Fedora Core 2 Test 1... delayed
by Bill Nottingham
Since the schedule says it's coming out tomorrow, I figued I'd
push the heads-up that it's delayed.
In short, it's not working quite well enough to push out yet.
We're currently working on it, and will update the schedule
page when we have a better idea when it's going to be usable.
Best guess right now is mid-to-late this week.

test kernel-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage
# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.i686.rpm ...
...
2:kernel ########################################### [ 67%]
/dev/mapper/control: open failed: No such file or directory
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Command failed
This latest kernel apparently installs, and seems to boot OK on my
laptop, but has trouble recognizing my IOGear MiniView III 4-port USB
KVM. On one boot the ATEN device is not found and I have no KVM keyboard
or mouse. When I remove the device and reboot, the KVM is found again
and everything is OK. It seems to toggle each time I boot.

vim-enhanced oddness
by Ken Snider
Using x86_64 test1 release.
when using vim (/usr/bin/vim), and creating a file:
[root(a)dw1.dw root]# vim blah
..typing some text, then saving with :wq, presents the following:
Vim: Caught deadly signal ILL
Vim: preserving files...
Vim: Finished.
Illegal instruction
../bin/vi does *not* have this problem,
Any ideas? any output I can capture to help narrow down the issue?

Status of Adaptec Hostraid support.
by Sam Varshavchik
I'm trying, rather unsuccesfully, to get FC1 AMD64 installed on a dual
Opteron with an Adaptec 29320-R card.
It looks to me like Adaptec Hostraid is not supported. This is a surprise;
up until now Adaptec hardware has a good track record of Linux support,
going back for years.
Can someone confirm whether Adaptec hardware RAID is supported, or not. If
not, what would be a good hardware RAID card to use in its place?

Trouble with control-center-2.5.2-2
by Alexander Brinkman
Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded to Fedora Rawhide. After this logging in to GNOME
with mortal users was not possible anymore; after username/password
gnome-session got started, the Fedora logo showed and then nothing... No
crash, but also no action (normally some icons and text being displayed
of what programs are started). Logging in with root was no problem
however.
After some trial-and-error I noticed that when I installed the old
control-center-2.4.0 (from FC1) back again the problem vanished.
I have absolutely no hard evidence, but I suspect gnome-settings-daemon
to be the culprit. Only a few programs get loaded before all action
stops, and replacing the RPMs of the other programs (such as GConf2) did
not solve the problem.
Is this a known problem? I suspect some rights issues are to blame (as
root was still able to log in)...

x86_64 redhat-config-packages
by steve harris
I cannot get redhat-config-packages to work.
When started I get this back:
"Installation Tree Not Found.
The path /mnt/cdrom does not look like a valid installation source."
I've tried putting the 1st CD in cdrom but same error.
I remember Fedora1 had a similar problem which was resolved in an updated
package. One of the paths was wrong looking for /redhat instead of /fedora.
I've looked thru the script for redhat-config-packages but I cannot figure
it out where the problem may be. Could be operator error. I appreciate
everyone's time.
Thanks,
Steve
