I just installed Test 3 on my laptop. Everything is looking good so far. Its
just finishing up an up2date from rawhide.
Dell Inspiron 5100
P4 2.6 GHz CPU

ATI Mobility 7500 64MB AGP Graphics
o I did notice that the first boot properly detected my screen resolution.
After finishing up first boot, gdm (I guess it was GDM) prompted me again on
display settings. Except that GDM said I only had max 800x600 when max is
1024. Sure enough the XF86Config file only had 800 and 600 resolutions. So
I manually added the "1024x768".
o Starting KDE gives me a "I cannot find sound server message". However,
sound worked with firstboot "Play Sound" test.

What about SELinux? That did not get in your way? What options did you
choose with respect to SELinux?

I do not know about SE, I have not enabled it. But I have noticed another
issue, my AA fonts have little red tinges to them in GTK apps if I boot
straight to KDE. I have to open up gnome-font-properties and the AA problem
goes away. I do not have to do anything but start the gnome-font-properties
and exit.

I just compiled a package and got tons of file_contexts errors. It didn't
break anything, just tons of console output.

New subject: Install failure
While installing FC2-test3, just after I entered the root password and
while it was checking the package list, I got a pop-up with this
message:
"You are trying to install on a machine which isn't supported by this
release of Fedora Core."
My only choice at that point is to click exit. I am currently running
FC2-test2 on the computer, so it is a new issue. Is there some way to
find out what anaconda didn't like about my machine? Is there a list of
unsupported (or supported) hardware somewhere?

I wonder if perhaps you downloaded the x86_64 iso instead of the i386
one (or vice versa).

Hi Chris!
It seems you are not the first to have this problem:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06460.html
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06177.html
The second link suggests it may be that the kernel package is not being
included in the package list. See this Bugzilla report for an anaconda
code snippet that shows what triggers this error message:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=106590
BTW, Are you the same Chris Negus of "Red Hat Linux Bible" series fame?
If so, I own your book; it's great! :-)
Regards,
-Matt

Thanks. I don't
know how the kernel package could have not been
selected, but I'll see if I can reproduce the problem.

Yes, thanks. Red Hat Linux has been
great to write about. I'm hoping
that Fedora can continue that tradition.
