leftover modules
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage
Has anyone else noticed that when you 'rpm -e ...' a 2.6 rpm, its
corresponding /lib/modules/2.6.x directory is not removed?

Fedora Core 1 for AMD64 test1 installation problem
by Mario J. Borgnia
Hi all,
I am trying to install Fedora Core 1 for AMD64 test1 on a system with
the following specs:
CPU: AMD Opteron 246 (dual)
RAM: 16 GB
Motherboard: Tyan Thunder K8W V1.01a
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro FX 500
I have tested the installation media and it passed the tests.
I boot the system with the installation CDs and it will proceed until
loading the GUI but then it aborts with the following message
Install exited abnormally
And prompts for reboot
I have tried booting with acpi=off and with linux text. Same problem.
Has anyone had better luck with a similar system?
Thanks
Mario

naconda White Out - no install
by Pete Bradbury
Setup
AMD64 fx-51
asus sk8n-404
1 gig RAM
80gig ide
Viewsonic vp211b tft
ATI Radeon 9800 pro 256mb
The above has a promise raid array which isn't recognised, I'm not bothered
about that as I'm using the plain 80 gig drive for linux. The raid uses two
120gig sata drives and is aprtitioned only for win xp.
When I try to install Fedora it enters the Anaconda phase and momentarily I
have a white screen with the X cursur, it is moving for 5 or so seconds and
then locks up with nothing else happening. If I use linux acpi=off I get
occssional screen changes from black back to white, every now and then.
The Radeon card appears to be recognised but not the Viewsonic monitor.

Alcatel Speedtouch
by Pete Bradbury
I've been unable to install under previous RH9.0 methods of the Alcatel
Speedtouch.
Is there anyone who can guide me to a site where an AMD64 installation of
the speedtouch can be made possible?

dovecot-0.99.10.x or Mozilla label bug?
by Rick Johnson
I recently switched from UW-IMAP to Dovecot IMAP and from mbox to
Maildir directories on a server. On a different server, I've been using
Dovecot with mbox for some time and recently converted it to Maildir as
well. In both cases, I'm using Mozilla or Thunderbird as my client.
It appears that after switching from mbox where label flags are stored
in headers to Maildir where the flags are stored at the tail of the
filename, that message labels were "Broken". Message labels appear to be
reverse associated with letters. Label 1 being f, Label 2 - d, 3 - c, 4
- b, and 5 - a.
How comes the problem. If I set one label and leave it, there's no
problem. However if I change a label on a message, or attempt to remove
it, it appears that dovecot isn't removing the previous label flag, but
instead adding a new label. If I'm switching from 5 to 3, it appends c
to a, and the client won't notice the difference. However, I can't
switch back from 3 to 5, since the flags are stored alphabetically, and
the previous flags aren't removed. Instead - the old label sticks. I can
apply all labels, and all "characters" remain in the filename, however
the "highest" in the alphabet is what gets displayed, and I end up with
a trailer on the file of "abcdf".
Proper behavior would be to remove the previous label flag before
applying a new one. This didn't appear to be a problem in the mbox
version since the labels were stored in the headers under X-Label or
something like that.
Interestingly, Evolution 1.4 is able to clear the labels, but only does
so after you exit the client.
This happens under 0.99.10-6 (core 1) and 0.99.10.4-1 (devel).
Bugzilla time? I filed 114230 for Dovecot, but I'm not 100% sure if this
is a Dovecot or Mozilla issue. I'm leaning toward Dovecot not clearing
previous labels, since the mail client generally doesn't "care" what
backend format you're using.

X86_64 Preview: /lib dir for precompiled binaries?
by Ken Snider
I'm trying to make use of a precompiled 32-bit binary, but am receiving the
following error:
./SDBINST
-bash: ./SDBINST: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or
directory
Checking lib, there are indeed no libraries there.
Now, my question is, is it safe to symlink the required libraries to their
64-bit counterparts? if not, can I safely install an i686 glibc to meet the
requirements, and if not, what *is* the recommended method to correct the
above issue?

AMD64 + Adaptec 1210SA + Fedora Core test/devel forecast?
by Peter Dalgaard
I think I know what the basic issues are here, but I'm trying to get
some bearing on what to do next, and maybe nudge the developers in a
favourable direction.
I have a dual Opteron with the 1210SA controller plus a 36GB WDC SATA
disk. It won't install either of the test or development setups. It
will boot, recognize the controller as an IDE device (I believe that
is the siimage driver, right?), find the disk, but then I get tons of
"hdg: lost interrupt" messages. The system appears to talk to the
disk, but so slowly as to be useless.
Skimming recent discussions on the Linux Kernel list, it transpires
that
a) the controller has a SIL3112 chip
b) the firmware has a nasty habit of turning the interrupts off on
this particular device
c) there's another kernel driver (sata_sil + libata) which is the one
you really ought to use
d) patches exist and have been tested with some success
I saw a note (where?) to the effect that the libata stuff was still in
the works and an errata RPM was being planned. In any case, I'm not
badly scared of patching kernels myself. However, without a kernel
that can handle the disk, I'd still be up the creek without a paddle.
(No other Opterons around and I'm not going into cross-compiling from
386 systems.)
On the other hand if someone would just set up a pxeboot directory
with stuff which could get me through the install stages, I'd be eager
to test it and report back. It might be useful to do this before
release since I suspect I'm not the only one around with such a
setup (nudge, nudge...)
The other obvious workaround is of course just to go out and buy a
disk for the *real* IDE controller and install to that. However, if a
solution is just around the corner, I'd rather save my money for
something else.
