rawhide 20080117 issues

[Chuck Anderson]

Not all of these have bugs filed yet, but these are the issues I've 
encountered so far in a fresh rawhide install.

Anaconda/Install issues:
Graphics not refreshing properly.  Seems to be some delay in the GUI 
being refreshed on the screen.

GRUB bootloader install got stuck--didn't exit the grub command, had 
to manually type "quit" on ALT-F3 console.

first bootup:
fsck: primary superblock features different from backup, check forced.
REBOOT LINUX

firstboot:
rootpassword.py, Import Error: No module named cracklib

first login:
pulseaudio unable to gain high-priority scheduling privs

GNOME Volume Control - defaults to Microphone volume instead of PCM.

Enable Desktop Effects - crashes X

Wireless Card - iwl4965 is blacklisted by default?!?

This one has been around for as long as I've had this Thinkpad 
T61/Intel graphics:

suspend-to-ram/resume works -- except that it won't stay suspended!  
It resumes immediately after suspending.

hibernate/suspend-to-disk works fine and doesn't have this problem, 
except that the text screen turns green and stays that way.  X doesn't 
suffer any ill effects from this, but text consoles stay with a green 
background until a full shutdown/reboot is done.

This will be fixed in the next hwdata package.

Happened to me after an update a week or so back.
