X and Logitech optical mouse (OEM)
by anmitaro@uniba.it
Hello all...
I just managed to install FC2 Test 3 on a PC with a Logitech optical mouse,
PS/2, OEM version.
During the install process, the pointer acted weirdly (random movements,
buttons not functioning properly), being unuseable... I had to use the
keyboard in anaconda in order to install FC2.
The same problem presented after the reboot... I tried several other mouse
drivers in X (not only the IMPS/2 one) with no success.
Any idea?

images/bootdisk.img
by Joe MacDonald
There does not seem to be many options for creating boot disks in the
images directory of FC2-test3
I want to do a net install by booting off a floppy. Will these be
available in the final release. I find them quite valuable as I normally
just keep an image of the RPMS directory on a server.

R30 Thinkpad install, screen resolution issue in X
by Maurice F. Piller
I did a fresh install of FC2T3 on an IBM Thinkpad R30. Install was successful.
Reboot after install and X came up in 640x480 even though my hardware is a
1024x768 LCD screen and I selected Generic LCD Panel -> 1024x768 during X
configuration.
Tried to get 1024x768 graphics using the gui tools "System Settings -> Display"
and "Preferences -> Screen Resolution" but this did not work.
After some time I fixed the screen resolution problem by manually editing the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Everything else looks good so far; network autoconfigured, sound works (after
adjusting volume using keys on my keyboard), gnome looks great, and Google is
now the mozilla default setting for Internet Search!
Used up2date successfully, it seems to be more responsive that in the past, it
complained about GPG signatures.

NFS install doesn't seem to like the ISO images
by Robert P. J. Day
for the first time in a while, i decided to do an ISO-based NFS
install for FC2-t3. took CD 1,
boot: linux askmethod
pointed the new host at the current server with the ISO images, and
got
"The Fedora Core installation tree in that directory does not
seem to match your boot media."
the phase "installation tree" is, i'm assuming, a bit misleading since,
historically, you could point the install at an NFS-exported directory
that contained the ISO images themselves , and i'm assuming you can still
do that, no?
i didn't see anything in google about this. thoughts? that directory
certainly contains the FC2-t3 ISO images.

CD install hanging (thanks to SATA RAID)
by Rio Baan
I've got a similar problem to these guys. I located it to be the on-board
SATA RAID.
My install of Fedora test 3 gets as far as entering keyboard type and then
anaconda searches for a previously installed Fedora on the system. Thing is,
when my RAID is connected.... this part hangs badly. UNPLUG the SATA RAID,
and the install goes OK.
I experienced SATA RAID hanging on test1 and test2, but usually this happens
only AFTER install finished and I got to first boot.
With the SATA RAID disconnected, the install goes OK. Mind you, the kernel
does a search for drives on the Silicon Image SATA RAID, and spends a good
few minutes there trying to find drives where there are none.... and it's a
real pain. I reckon it's the IRQs being used my the RAID that is causing
this.......
My mobo is an ASUS P4G8X-Deluxe, Pentium 4, 3.06Ghz hyperthreaded

usb networking error: "NETDEV WATCHDOG: usb0: transmit timed out"
by Michael Opdenacker
Hello,
This could be useful for people searching through the archives of this mailing list.
If you use networking through a USB cable, you may encounter the below issue
with Fedora Core 2 Test 3 (in /var/log/messages):
"NETDEV WATCHDOG: usb0: transmit timed out"
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121992 for more details
and a solution.
Actually, this bug is closed (though no package fixing this has been release yet), so you won't find it if you search through Red Hat's bugzilla with the default search settings.
That's also why I share this with you.
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Michael.

Re: FCT3 - Hangs when installing from CD
by John Pullan
I'm also seeing the problem Eric describes, (same MB), but not only did
FC1 work, FC2T2 worked as well. So something recent must have broken.
Is there extra info I can send to help track down the problem ?

X.org
by Arkannis
This might be the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know what is going
to happen with regards to xfree86 and X.org respective versions of X11
as pertains to Fedora? Inquiring minds want to know, especially in light
of Red Hat's stance on non-GPL or GPL compatible licensing.

USB hangs/crashes with USB mouse+key drive
by Konstantin Ryabitsev
Hello, everyone:
I've been observing this behavior since kernel >1.322. I have a USB
optical mouse (Logitech) and a keydrive that is a simple usb-storage
device. Since test2 and up to kernel 1.322 I could both use my mouse and
mount the key drive, but USB stack would crash when closing the X
session (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119231).
This seems to have been fixed some time after 1.322, but ever since then
I cannot both use my USB mouse and mount the usb-storage. If I try to
mount it, it will try for about 3 minutes, and then my mouse will stop
working. The mount process never seems to die (looks like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107248).
I've seen this happen on two different motherboards, and I know that the
keydrive works, because I can access it in fc1, so it doesn't look like
this is a hardware issue.
Can anyone else try this? If you have a USB mouse and a pen drive, try
to use them both and see if you have any luck.

f2t3 x86_64 installation report: thumbs up
by Pau Aliagas
I have installed from a DVD, a new x86_64 Fedora Core 2 Test 3.
It's happily up and running, but I've found a few issues:
Installation
-------------
* when creating LVM volumes, the mini-wm stopped working when clicking and
double-clicking on the partitions. I had to restart because it dodn't
recover. The ttys were ok.
* 2nd installation worked flawlessly
Post-installation
-----------------
* system-config-display wites XF86Config instead of xorg.conf and shows
the parametres setup in that file. X uses xorg.conf as expected.
* yum: it's configured to use the main site instead of mirrors. I have
setup the mirrors manually, but no new user will understand why it
doesn't update and why it doesn't connect.
Summary
-------
Very good, in general, but we should address these two issues if we don't
want to upset new users.
