This is very good news, although partial. According to this thread on the nVidia Linux forum: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=57791&page=11 it is not clear yet (or at least it isn't to me or the latest people who posted) if and how onboard {Firewire, ethernet, sound} can/must be made to work with Fedora, and where is a step-by-step complete procedure. Any further comment/pointer is really appreciated, thanks! Webber

ICH6M SATA and poor optical drive performance
by Christopher J. Bottaro 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000d which has a SATA hard disk and PATA optical drive. The performance for the hard disk is good, but the optical drive's performance is very poor, I can't turn on DMA. I used a kernel patch that got both drives working well, but it caused my kernel to be unstable (random lock ups). Here is a discussion of the patch: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/insp6000/p-disc.html#cd I searched the web more and found a discussion on the kernel parameter atapi_enabled=1, but that didn't work for me either. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/351063 This is the kernel I'm using: kernel-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 Any advice, tips or hints? Thank you.

SATA, Raid 1, LVM and controller question.
by Robin Laing 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hello, I have a question about peoples experience with SATA and RAID 1. I have 4 SATA drives, 2 which are presently md0 in an initial LVM. I am about to add the second two drives as md1 to the LVM. One controller is onboard and the other is a PCI card. Now with the present setup, I have the md0 drives on the same SATA controller chip and I notice that when large files are written to the array, there is a pause in the operation of the workstation. Anything being done is affected. I was wondering if moving the drives to different controllers would benefit in throughput as putting IDE drives on different controllers? I am thinking of doing it but I have not seen any information on physically moving md drives from lets say sda to sdc. As the LVM is looking at md0 and not the sd* devices, I don't think I will have to do anything with LVM during this. I will backup the data just to be safe.

setting up 2 dvd's
by George Hare 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi All, I have googled and read as much as I can find but nothing I found tells me how to activate 2 dvd's. The one that came with the box can't write dvd and so I bought a dual layer BENQ and had it installed at the store. When I place a dvd in it, the green light flashes and when I point Xine to dvd1 I get no MRL. Both appear in /dev with symlinks as cdrom, cdrom1, cdwriter, cdwriter1, dvd, dvd1, and dvdwriter. When I try to play a music cd, I get permission denied. I have no trouble with the original, but can do nothing with the new one. If anyone can help or point to where I can find help, it would be greatly appreciated. I am running Fed4 on a 64 bit KV8 pro. -- G. Hare

Are latest nVidia drivers OK for GeForce 6150 + nForce 430 on Fedora?
by dondi_2006 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hello, one of the best motherboards for the new computer I described in previous messages would be the ASUS A8N-VM CSM: it has a DVI port, which would save me the cost and cooling problems of an extra graphic card. Its only problem is the GeForce 6150 + nForce 430 chipset, which was reported as not working last november: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/lofiversion/index.php/t25122.html Now I see that nVidia has released new drivers just before Christmas: is anybody already using them successfully on Fedora? I have tried to log in on the nvidia forum, but it hangs at the registration page... Thanks in advance for any information, Webber

LVM on a laptop
by William Murray 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hello all, I just faced a laptop problem: How to shrink the FC4 allocated space in order to increase the space on another operating system. I had used the default LVM. A trusty knoppix liveCD QTparted knows nothing of LVM, so I tried the FC4 rescue. After a long time, I found: * resize2fs shrinks the ext3 / area. OK * lvm lvreduce shrinks the logical volume (different units) * lvm pvmove allows me to put all the lvm handled stuff physically together. More different units. * vgreduce...fails I think I was supposed to use vgreduce to shrink the space managed in the volume group - but I couldn't make it work. It only seems to delete logical volumes. Finally I reversed all the above operation. Since they are all in different units, and I had padded a little to be safe, I had to pad some more on the way back, and now I have wasted space. Two questions: *) How could I have made it work? *) What benefit is there in lvm on a laptop, when you pretty much know there will only be 1 disk? Thank you! Bill
