FC6 error at start--vdevd add_to_rules unknow_key ...
by L 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi When vdevd starts at booting FC6, there is error messenge as follows, vdevd add_to_rules[403] unknown_key ATTRS{idProduct} It repeated a few rows. What does it mean? And, this messenge flashs very quick, It took about 5 reboots to gather this error messenge. The 2nd question is how to capture the error messenge at the beginning of system boot? Thanks Yuandan

Smolt vs. dmidecode
by Sean Bruno 01 May '07

01 May '07

Just a curious point. I noted that my smolt profile doesn't indicate my system's motherboard model/revision information. I guess ASUS just never got around to filling in the bits at whatever location smolt is looking. UUID: 2f04459f-c147-4b96-b912-24b8534bc6e2 OS: Fedora Core release 6 (Zod) Default run level: 5 Language: en_US.UTF-8 Platform: x86_64 BogoMIPS: 2010.05 CPU Vendor: AuthenticAMD CPU Model: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 Number of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 2000 System Memory: 5950 System Swap: 1983 Vendor: System manufacturer System: System Product Name System Version It also seems that dmidecode pulls that information, but is is able to get the mobo model/revision info from the BIOS at a different location: # dmidecode 2.7 SMBIOS 2.3 present. 56 structures occupying 1766 bytes. Table at 0x000F0000. Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 20 bytes. BIOS Information Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD Version: ASUS K8N-DL ACPI BIOS Revision 1008 Release Date: 02/17/2006 Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes. System Information Manufacturer: System manufacturer Product Name: System Product Name Version: System Version Serial Number: System Serial Number UUID: 50ECB49C-06A4-D911-B7D5-E9686682C17E Any chance that smolt can be modified in the same way? Just a thought. Sean

Could some one help me out? I tried putting in Fedora 7 as a download. it would not install. so I put Fc6 back in. When I rebooted all the font was very small, pages where half sizes,photos thumbnail size and smaller the delete on hotmail show 1/4 page icons vary small. so is there any help with this? Thanks.

Really, REALLY slow computer
by Steve Blackwell 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

So, new job and a shiny new HP Duo Core computer with 2G RAM and twin 250G ATA drives, loaded with Windows XP of course. The 1st thing I do is to load FC6 on the 2nd of the disks. After 2 days (!) I have everything loaded and updated but the system is running really, and I mean REALLY slow. It takes about 15 mins to boot up and 5 to log in. Both processors are heavily loaded but yet top shows nothing out of the ordinary, memory usage is abot 15%. During boot I get these two error messages: ... Starting udev: Wait timeout. Will continue in the background. [FAILED] ... and ... Warning: Error inserting freq_table (/lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2944.fc6/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/freq_table.ko): Required key not available. ... The CPU frequency monitor applet show CPU0 to be running between 1.60 and 2.13GHz. I checked through messages and these couple of things look suspicious: ACPI: exception (acpi_processor-0677): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [10060707] This message was repeated for the 2nd processor. speedstep-centrino with X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI config is depreciated. Use X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ (acpi-cpufreq) instead ata: 0x01F0 IDE port busy ata: conflict with IDE 0. ata: 0x0170 IDE port busy ata: conflict with ide1 ata_piix: probe of 000:00:1f.2 failed with error -16 Does anyone have any insight of these messages or whwre to start looking to fix this. Thanks, Steve
