FC2 and Webmin
by Robert Slade 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hi I'm new to Linux and am trying Fedora, so I am not too sure what I am doing :-(. I'm having trouble with Webmin and FC2 with SSL. I have openssl installed (from the FC2 CDs, but I am having trouble with NET::SSLeay. I managed to download this from freshrpms, but that still gave me the same error when trying to activate SSL in Webmin. I have also tried downloading the .tar but that did not compile. Having read the documentation, I believe the problem is with different compiler versions used. Can someone point me to a (simple) howto or advise me what I am doing wrong. Rob

description of fedora core 2 device driver disks and how to roll your own?
by Urs Rau 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

I am trying to put together a fedora core 2 device driver disk (version 1 if possible) for hardware where the vendor does not yet have updated driver disks for fedora. I have a Highpoint Technology RocketRaid 1640 Sata and need to make a driver disk for the fc2 2.6.x kernel as well as some fc2 2.6.x customised kernel. Sofar I only have the following pieces of info. Does anybody know where someone might have already done the work of scripting the process or at least documenting the steps required? The excellent but outdated devel kit by Doug Ledford http://people.redhat.com/dledford/ Some description of the process by a user that needed a firewire driver for FC2: http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/snapshots/FC2-firewire/0README and two very short but related articles explaining the old redhat way of doing driver disks and the difference between the older redhat and the newer fedora driver disks. http://faq.linux.cz/pracovni/driver-disk-howto http://www.wormgoor.com/print.php?sid=68 This is as much as I have to date. But surely somebody out there has already coded/scripted a framework to ease this task? My 3 specific questions are: 1. any official (or other) document describing the format of the version 1 driver disks (for fedora 2.6.x kernels)? 2. any texts giving the instructions on how to roll your own device driver disk (for fedora 2.6.x kernels)? 3. any scripts or frameworks that are already written to do this creation of a version 1 device driver disk (for fedora 2.6.x kernels)? Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated. I am also just starting to look at the Dell dkms project http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml , thanks Doug for the hint. -- Urs Rau Head of IT Operation Mobilisation UK PS: The specific hardware I am looking at is http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/brr1640.htm

USB diskonkey lost with kernel 2.6.6+?
by Leon Stringer 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hi, I used to use my USB key with FC2. I'd plug it in and could use it at /mnt/diskonkey. Unfortunately it no longer works. I think it stopped working when I updated my kernel. I'm now on 2.6.8-1.251 (from the Fedora updates folder) and when I check /var/log/messages it shows: Aug 30 17:47:59 localhost kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using address 2 Aug 30 17:48:00 localhost kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... Aug 30 17:48:00 localhost kernel: usb-storage: probe of 3-2:1.0 failed with error -1 Aug 30 17:48:00 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage Aug 30 17:48:00 localhost kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered. Is there a known issue here? Has the later kernel broken this? Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance for any help, Leon...
