Summary: Incorrect instructions to rebuild a fedora kernel
Product: Fedora Core
Version: fc5
Platform: i686
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: normal

Description of problem:
Release notes from
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/release-notes-ISO/#id3092710
Section 8.6 Preparing for Kernel Development
tell me:
Prepare the kernel sources using the commands:
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
The kernel source tree is located in the
${HOME}/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/ directory.
This is not correct for FC5; when following the procedure the directory
.../BUILD/kernel-<version>/ contains:
# ls -p rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.17/
Config.mk linux-2.6.17.i686/ vanilla/ xen/ xen-20060708/
So I assume the kernel "sources" of a version I want to build myself are in one
these subdirectories, but this is different from the current wording of the
release notes.
The box a few lines above "Do Not Build Packages as Super-user" has the
directory (almost) correct:
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/linux-<version>

Summary: RELNOTES - Summarize the release note suggestion/content
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Platform: ppc64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: normal

The release notes stats that IBM pSeries machines, which has the POWER5
processors, are supported - great.
pSeries machines can be used in three ways:
1) Stand alone as a SMP machine.
2) Using Logical Partitions with physical resources like real SCSI disks and
Ethernet.
3) Using Logical Partitions with virtual resources like using ibmvscsi and
ibmveth drivers.
It is not clear in the release notes which modes are supported.
I have just tried virtual resources - failed with unable to read package
metadata, failure with a reference to repodata/comps.xml from anaconda Errno 256
I have just tried with physical resources - hangs loading a DAC960 driver, which
is a RAID SCSI card.
If you clarify which modes and hardware Fedora5 has been tested on, we might
avoid many frustrations in Fedora users.

This is the tracking bug for FC6 release notes. It blocks the master release
note tracker bug, and *all* bugs for FC6 release notes (before and after
release) should block this bug.
This also signals an opportunity to close the equivalent bug from FC5 (bug #168083).

Summary: RELNOTES - Info needed how to burn iso images to CD/DVD

In "Installation-Related Notes" there should be an examples on how to burn ISO
images to media using software available in previous FC releases.
For example:
To burn CD iso image ensure that you have "cdrecord" package installed (you
install cdrecord) and use a command like this:
# cdrecord -v -pad -eject -data FC-5-i386-disc1.iso
To burn DVD iso image ensure that you have "dvd+rw-tools" package installed (yum
install dvd+rw-tools) and use a command like this:
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
Warning:
Do not use cdrecord to burn DVD+R media - this will probably not work:

Actually the text is:
"Fedora Core 4 provided version 8.0 of PostgreSQL. If you upgrade an existing
Fedora system with a PostgreSQL database, you must upgrade the database to
access the data."
To me it's not clear that you have to back up _before_ upgrading. I'd rather prefer:
"The internal data storage format changed in respect to the version provided in
Fedora Core 4, PostgreSQL 8.0. Before upgrading an existing Fedora Core system
with a PostgreSQL database, you must back up the data and then restore it after
the upgrade."

Summary: RELNOTES - Encrypted swap and non-root filesystem
support
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: normal
Component: release-notes
AssignedTo: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org
ReportedBy: mitr(a)redhat.com
QAContact: kwade(a)redhat.com
CC: kwade(a)redhat.com
FC6 provides basic support for encrypted swap partitions and non-root
filesystems. To use it, add entries to /etc/crypttab and reference the
created devices in /etc/fstab.
An example /etc/crypttab entry for a swap partition:
my_swap /dev/hdb1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
This creates an encrypted block device /dev/mapper/my_swap, which can be
referenced in /etc/fstab.
For a filesystem volume:
my_volume /dev/hda5 /etc/volume_key cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
The /etc/volume_key file contains a plaintext encryption key. You can
also specify "none" as the key file name, and the system will ask for
the encryption key during boot.
It is recommended to use LUKS for filesystem volumes:
- Create the encrypted volume using (cryptsetup luksFormat)
- Add the necessary entry to /etc/crypttab
- Set up the volume manually using (cryptsetup luksOpen) or reboot
- Create a filesystem on the encrypted volume
- Set up an /etc/fstab entry
