That sounds good and exactly what I need. Could you post the script(s) please? And maybe post them as a page at linux on laptops (linux-laptop.net). Geoff

PAE kernel default with 1.5gb of ram?
by Frank Cox 25 Dec '06

25 Dec '06

I just updated a machine with FC4 to use FC6 and it now defaults to this kernel: 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6PAE #1 SMP The computer has only 1.5gb of ram in it; why would it want to use a PAE kernel? The "regular" kernel is also installed and I tried both, and didn't see any difference in performance during the minute or two that I played with it. I could easily change the default to the regular kernel, but I want to know why the machine figures it should be using a PAE kernel. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Xen kernel boots Fedora 6 x86-64, Standard kernel doesn't
by Thorsten Knieling 25 Dec '06

25 Dec '06

Hi, my hardware is an Shuttle SDS32G2 with E6300 Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB and GeForce 9800GS. Windows XP 64Bit operating systems runs stable with it. Fedora Core 6 with standard kernel (without XEN) only shows the first four lines during boot. You see the initrd... output and then nothing more happens. No Harddisc activity and so on. With Fedora Core 6 with XEN support, the kernel boots just fine and everything seems to go well. The behaviour with my Shuttle is reproducable with the first kernel at installation CD and the actual Update Kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6. I need a stable environment. The XEN kernel made my desktop (Dell Optiplex GX620) very unstable. The Dell system wasn't stable while I worked in a X sessions. I don't need the Xen layer at the moment. Do you have any ideas? Bye, Thorsten

FC6/MacBook Pro: no accelerated X using fglrx
by Robert J. Hansen 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Before I begin: I'd like to trouble people to cc me directly on any responses. As I'm sure you're all aware, this is a fairly high-volume list and it's easy for a message to get lost in the crowd. I have a MacBook Pro. Love the hardware to death, and I also love that it is mostly supported under FC6. (Admittedly, I need some help from livna, with madwifi and the fglrx drivers.) I can get X running just fine in nonaccelerated mode, which confuses me, because I've got fglrx loaded as a module, along with dri and everything else I can see that needs loading. Below, you'll find a copy of my (minimalist) xorg.conf. Can anyone point out to me what incredibly obvious thing I'm overlooking that will lead to fgl_glxgears running? (I don't have GLcore loaded because attempting to load it causes a bomb, since it can't find a symbol that it's looking for.) If it helps, fgl_glxgears goes through one frame of animation and then bombs. This gets printed to the console: X Error of failed request: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest Major opcode of failed request: 142 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (X_GLXVendorPrivate) Serial number of failed request: 27 Current serial number in output stream: 29 The xorg.conf file follows.

Udev vs. hal vs. USB vs. KDE -- It's enough to make you weep!
by Jonathan Ryshpan 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

I'm trying to get my system to mount a USB detachable hard drive at boot time. Here's what I've found out: (1) No info on how to get the drive to mount when the system boots, maybe no way to do this. However when the KDE desktop starts: (2) If the drive has no label, it doesn't mount when KDE starts. (3) But if the drive is labeled it does mount. (4) If the drive mounts when KDE starts, its mount point is /media/_media_foo, assuming the drive has the label "foo". (5) If the drive is mounted manually using the KDE pop up, the mount point is /media/bar, assuming that that "bar" is the the mount point specified in the "Properties" dialog box of the KDE pop up for the drive. There is very little documentation about the udev or hal configuration files, which control all this. This is a ZOO! What's going on here? Thanks - jon

I am runnning Fedora FC6; most everything is working, including the mounting of sata drives at boot time. BUT There are no icons on the desktop representing the mounted files If there is a cd in the cdrom drive when the system is booted, the cdrom drive shows up on the desktop; How do I make the same thing happen with the partitions on my sata drive?? (they do all mount sucesfully at boot time)
