no USB jump/flash drive support yet
by RaXeT
Running the latest FC3T1 here and am dismayed that apparently there is
ZARRO support for these USB flash/pin/jump drives.
Arghhh.

Boot messages in 2.6.8-524
by Steve G
Hi,
I just got yesterday's updates compiled and installed. Upon first boot, I got a
message like this:
Mounting local filesystem
Can't open RNG file /dev/hw_random no such file or directory
enable swap...
I haven't seen this before. I traced the message string to /sbin/rngd. Is this
error something that we should worry about? Something wanted a random number and
it aint gonna get it.
This prompted me to look deeper into the boot messages since there's a lot of new
changes regarding kudzu, hal, dbus, and the kernel. The issues I found will be
listed in the sequence they appeared in my logs:
Aug 21 09:00:13 buildhost kernel: SELinux: Initializing.
Aug 21 09:00:13 buildhost kernel: SELinux: Starting in permissive mode
Aug 21 09:00:13 buildhost kernel: There is already a security framework
initialized, register_security failed.
Aug 21 09:00:13 buildhost kernel: selinux_register_security: Registering
secondary module capability
Aug 21 09:00:13 buildhost kernel: Capability LSM initialized as secondary
OK, why did selinux fail registering?
Aug 21 09:00:14 buildhost kernel: ksign: Installing public key data
Aug 21 09:00:14 buildhost kernel: Loading keyring
Aug 21 09:00:14 buildhost kernel: - Added public key D9E600F29CF41CA4
Aug 21 09:00:14 buildhost kernel: - User ID: Red Hat, Inc. (Kernel Module GPG
key)
Aug 21 09:00:14 buildhost kernel: ksign: invalid packet (ctb=00)
Aug 21 09:00:14 buildhost kernel: Unable to load default keyring: error=74
Why is there an invalid packet and why did the keyring fail to load?
Aug 21 09:00:15 buildhost kernel: md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256,
MD_SB_DISKS=27
Aug 21 09:00:15 buildhost hal.hotplug[1684]: error sending message to hald
Aug 21 09:00:15 buildhost kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 2
Aug 21 09:00:15 buildhost kernel: IP: routing cache hash table of 2048 buckets,
64Kbytes
Aug 21 09:00:15 buildhost kernel: TCP: Hash tables configured (established 262144
bind 37449)
Hmmm something failed to send a message to hald. What was the dbus & hald boot
priority?
Aug 21 09:00:16 buildhost kernel: security: 3 users, 4 roles, 251 types, 12
bools
Aug 21 09:00:16 buildhost kernel: security: 53 classes, 3895 rules
Aug 21 09:00:16 buildhost kernel: SELinux: Completing initialization.
SE Linux is just now finishing its init? Why have other daemons and SE Linux
applications been running? Is there a synchonization barrier that stops any SE
Linux aware application from running until the whole rule set is finished
loading? Is there a window of opportunity that a malicious application could run
before SE Linux has done its thing? Like maybe disable SE Linux?
Aug 21 09:00:16 buildhost kernel: Adding 2096440k swap on /dev/sda5. Priority:-1
extents:1
Aug 21 09:00:16 buildhost kernel: audit(1093093168.059:0): avc: denied {
mounton } for pid=1117 exe=/bin/mount path=/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc dev=proc
ino=-268435430 scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:sysctl_t tclass=dir
Aug 21 09:00:16 buildhost kernel: audit(1093093168.059:0): avc: denied {
mounton } for pid=1117 exe=/bin/mount path=/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc dev=proc
ino=-268435430 scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:sysctl_t tclass=dir
Yep, SE Linux is now active, starting to see avc's.
Aug 21 09:00:17 buildhost kernel: Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0,
id 0, lun 0, type 0
Aug 21 09:00:17 buildhost kernel: kudzu: Using deprecated /dev/sg mechanism
instead of SG_IO on the actual device
Are there plans to fix kudzu not to use a deprecated mechanism?
Aug 21 09:00:18 buildhost crond: crond startup succeeded
Aug 21 09:00:18 buildhost anacron: anacron startup succeeded
Aug 21 09:00:19 buildhost messagebus: messagebus startup succeeded
Aug 21 09:00:19 buildhost haldaemon: haldaemon startup succeeded
OK, way down here at the very end haldaemon is active. Isn't this way late?

Will FC3 have cluster?
by Doncho N. Gunchev
I just translated (1-2 days ago) system-config-cluster and wonder
will FC3 have the cluster so we can try it (with GFS)? I hope yes.

NetworkManager?
by Thomas J. Baker
I installed NetworkManager and I can't seem to get it to do anything. It
dhcp's my eth0, dhclient breaks my resolv.conf, and I can't get any
NetworkManager windows to come up. I've tried NetworkManager and
NetworkManagerInfo. I get errors like this:
[tjb@katratzi ~]$ NetworkManager
/usr/bin/NMLoadModules: line 51: ip: command not found
/usr/bin/NMLoadModules: line 53: modprobe: command not found
SIOCGMIIPHY on eth0 failed: Operation not
supportednm_create_device_and_add_to_list(): adding device
'eth0' (wired)
nm_device_activation_cancel(eth0): canceled
Nothing to flush.

Kernek 526 is reporting an error with an LV
by Dwaine Castle
After installing the new kernel this afternoon, my system reports a bad file
system for my one logical volume. If I boot the previous kernel everything
is OK and no errors are reported. Does anybody know how I might fix this
problem? Is this a bug or just me?
Thanks.

information: The version of rdesktop you are using (1.3.1) is too old:
by M.Clasen
FC3t1:
The version of rdesktop you are using (1.3.1) is too old:
rdesktop 1.3.2 or greater is required. A working patch for rdesktop
1.3.1 can be found in KDE CVS.
with FC2 all went fine.
on FC3t1 currently rdesktop-1.3.1-5.rpm is installed.
connecting to linux is not a problem, but to windowsXP, above comes up.
regards
Michael
