Subject: 2.6.19 kernel won't boot due to "VolGroup00" not found
To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com
I seem to be having issues booting the 2.6.19 kernel from kernel.org.
I have FC-6 installed and wanted to upgrade the kernel from kernel.org
(I have done this many times before)
When I go to boot my newly built kernel, I get a kernel panic due to:
Volume Group "VolGroup00" not found
When I built the kernel, I used my current kernel .config file (2.6.18 from
fc6) by doing a 'make oldconfig'.
Has anyone successfully upgraded to 2.6.19 kernel from kernel.org on FC6 ???
Thank you.

Problems with FC6 and 3com 3CRWE154G72 wireless card
by Jonathan Underwood
Hi,
With a fresh install of FC-6 I am having some trouble with my pcmcia
wireless card - a 3com 3CRWE154G72. This card uses the prism54 driver,
and I have installed the correct firmware file in /lib/firmware
(isl3890). I can get it to work by brute force, but would really like
to debug this further, and file a bug report under the correct
component - right now I'm not sure where the bug is.
Symptoms:
1) Card doesn't activate on boot, even though the prism54 module is
loaded. Doing a modprobe -r prism54 followed by a modprobe prism54
starts the card succesfully, and all is well.
2) in system-config-network, when I try to add the card under
hardware, after I have selected the card, which is identified as 3com
3c501, I get this error message:
Command failed: /sbin/modprobe 3c501
Output:
FATAL: Module 3c501 not found.
Why is it trying to load a module called 3c501? Obviously that's not
correct. Is this a problem with HAL perhaps? I have looked thru the
fdi files in /use/share/hal/fdi, but nothing leaps out at me.
Despite not being able to add this device under hardware, I can
succesfully add a network device using this card in the Devices tab,
which functions fine, after I've done the modprobe remove and load in
(1) above.
I am a bit in the dark about what governs which modules are loaded
when a device is recognized - is this a hal problem, or a hotplug
problem, or??
Any pointers will be welcome,
Jonathan

Tom Horsley responded:
Much the same thing happened to me with a beta version of opensuse,
I found these instructions to get back control of the master boot record:
Boot off fedora dvd.
Type linux rescue, answer all the questions, might as well skip
mounting any partitions.
grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
exit
----------------
jack byers reply:
i think i understand that,
except i dont have a fedora dvd, it was installed for me by a vendor.
can i do same by booting up fc5 as normal and then
do something like
as root
init 1 ?
and then the grub cmds you give?
thanks for response
Jack

FC6 Install Hangs
by Kevin H. Hobbs
When I try to install Fedora Core 6 the last message that prints to the
console is:
23:19:06 INFO : no /tmp/fcpconfig; not configuring zfcp
After that nothing happens. Anaconda is using 100% of the CPU. The same
thing happens in graphical and text modes, with and without askmethod.
Does anybody know what anaconda is doing at this point?

kubuntu install takes over my fc5 grub
by Jack Byers
Jack Byers byersj(a)hotmail.com
[byers@bootp ~]$ uname -a
Linux bootp 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 #1 Tue Aug 8 15:30:55 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
fc5 is my main system
I am multi booting that with
--another, earlier copy of the fc5
--an old rh8
--a special Quantian.iso booted via grub
--a debootstrap install of kubuntu 6.06 dapper kind of works but problems
all of the above accessed by my grub on the fc5, no problems
--today just finished normal install from the kubuntu live dvd 6.06 dapper
that install was evidently successful ( havent explored it much)
but there was no way toprevent it from taking over with its own grub
the resulting grub boot menu
still allows me to boot back into my main fc5 which is where i am now
but
it messed up the rh8, clearly a bad configuration line
it completely missed the Quantian
it created duplicates of the deboostrap, with slightly different
cofiiguration, different titles
....
basically what i need from this list is what do i do to recreate the grub
running under fc5?
i would like to explore that kubuntu install,
but not at the cost of it messing with my fc5.
maybe with enough googling i could figure this out,
but i am none-too-confident of my skills here;
my grub experience is mainly limited to modifiying the grub.conf to add
multiple os.
my fc5 is working, still bootable from the new kubuntu grub,
so i havent damaged my fc5, except for this grub issue.
but i might well do something bonehead here without advice.
I want grub working again from fc5, not kubuntu
help would be much appreciated
Jack

buildreq
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
The subject line is the name of an rpm-utils package file, and it surveys
a src tree and builds a list of dependencies suitable for use with
rpmbuild.
Unfortunately it appears this package has not been made available to
fedora users...
Anybody know where I can get it in rpm format?

