Errors on boot of kernel 2.6.10-1.1088_FC4
by Rob Shewan
I have recently updated my rawhide box with 2.6.10-1.1088_FC4.
On boot it issues messages along the lines:
failed exec /sbin/udevstart
mount: cannot create device root
This is not verbatim and there are additional lines. I have attempted to
retrieve the messages with dmesg and examined the contents of
/var/log/messages.
If someone could tell me how to collect these messages I would submit a bug.

initrd-2.6.10-1.1088_FC4.img munged?!?
by Tom London
I upgraded 2 machines this morning to kernel-2.6.10-1.1088_FC4.
One went without a hitch. The other appears to have generated
a munged initrd. The boot fails very early with all sorts
of mount, etc. problems. Finally croaks with 'killing init'
message.
The apparently offending initrd is about 2x the size of
the initrd for 1075 or 1076.
This appears similar to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144553
I removed and reinstalled 1088 to no effect.
Anyone seeing this? Hints?
thanks,
tom

Trying to determine where dual-display for X begins in FC/RH.
by Jim Cornette
I submitted a bug report for problems trying to resolve a dual display
problem with the latest xorg-x11 program. I recall reading some list
mail and some bug reports earlier that referred to older X versions
working and later versions failing. I want to see if this is regression
or if an Intel 815 (primary) and an ati (secondary) video card could
work with Fedora/Red Hat.
I installed Severn to see if I could configure dual-display and found
only the start of the configuration tool interface. (blank tab).
Anyway, before trailing through all the betas, FC releases and such, I
would like to know where a functional configuration tool begins.
The bug and hardware that I am trying to use is posted in the bug report
that this link points to.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144597
I know the hardware is capable of working with this setup. The dual-head
operation works in Win ME, which is held in low esteem even among MS users.
Thanks!
Jim

A couple of problems
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm trying to get cpuspeed to work on my laptop and all it gives me is
Error: Could not open file for
writing: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_govenor
If I try to create a directory to take me up to the cpufreq/ part, I get
an access denied error, even as su!
I have a USB Wireless card which uses the prism2 chipset (so I use the
linux-wlan-ng software). This is not currently happy with the rawhide
kernel. Is there any way that support for this prism chipset can be
incorporated into the kernel either through a recompile or by asking the
kernel people nicely?

mysql
by Sander Hoentjen
Hi,
after updating mysql-server to 4.1.7-10 it doesn't seem to work for me
anymore
in the logfile i find the following:
050113 19:24:40 mysqld started
050113 19:24:40 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file
operation.
InnoDB: The error means mysqld does not have the access rights to
InnoDB: the directory.
InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1
InnoDB: File operation call: 'open'.
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation.
050113 19:24:40 mysqld ended
then i tried putting:
skip-innodb
in /etc/my.cnf
after that the logfile showed:
050113 19:27:37 mysqld started
050113 19:27:37 [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file:
'./mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)

find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
050113 19:27:37 mysqld ended
What am I doing wrong?

Fedora Core 3 Test Update: gimp-2.2.1-0.fc3.1
by Nils Philippsen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-579
2005-01-06
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : gimp
Version : 2.2.1
Release : 0.fc3.1
Summary : The GNU Image Manipulation Program
Description :
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image
composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for
creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of
the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial
offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a
large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and
layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions,
all with multi-level undo.
The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included
scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site
has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which
includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of
the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are
documented in the package. Get
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz and
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are so
inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system
before running the scripts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This is a major update (2.0 -> 2.2) which I did because upstream made
2.2 to be binary compatible. Still I'd like to have as much feedback as
possible, especially if there are regressions compared to the 2.0
packages. I plan to release this as a final update by end of next week
(Jan 14th).

FC 3 Kernel 727 X Display and Keyboard Lockup
by Tom Browder
I'm going back to 722 kernel since 727 X freezes display and keyboard
randomly.
I've tried dispabling xscreensaver but no change.
I also got two oops in a row before giving up. (I didn't see any capture of
info after reboot, do I need to pass a kernel option to trap that info? Or?)

up2date(-gnome?) glitches across an ssh (-Y) connection
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
My rawhide install of 2005.01.09 was out-of-sync so I fired up an ssh
connection from my FC3 gnome-terminal session and ran /usr/bin/up2date
(after pointing /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to my local mirror.)
The "initial configuration" screen of up2date contained "black
rectangles" (trash bitmaps) instead of checkboxes for practically all
the select options. The main "Package Selection" screen had a trash
bitmap instead of a checkbox for the "select all packages" option; the
package selection checkboxes were okay.
I filed a low priority bugzilla for this, (#144744)
