my patch you need to put "--with=dm-crypt --with=aes" on the
mkinitrd command-line.
To create the encrypted device you have to run
"cryptsetup -d /etc/root-key create crypto /dev/V0/fc2enc" to create the
encrypted device and then dd a file system of the same size
to /dev/mapper/crypto.
Finally I've created a statically linked version of cryptsetup for use in the
initrd and named it /usr/bin/cryptsetup.static . I've put the binary on
http://www.coker.com.au/crypt/ as a temporary measure for anyone who wants to
play with it. I'll release my code patches once I get them tidied up a bit.
Currently the statically linked version of cryptsetup is 780K in size. The
libdevmapper code drags in libselinux code which makes it overly large. I
think that perhaps we need to have a statically linked version of the
libdevmapper code without SE Linux support for use in the initrd (the SE
Linux policy is loaded by /sbin/init so there is no possibility of doing any
useful SE Linux stuff from inside the initrd).
I notice that /bin/lvm in the initrd (/sbin/lvm.static on the root fs) is over
1M in size and includes SE Linux code that is of no use in the initrd. Is
the statically linked version of lvm used for anything other than the initrd?
If not then we should just build it with no SE Linux support because once
again it can't do anything productive with SE Linux code in the initrd and it
just wastes space.
Please let me know what you think of these ideas. I would like to get some
feedback before I start filing bugzilla reports.
Finally please don't even think of testing this out on any machine that
contains important data. There are lots of ways that this can go wrong and
lose your data.
The aim of this work is to have a system that boots from removable media and
uses encryption for all block devices so that if it is stolen no data will be
lost and so someone who gets temporary access to the hardware will have a
much more difficult time of trying to crack it.

Hello,
I got one question, is it possible to set up PEAP for Cisco Aironet 4800
wlan card on Linux ? PEAP is developed by Cisco, Microsoft and RSA. I
saw the manual of iwconfig but I didn't see anything containing PEAP.
Thank you in advance,
