You are running an enterprise server and getting support for it from a cutting
edge mailing list because of laziness/pride or both? Read up the Wikis on
CentOS and see how to get community support "properly".

Watchdog, and supporting programs
by Seann Clark
All,
I have been playing with watchdog on my systems in the past few
months. One Fedora 8 older Tyan board with hardware watchdog, and one
new Fedora 9 Asus server board with hard ware watchdog. While using this
in its normal configuration everything works fine, and stable. I have
run into one problem with it. While over using my new server for I/O
intensive activities, I launched the load to 27 (one minute load
average) which triggered the default software watchdogs limit of 24 max
1 minute load average. It did what it was supposed to, and rebooted the
system. Tweaking problems remain on this box and I need to set it up to
live through a full reboot (it fails a check during boot and reboots the
box half way through a box, which is a glaring personal error in
configuration).
The other system I have is rather stable and has no problems with
the watchdog and it runs as I require it. What I am after from the group
with this is what repair style programs are being used, and examples of
such, if anyone is using this. I am working on writing my own, but I am
not sure where I want to go, and am looking for good idea's and gotcha's
on this as well.
Thanks in advance,
Seann

Heads up on potential F8 update cutoff deadline issues.
by linux guy
I understand that the cutoff date for updates to a Fedora release is
about 1 month after 2 newer releases have occurred. Ie F10 is
scheduled to be released in November, 2008 thus putting the F8 cut off
at November + 1 month = December, 2008.
I think this policy needs some discussion with respect to F8 and the
result of that discussion needs to be *CLEARLY* communicated to the
community well in advance so that we can plan accordingly.
The elephant in the room with respect to this situation is KDE4. I ran
F9 until this week and KDE4 is still lacking in many regards, especially
compared to the mature and stable KDE 3.5.10 in F8. Nevertheless,
kernel and application development continues unabated and some of us are
going to need access to those updates while we continue to run F8,
awaiting a KDE4 that is... more polished.
Maybe I am underestimating the version of KDE that will arrive in F10 ?
Notwithstanding that, I'm hoping that the status of KDE4 is going to
justify keeping the F8 updates flowing longer than has been standard
practice.
Thanks

Pulseaudio dies while using 2.6.26.x 64bit kernels
by Timothy Selivanow
I have an ICH8 chipset and whenever I use one of the 2.6.26.x 64bit
kernels, and does not happen with 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 (or any
previous). This happens with regularity when I am listening to [shout|
ice]cast streams. I don't encounter this issue on another machine which
has a RealTek audio chip attached to an nForce 4 series chipset.
Please let me know what additional information anyone might need to help
get this resolved.
lspci shows this as the audio device:

ATI 3870 Graphics Card install Query
by Dan Track
Hi
I've just recently purchase an ATI 3780 card (Asus EAH3870) I'm having
a problem setting up any compiz or dual monitor support under fedora
9. If I run compiz the screen remains blank with a beige background,
until it eventually reverts back to a normal display. I was under the
impression fedora 9 through the radeon driver supported this ati
model. Can anyone shed any light on how to resolve this please?

Hi folks,
is there a way to make evolution use a calendar (iCal) from a http

Slow Grub on new mobo Q
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
I built a new box yesterday, and one of the things I'm seeing is about a 10
second lag between the bios clearing the screen after doing its thing, and
the "Loading Grub stage 2", which stays on screen for several seconds, then
its blanked for another 10 secs or so, and finally the grub 'choice' menu
comes up.
This is with the new grub. One thing I had done on the previous mobo was to
have just one entry in /boot/grub/devices, but I see that has been reset by
something from /dev/sdb to /dev/sda, presumably by upgrading grub this
morning.
The bios is set to boot from the first ide, which is (hd0,0) I believe.
What can I post that might be of interest?, just ask.
Thanks.

Cheers, Gene

Re: [Fwd: FC9 Network Config]
by Edward S.P. Leong
Dear you,
Do you means if the NIC replaced with a new one ( hardware fail ) or
need to be installed the second NIC to the motherboard, the system (
such as FC9 ) will auto update the current NIC config and driver ( IP
address by manual ) , right ?
So, we needn't to running any tool ( cmd ) to update udev / modprobe (
system default ) ?
Thnaks !
Edward.
