Fedora Installation error Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00.6********************
by Justin
Dear All:
I encountered an installation error when I installed Fedora Core 5 with my burned ISO at Compac Presario SR1010NX but no error at Dell Dimension 5150. The error is something like " Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00.6 ************************". After the error, the computer is rebooted.
Can anyone give me suggestions?
Thanks,
Justin

Problem with thsi list
by S. Cesaretti
First of all, sorry for the test messages.
I sent them because I can't receive the messages from the list.
How can I solve that problem?
Could you reactivate my email address?
Should I change the address?
Sorry again.
Best regards

Re: [OT] Canadian Census
by Croombe F. Pensom
I thoroughly agree : why should our government be forcing users to be on
specific platforms and ignoring the many, many Linux users out there. I,
too, shall add my stiff complaints to the "comments" section. I find
this often : one is told to download the application that one is already
using : seems to me that there's some VERY sloppy programming here
somewhere. I would like to see it illegal to block users who are using
Linux as such actions smack of censorship by y.k.w. reminiscent of the
illegal practices that Kodak once used to stop small photographic stores
and pharmacies from stocking GAF films (= Ansocolor and Anscochrome)
which, in my opinion, were far superior to their Kodak rivals.

Where is the best place for "mount" commands?
by WipeOut
I have a number mounts I need for network shares on my samba server.. I
would like the mount commands to run when I login..
Where is the best place for a "login script" type thing in a Linux system?
I have read mention of using rc.local, .bashrc and .profile files but
haven't found anything conclusive as to what the "right" way to do it is..
Any advice would be appreciated..

Mouting nightmare (please wake me up!)
by wwp
Hello all,
what's the new mess around mounting devices? Or what didn't I understand
properly? I've read all FC5 threads around /etc/fstab, mount, udev, hald,
gnome-mount, autofs, GNOME removable drives and media options.. and if I've
well understood, it's not recommended (read: not possible to make it work
properly) to define your usual mounts to /etc/fstab and (auto-)`mount` them
but we should to use hald for this now?
Also, I don't see how using gnome-mount could sound logical if I boot in
non-graphical mode.. am I wrong?
Using the fstab/mount way, I was able to decide what is auto-mounted or not
(in addition to the GNOME settings), and to choose the mount options. W/ FC5,
it seems that I should not use that way since I was getting dialogs telling
<me> that <me> is not able to mount or umount (<me> should be root), but for
half of those dialogs, the device could be mounted or umounted anyway
(impressive). I tried w/ or w/o sticky bit to mount/umount programs, no
difference.
Great, so I've set up some custom hal policy rules to get my external drives
to mount properly.. but what? It's not possible anymore (read: it was) to
override the mount options with hal? What happened? Isn't it possible to
mount external devices as non-root user? Who decided this? Where has the
desktop philosophy gone?
The only way I've found is to allow <me> to `sudo mount`, and set up a script
that I call from nautilus over the mounted device icon to remount it as exec
(IOW: mount -o remount,exec).. Shame.
Anyone who better understand all those auto-mount mechanisms than I do? Or is
everything messed up now? :-)
Regards,

Ah, proof in the pudding. I missed Warren's announcement in the noise
of packages on fedora-announce. :) Good thing they are separated now,
eh?

Internet lockup
by Gordon Gallup
Greeting All,
I have a new e-machine T6420. It is connected to a hub with three
other machines and the hub is connected to a Siemans DSL
"modem-router". I installed FC5 on the T6420. The behavior is
somewhat flakey, but it appears that ssh and sftp (particularly the
latter) break networking if I attempt to send too much information.
It appears to require a reboot to re-estaablish contact. Fiddling with
the inetd.network script does nothing I can detect, although it thinks
the network is up. Before the death, pinging works fine all around
the machines connected to the hub and also to my office machine across
town. In addition, Firefox works for a while, but I can't say yet
just how long.
Attempting to connect with the kio-slave 'fish' never works.
Thanks for any help, GAG

A question about acpi suspend.
by Aaron Konstam
I asked this question at the end of another long message where it
probably was not seen. So I am trying again.
This is no doubt a stupid question but I have to ask. Why can't we
implement the suspend event by the lines:
event=button/sleep
action=/usr/bin/acpitools -s
This causes the suspension when you hit the suspend button but when you
resume by pushing the power button the running of the machine quickly
locks up. What is the reason?

Question about the verify option of RPM
by John DeDourek
Running Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core 5.
Using the "verify" option of rpm ("rpm -V -v -a") gives a
line for each package beginning with 9 characters; each
of these characers is either a "." or a letter.
However, consulting "man rpm" indicates, under "VERIFY OPTIONS"
indicates that the line begins with 8 characters; each
being either "." or one of the letters "SM5DLUGT".
The ninth character is the verify output is either "." or "C".
Note that this ninth character in the first word on the line
is distinct from the following "possible attribute marker",
which, when it appears is one of the letters "cdglr".
Two questions:
What is the meaining of the ninth character ("C" or ".")?
Should this be reported as a bug against "man rpm"?

I searched bugzilla but did not find anything similar. I have filed a

At this point he is considering reverting back to RH8.
Anyone have suggestions?
