Phil, Thank you very much for your response. However, I am a novice. Can you please mail me if you are suggesting me to run install-grub using the text based install?

I am wondering why FC2-i386-disc1.iso/FC2-i386-DVD.iso failed to boot from my burned CD/DVD in all machines I have tried. Is there any file missed in these iso package? Thanks. John --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So do we.

Hi All, Does anyone know if the FC2 rpm for ClamAV 0.80rc3 will work on FC1? I used up2date to get the RPM from CrashHat on an FC2 system but there doesn't seem to be one for FC1. TIA, Mike

modprobe bcm5700 hangs with 2.6.8.1
by Sameer Kamat 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi, I have a AMD Opteron multiprocessor system with 3 network cards and I am trying to configure the network with no luck so far. The cards are Broadcom Netxtreme cards 5701 and 5704. I have compiled the latest bcm5700 driver for the 2.6.8.1 kernel.. But when I run modprobe bcm5700 it just sits there and hangs. No eth* devices are created. In the README file for the driver source, it is stated that the driver is tested up 2.6.7 kernel build. Would anyone please give me some pointers to help diagnose this issue? /var/log/messages shows no other error messages pertaining to eth*. Thanks, Sameer.

2.4 kernel problem
by John Logsdon 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

I have FC2 installed from scratch on an Athlon system and I have been trying to install a couple of 2.4 kernels (2.4.24 and 2.4.27) both of which are bespoke. Both are compiled on the machine in question. In both cases, the mouse does not start and the ethernet card does not start. The boot.log message show: network: ifup: interface 'eth1' not found and gpm O0o.oops(): [server_tools.c(76)]: Could not open /dev/input/mice although the subsequent messages claimed that gpm and eth1 had been started successfully. As a result, X doesn't start and I can't network the machine. It may be a header or similar problem - I have another machine that has been upgraded from RH8 to FC2 without problem while FC2 of course installs a 2.6 kernel. Can anyone advise (a) if this is likely to be the problem and (b) what I should do about it?

I decided to by "Dell Ultra Sharp 2001FP Flat Panel" on recommendation of my friend. When booting, I was hoping that kudzu will kick in and reconfigure for new monitor. It did not. When I start X on the computer, I get following message from the monitor "1:D-SUB cannot display this mode" How can I configure it ? I try to start "system-config-display", but get same message above. I connected this monitor to another (old) computer and started install process and it did reconize it as "2001FP (analog)" So FC 2 does know how to talk (install fails due to disk space problem). Any suggestions, how can I configure this monitor for my main PC.

Re: input level when encoding CD's

Can I fix them, or > should I just re-rip and re-encode? Google for replaygain and vorbisgain. They add tags specifying a preamp adjustment based on the perceived loudness of a track/ album (using acoustic modelling, similar to that used for audio compression). These values can be calculated at any time, and do not destroy information on the track (it's a lossless process). So you can apply it to your existing tracks. The current version of XMMS can understand the tags (I think it's down to the input plugin), not sure about the Jukbox or whatever it's called. To use grip to rip to vorbis, you're going to need to modify the command line it uses. I don't have an example here, but the places to look for info are: man oggenc (for the options to set custom tags when encoding), the grip help docs (for the variable containing the calculated adjustment), and probably the vorbisgain docs for the correct tag names (or just vorbisgain some existing tracks and use vorbiscomment -l). I prefer using vorbisgain however, because grip does not produce all four tags (album gain, track gain, track peak, and album peak). -- imalone

multiprocessor support?
by Gustavo Seabra 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi, I am about to install FC2 in one computer that has 2 processors. Currently, it's running on Linux 2.4.18-14smp. Before I make a big mistake, I wonder if anyone here has experience with multiprocessor machines... In other words, does Fedora Core 2 support dual processor?
