i386 kernel
by Leonard den Ottolander 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hi, Probably quite late to bring this up, but can anybody explain to me why there is no i386 kernel available on the installation cd's since 8.0? And if this kernel version is considered obsolete (ie no support for machines below i586) then why are updated i386 kernels still released? That seems a little inconsistent.

Regarding the graphical boot and not showing kernel-messages.
by Kent Nyberg 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

While installing the beta i happily thought RedHat put in some sort of patch to the kernel to not print out all those kernel-messages to the screen while booting. When the install finished and i tried to boot the system, i found the system still printing out kernel-messages. The thing is that while installing the system i got some pictures showing up in the installer about (from memory, not sure about spelling or if its 100% as it was written in the image) "Who understood those kernel message anyway?". But, the kernel is still printing messages. Is it not only the init-process not printing messages and thats not the kernel is it? Sorry if this has already been a topic. Would it be a totaly loss if the kernel got patched not to print information to the screen, and rather just logged to a file? The things printed while booting is not realy errors but lots of information about IDE and other cards.. etc. These information is not realy interesting for all people, and maybe also not understandable and easy to be taken for errors. Having the boot graphical at this stage is maybe hard, but only showing an "Init.." and showing only errors - could that be hard to make? Probably and issue best taking care of by the real kernel-developers?

taroon list
by Bryan Hepworth 01 Aug '03

Hi Everyone Did we get any hands up for a separate taroon list? Severn works fine for me but taroon doesn't and I'd really like to check it out for work to consolidate a few servers. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. Thank you. Bry

Redhat-config-packages can't find CD
by Andrew Lofthouse 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

I usually try to customize the package selection during install. This time, however, I decided to try to install a fairly minimal system (nothing beyond basic workstation) and then use the package manager to install the rest after the first boot. However, I can't seem to get the package manager to find my CD... After selecting a few packages (or group of packages) to install and selecting "install now", the program asks for the corresponding CD (say, CD #3). I put the CD in the drive and clik "OK". It asks me for CD #3 again. I verify that the CD is in the drive (I can mount it and see that it is indeed CD #3) and I click "OK". It unmounts the CD and asks me for CD #3 again, and so on. I haven't been able to install a single package with the package manager because of this. What's going on?? AL __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is it possible to load a custom DSDT (acpi)? I have a latitude and acpi fails to start properly (=> the battery applet in gnome crashes).

Installing Severn on an old machine
by Emmanuel Seyman 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

I've installed Severn on a P133 with 64M of RAM and noticed a few things. - I'm amazed this actually works. I thought RHL had outgrown my former computer a while ago. - 85 minutes to install the standard Workstation setup. Ugh. I'm not going to do this everyday. - Choosing French for the installation, every line ends with " " - Same thing for the startup messages. Is this a known issue? - Hooking up the machine with my RHL 9 system via a twisted pair network cable floods the screen with kernel errors. The network card is a 3com 3c905 (have to double-check that one) - redhat-config-xfree doesn't detect my monitor but I'm pretty sure that's because of the KVM sitting between them. I'll try this again later with the monitor hooked up directly to the computer. Emmanuel

Re: VNC Installation
by jmontleon＠promutualgroup.com 31 Jul '03

---------- It's explained in the release notes. Just pass "vnc" as kernel boot parameter. The only problem I had with this is that you have to manually assign an IP address to the system using ifconfig on console #2. I've already filed a bug in bugzilla on this issue. ---------- I had the same problem. I stumbled onto another workaround. If you type 'linux askmethod vnc' rather than 'linux vnc' it will pick up a dhcp address. The down side is that you still have to go over to console #2 and do an 'ifconfig' to see what the address is since it was DHCP assigned and I'm not a savant (idiot yes, savant no...) So it would be nice if A) it would go through the static/dynamic address assignment process before starting the VNC server and B) print out the IP address that it is listening on. That's just my two ever so worthless cents.
