Upgrade? What type of upgrade did you perform, a full install or a true upgrade from a previous version? Were your settings saved in a separate partition?

The problems with it are a mile long and I'm very disappointed that I upgraded my home machine.
- I run Majordomo2 which is a great mailinglist manager. Not all my mail is getting delivered and I'm getting messages with blank bodies. No one else seems to be having this problem. I'm not sure what I can do now. It could be perl, or worse, it could be gcc which was used to build perl.
If no one else seems to be having this problem then the problem is probably not with Fedora but with the settings not being correct.
- I have a Palm IIIc connected on a serial port. pilot-link woks ok but all software that uses pilot-link (jpilot, kpilot, gnome-pilot) are all unable to connect to the device. No one knows why. I suspect gcc.
No one knows why? Have you been following this list for any length of time? A couple of recent messages had very useful information to help solve this problem.
- I have a Dell Dimension 4700 at work. The upgrade went fine from Core 3 to 4. Afterwards, I went to start X and it failed. The xorg.conf file was identical both before and after the upgrade, including after running system-config-display --configure. The fix, after a team of people poured 6 hours into it was to not use the VESA driver that it used before. The correct choice is to use the i810 driver. The writeup for it is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162699
Using drivers from previous versions often causes problems. Many things get changed between version which is why I recommend a fresh install (saving all the /home directories as separate, unformatted partitions).
I've had good and bad upgrade experiences before, but this is killing me. My home machine is my domain server and it's been pretty badly crippled because of the mail problems. I can still use my palm but it's a new experience in being crippled.
