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> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

[Bug 187080] New: RELNOTES - Summarize the release note suggestion/content

Please do not reply directly to this email.

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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

It blocks the master release note tracker bug, and *all* bugs for FC6 release notes (before and after release) should block this bug.

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: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136665 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

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." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 197554] New: RELNOTES - Encrypted swap and non-root filesystem support

by Red Hat Bugzilla

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197554 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 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