FC6 and "Realtek High Definition Audio" problem
by Martin Denham
I have just installed FC6 but there is no sound.
Do you know if ALSA supports "Realtek High Definition Audio" on-board sound.
Here is a list of what is installed:
[me@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-lib-1.0.12-2.fc6
alsa-utils-1.0.12-3.fc6
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.12-2.fc6
alsa-lib-1.0.12-2.fc6
The "Soundcard Detection" program displays "nVidia Corporation MCP61
High Definition Audio", but I don't know why it displays that, or if it should.
Thanks

MTRR Help -
by Brian D. McGrew
Good morning all:
We rely on being able to manually set entries in /proc/mtrr for our
proprietary PCI frame grabbing hardware to go into PCI burst mode and
run faster. We've always been on Dell PowerEdge 1800 hardware running
FC3 (stock) with the 2.6.16.16 kernel. Dell has changed their product
line on us and we're now forced to use a Dell Precision 490. FC3 won't
load on this new box because of newer hardware so we're using FC5 but
we're using the exact same 2.6.16.16 kernel.
On the Precision 490 workstation we can no longer control the /proc/mtrr
settings manually and in fact, the /proc/mtrr file even looks totally
different.
Here is a /proc/mtrr from a Dell PE1800 running FC3 with a 2.6.16.16
kernel that works just fine
:
Before we turn on PCI burst for our hardware:
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xf0000000 (3840MB), size= 16MB: write-combining, count=1
After we turn on PCI burst for our hardware:
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xf0000000 (3840MB), size= 16MB: write-combining, count=1
reg02: base=0xb8000000 (2944MB), size= 128MB: write-back, count=1
And this is good on a Dell PE1800/FC3/2.6.16.16.
However, on the Dell Precision 490 workstation/FC5/2.6.16.16 kernel the
base /proc/mtrr file looks like this:
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=65536MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x3ff00000 (1023MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1
reg02: base=0x40000000 (1024MB), size=1024MB: uncachable, count=1
reg03: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size=2048MB: uncachable, count=1
reg04: base=0xff0000000 (65280MB), size= 256MB: uncachable, count=1
And when we try and change anything so our cards go into PCI burst mode,
there is no apparent change.
Both the Dell PE1800 and the Precision 490 are using the same Xeon 5130
CPU but with different motherboards.
There is no problem running the code on FC5 and no error is given; it
just doesn't change /proc/mtrr and we run extremely slow!
What am I missing here? Not being able to burst on the PCI bus is
killing us!
Thanks!

Kernel bug
by Lars Bjørndal
Hello!
I would like to report a kernel bug.
All kernels after version 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 get my computer crashing
sooner or later, after reboot with a later kernel version. With
2.6.17-1.2187_FC5, all works fine.
The kernels I've tried after this one, is:
kernel-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5, kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 and
kernel-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5, and all of them crashes after some minutes
or hours or after a few days, at least.
What I've noticed, is that it may have something to do with the
network. I've three network cards on the system, and I think the
crash problem can has to do with eth2. There are two modules related
to the network cards that are loaded, e100 and 3c59x. I'm not 100%
sure which of them are serving two cards, but I think it is the last
one, 3c59x.
The crash problem behaves as follows, I'm blind, so I cannot see what's
comming on the screen. I'm only using the text console (no GUI):
- The braille display stop responding (I'm using the screen reader 'BRLTTY'.)
- I hear several beeps with about 1 sec. pause between, which I suppose
comes from the 10 'screen' sessions in the current console.
- Sometimes I'm able to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot, and after
that, all hangs. Sometimes I'm not able to do so.
- I allways need to do a hard reboot.
