FC6 Combo drive doesn't work with DVD's
by Antonio M
I see that also after recent updates in FC6 my combo drive (that is
detected as QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242U and device /dev/hdc) works with
CD/CD-R/CD-RW but when I insert a DVD with data/files nothing happens.
I suppose that DVD should show up on my dsktop.....on the other hand I
can play a DVD with Xine even if it is not automatically mounted.
Any idea???

Switching to libata drivers
by John Wendel
I'd like to switch my PATA drives to use the new libata drivers
instead of the old ide drivers. Can someone point me to a howto or
other document that explains what I need to change.
Thanks,

FC6 error at start--vdevd add_to_rules unknow_key ...
by L
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

Smolt vs. dmidecode
by Sean Bruno
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)

CPU Speed: 2000
System Memory: 5950
System Swap: 1983

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.

Any chance that smolt can be modified in the same way? Just a thought.

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
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
