Summary: Pentium is said to be supported, but the build is for i686 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525287 Summary: Pentium is said to be supported, but the build is for i686 Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: i586 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: low Component: release-notes AssignedTo: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: goeran(a)uddeborg.se QAContact: kwade(a)redhat.com CC: eric(a)christensenplace.us, wb8rcr(a)arrl.net Classification: Fedora The release notes for F12, at least the Swedish PO file I'm currently translating, has a message #. Tag: para #: HardwareOverview.xml:65 #, no-c-format msgid "" "The following CPU specifications are stated in terms of Intel processors. " "Other processors, such as those from AMD, Cyrix, and VIA that are compatible " "with and equivalent to the following Intel processors, may also be used with " "Fedora. Fedora &PRODVER; requires an Intel Pentium or better processor, and " "is optimized for Pentium 4 and later processors." But rawhide is built for i686, which I thought translated to Pentium 4. So I didn't think a "plain" Pentium was supported any longer. Have I confused the meaning of these i?86 numbers, or is it a bug in the release notes? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

It's sufficiently complex that I'm not sure we can confidently put it into nice convenient 'minimum' and 'recommended' boxes. I think we can say bare minimum for i386 is 128MB and x86-64 is 256MB (I believe that's what we already say), but it would be best to be very clear that in some cases even this will not be enough. 'Recommended' is a fairly unclear word. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 524505] minimum RAM is too big and not explained well enough

Indeed the link you reference above is a beat location for the Release Notes, so I'm changing the componet to RN.

fedora_requires_release_note cancelled: [Bug 523015] hp printer setup impossible due to selinux-policy
by Red Hat Bugzilla 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Product: Fedora Version: 11 Component: hal-cups-utils Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> has cancelled fedora_requires_release_note: Bug 523015: hp printer setup impossible due to selinux-policy https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523015 ------- Additional Comments from Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> please don't set the release_note and common bugs flags for your personal issues without some kind of confirmation there's a general issue here sufficiently serious to merit inclusion in release notes or common bugs pages. The report does not seem to be at that point. cleaning up the report... this looks like this Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/347839 we don't have a hal-cups-utils package late enough to include the fix mentioned there, I believe. not sure about whether the s-c-p fix is in F11's s-c-p. assigning to hal-cups-utils. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

fedora_requires_release_note granted: [Bug 517491] Anaconda fails if filesystem should be shrunk
by Red Hat Bugzilla 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: anaconda David Cantrell <dcantrell(a)redhat.com> has granted fedora_requires_release_note: Bug 517491: Anaconda fails if filesystem should be shrunk https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517491 ------- Additional Comments from David Cantrell <dcantrell(a)redhat.com> I'd like to address this bug in rawhide, which means at this point it's a bit too late for Fedora 12. However, I'd like to add something to the release notes explaining what this problem is. "Format failed: 4" means the filesystem resize operation failed because the errors discovered on the filesystem were not able to be automatically corrected. The installer does not try to force correction of these errors, as that could lead to data loss. Instead, you should boot in to rescue mode or another operating system and see what the problem with the filesystem is.
