Updated Bios, turned off IDE Raid and SATA, and the install well after that
except it didn't write the bootloader to the drive.
Cheers

Hi Don,
It's been a while, but I seem to remember having the exact same problem
when installing FC3 on my P4P800 Deluxe.
IIRC everything went fine after turning off "enhanced IDE mode" or
something like that in the BIOS.
Let me know if you manage to figure it out from here - if not I'll try
to get you more specific details.
Regards,

gnome keyring password - optional?
by Msquared
Is it possible to set an empty password on my gnome keyring?
I know it's a security risk, but here's my rationale:
I have some Windows machines on my network, and for some obscure reason
they ask me for a username and password in nautilus when I access them.
Another Windows machine accessing them doesn't have to supply a password
(or perhaps the password is hardcoded in Windows). To access the Windows
share I just use the username Guest and the password Guest.
The point is that the username and password are not really secrets,
they're just another annoying thing to type to get access to an
effectively public resource in my network.
I want to be able to access the shares without typing in anything, even to
gnone, and even once per session. I'm slack. :-)

Control-Alt-Fn Problem - REPOST
by Dr J Austin
Hi All
I have just installed FC4T1 x86-64 on Ext USB disk
Only problem being installing a boot loader, don't trust it! The options
don't seem correct.
I selected Do not install boot loader!!!
I then did a mkinitrd and grub setup by hand to USB disk
after install complete.
Clean boot from USB without touching MBR of main disk.
Usual gdm problem but as I use kdm ...
Need to edit /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc to permit root login !!!!
2nd occurrence of AllowRootLogin for anybody interested.
However Cont-Alt-Fn to switch to a dumb virtual terminal
causes the graphics to fail.
The screen/keyboard is active and you can log in blind,
mingetty running OK, but not very useful with nothing to see.
Suspect that the graphics resolution/scan rates not supported by LCD
monitor but not certain. Seems odd as...
The main disk of the machine runs FC3 x86-64 with no such problems
Graphics card is very standard Matrox G550
Monitor Iiyama AS4314UT
Has anyone seen this problem or know where the default settings
are for the virtual terminals?
Thanks
John
##############################################################
Additional Info
I still cannot get the display to work on virtual terms 1 to 6.
I have tried
yum install xorg-x11*
to the latest development version, not to be recommended as
the screen became unreadable at run level 5 and still fails
with Cont-Aft-Fn !!!!
Managed to get it back to the DVD release - just.
Is it time to submit a Bugzilla.
Advice welcome !!!!

FC4t1 - gnome-volume-manager uses 100% CPU if automounting an SD/MMC/CF card in USB card reader
by Msquared
I have an Apacer MegaSteno USB 2.0 7-in-1 card reader. One of the neat
things about this is that it claims to support Linux. It tells you what
minimum kernel version you need, and how to modify the kernel config to
allow the kernel to see all three slots on it.
The device worked well under FC1.
While testing FC4t1, I have also discovered the joy of autodetection of
USB drives, USB card readers, and cards plugged into USB card readers,
plus the automounting of all of the above. Awesome!
I have discovered one problem, though. Although automounting of USB
drives works well, inserting a MMC, SD, or CF card into the abovementioned
card reader automounts the first time, but not on subsequent insertions.
I also discovered that after this occurs, nothing else will automount,
either.
When I insert an MMC, SD, or CF card into the reader, gnome-volume-manager
starts using up 100% CPU, so I have to kill it. If I re-run it from the
commandline, automounting starts working again (for other devices) until I
insert an MMC, SD, or CF card again.
If I remove the card reader, insert the card into the card reader, then
plug it back into the USB port, the behaviour is the same.

RE: ASUS P4P series Motherboards

I attempted to install it on both my P4P800 Deluxe and P4P800E Deluxe and it
fails continuously on both. It reports it is disabling IRQ 5 and then that
nobody cares and continues to disable it time and time again before failing.

There was a problem around the Fedora Core 2 phase, a kernel regression
that effected the installer, but not the installed system. This problem
was long ago fixed.

Semi-successful text-mode (sorry) install of FC4test1 on Athlon64
by Telsa Gwynne
Hello, test-list,
One install attempt report.
Text install of Fedora Core 4 test 1 onto an Athlon64 (so x86_64)
with a Radeon 9000 and no whacky hardware. Only reason for the text
install was the lack of a mouse when I started. The install appeared
to go really smoothly, quickly and successfully, but, in retrospect,
I should have found a mouse earlier.
Two big issues for me:
* firstboot did not run on completion of the install (solution is
to install gnome-python2-gnomevfs, incidentally)
* for some reason the text install did not ask me what language I
wanted the machine to run in, although it did ask what language I
wanted the installer to run in. On first login. it declared my
locale to be POSIX. Urrr.. :)
So, bugs:
Found someone had already bugzilla'd:
151349 up2date "select all" only selects the first package
151867 After installation firstboot errors with numerous python errors stating GtkDeprecationWarning
Added more to the already bugzilla'd:
146862 yelp - "Could not load section" alerts for obviously existing stuff
153214 kernel - media check failure all disks
New bugs:
153269 RH website - Site unreadable with narrow browser window: text continues off-screen somewhere
153272 yelp - Welsh translation missing in yelp, despite presence of .mo file
153285 anaconda - text install did not offer language selections for post-install
153289 anaconda - text install did not ask me to create non-root users
(moved to firstboot, about to be duped, I expect)
153292 xorg-x11 - DDC probe failed on ATI Radeon 9000
153293 xorg-x11 - "mess" on root window after using scrollbar in a terminal (but only at certain resolutions)
153317 gnome-panel - notification applet crashed when I changed the default theme in Gnome
153320 yelp - yelp complains "could not load section" when invoked via right-click on an applet and choosing "help"
There are a range of other issues, but I am currently waiting for
up2date to sort its dependencies out before filing them. (This is
of course a text-mode up2date in order to avoid #151349 :))
No idea what's going on with the language thing at all. It's making
my head hurt, as /etc/sysconfig/i18n had one locale, and root was
resolutely sitting in POSIX despite this.

Stripped Symbols
by Sean Bruno
I looked through the archives and couldn't see any threads that were
relevant so here I go...Should some debugging symbols be left in the
applications while they are in "test?" I just ran into a case wherein I
would have to recompile quite a few things to get any kind of debugging
output.
Was this done due to space constraints or something? Or are is this a
Q/A requirement that we test packages as they will be delivered to the
distribution? Could seperate versions with symbols be available in
rawhide for this purpose?

xorg 6.8.2
by Joshua Andrews
There was an xorg-x11-6.8.2 update released today for FC3. It still does
not include the ATI/GATOS multimedia modules even though GATOS has been
merged into xorg for a long time now.
Will or does the FC4 xorg contain the ATI multimedia modules?
Thanks
