FC 2069 Kernal causes system peripheral problems
by Richard E Miles
I can not use the latest 2069 kernal because on startup it causes my system to not recognize my ethernet card and my sound card. I have no idea why this is so.
I had to revert to the 1833 kernel.

Re: cpio copy linux installation (FC3)?
by Tony Nelson
I used cpio to copy my FC3 installation from one volume to another on the
same machine. It seems to work but I'd like to be sure I've done it
properly and won't see wierd problems later when I upgrade to FC5. My
procdeure was to:
make a new LVM partition and filesystem the same size as original
(actually I resized a FC5t3 partition and filesystem and
did a "rm -rf /" on it)
boot from (FC5) rescue CD
mkdir /mnt/new
mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /mnt/new
cd /mnt/sysimage
find . -depth -noleaf -xdev -size -102400K -print0 | cpio -dumpa0 --sparse /mnt/new
vi /mnt/new/fstab # edit to refer to LogVol02
# here would have been a good time to: touch /mnt/new/.autorelabel
umount /mnt/new
exit
boot original FC3
cream /boot/grub/grub.conf # add new stanza for same kernel new LVM
(gedit couldn't save the file)
boot new installation with kernel option "enforcing=0"
(eventually, after much horsing around with locking issues, etc.,
I decided that selinux was the problem and found the solution,
which was to setenforce 0, mount the new copy, touch its
/.autorelabel, unmount it, setenforce 1, and reboot as above.)
Some might say that I should have used dump and restore. Is there an
advantage over using cpio? I could have just used dd, but I tried cpio both
as a learning experience and in order to optimize the filesystem.

How to start keychain?
by Anne Wilson
After much reading, to try to get a cron job being able to run with ssh, I
found that the best solution for me appears to be to run keychain, with
--clear. I found the IBM tutorials, which helped a lot, until it came to the
bit about setting up the automatic loading of keychain. That's when you
realise how out of date the tutorials are. Parts 1 and 2 were written in
2001 and part 3 in 2002. Much has changed since then.
Trying to follow the instructions but adapting to what happens now, I put the
following into ~/.bash_profile
/usr/bin/keychain --clear ~/.ssh/id_dsa
source ~/.bashrc
Into ~/.bashrc I put
eval `ssh-agent` #should that have been changed to 'eval keychain'?
and at the start of the cron job I put
source ~/.keychain/david.lydgate.lan-sh
Then I logged out, and back in. Keychain did not start. I ran 'eval
keychain' and the cron job has completed once correctly.
Is it just the eval statement that is wrong, or do I need to change other
things?

cannot upgrade kernel with FC4 and FC5!
by Lucge
With FC4, kernel upgrade
- was OK up to 2.6.15.1.1831_FC4
- lead to a kernel panic since 2.6.15.1.1833_FC4 (with 3 different kernels)
With FC5:
- I can boot with the original kernel (2.6.15.1.2054_FC5)
- Any kernel upgrade lead to the same kernel panic (2.6.16.1.2080_FC5)
Kernel panic is:
uncompressing linux...OK, booting the kernel
Red Hat nash version 4.2.15 starting
EXT3-fs: unrecognized mount option "auto" or missing value
mount: error 22 mounting ext3
ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!2

error dup2' ing fd of 0 to 1
error dup2' ing fd of 0 to 2

kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!
Any idea?

suspend error
by Chris Jones
Hi,
I have FC5 on a dell 8600 laptop. For me, suspend and hibernate have been
working very well. However, I just tried to suspend and it failed. If I run
pm-suspend I get
jonesc@localhost ~ > pm-suspend
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend: line 23: echo: write error: Resource temporarily
unavailable
What does this mean ?

As far as I know. How can I tell? df reports that I have (among other
things) /dev/shm (128104 / 100% available). Is that swap?
Is this just not enough memory and swap to upgrade that much? If so, I
suppose I can take some of the larger groups of packages (openoffice,
gnome, etc) and update just them first.

beagle-build-in
by Scot L. Harris
Is there a FAQ or document that explains beagle-build-in or other
components of beagle? I need to find out how it is configured, how to
disable/enable it, how to use it.
I thought I had disabled it on my laptop shortly after installing FC5.
I was told on the list that beagle should be disabled by default.
However I have found that a beagle-build-in process runs and uses 100%
CPU. So far I have not found anyway to control this. It does not
appear in system-config-services, chkconfig does not list anything that
appears to deal with beagle, and I don't see anything in /etc/init.d.
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

keyboard shortcut bug?
by Leo
Hi all,
Could anyone running FC5 confirm that change of shortcut setting
(Desktop -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts) needs log off gnome?
I will then file a bug report.

That's it, SELinux is behind the problem. Only I like to keep SELinux
enforcing-mode activ and at the same time I need AdobeReader. Anything to solve
that conflict?
