[Edward S.P. Leong]

Dear All,

Would you mind to tell me does the DELL R710 Server and Raid Controller
support with FC11 OS ?

Thank for your help !

Edward.

Yes.  Not that Dell officially supports such, but it works.  Tools
such as Dell OpenManage are not expected to work on Fedora.  You just
can't call Dell Technical Support with OS-related questions (you of
course can call regarding hardware issues).

You may also wish to join the linux-poweredge mailing list
(http://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge) which is
for system administrators of Dell PowerEdge servers.

Thanks,
Matt

Mouse and keyboard problem FC12 and FC11

[Taoufik GABSI]

Dear all,

I've been using FC11 on a Dell Precision 690 for a while, before to loose
mouse and keyboard:
After a reboot, every thing goes well for 10 or 15 minutes, and then I have
mouse and keyboard problem.

I was using a PS2 keyboard, that I changed to USB keyboard; same for the
mouse. No changes.

Last week, I installed FC12, and then for a couple of days, every things was
OK until this week-end, I updated my system (using yum update).

I rebooted my system this morning, and 15 minutes after, the mouse and
keyboard bug appears again.
NO Messages, Nothing in system's logs.

How to solv the problem?

Mouse and keyboard problem FC12 and FC11 (Parially solved)

[Taoufik GABSI]

Hi every body,

The kernel I used was : 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64. Keyboard and mouse
becomes inactive after about 15 minutes after each reboot.

Yesterday, I decided to go back to first installed kernel
(2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64) and since, I have no more keyboard and mouse
problem.

Kernel or input devices bug???

Sincerly,

Taoufik

Mouse and keyboard problem FC12 and FC11 (Parially solved)

[Sawrub]

Hello Taoufik,

I too faced similar issue, but at last the issue was figured out to be
with my Intel Board PS2 ports.
Here is the trick that i used to figuring out the same : I tried
booting the machine without any bootable media [Hard Disk/CD-rom] ,
passed out time roaming over in BIOS settings and there it was the
system hung again, hence the OS was spared off from being the culprit.
Used my PS2 keyboard and mouse via a ps/2 to USB adapter converter and
it just worked fine, have sent in my board to Intel for replacement
presently.
Try out the same hope it helps, you can also try working under the
Live CD of UBUNTU in order to check if its an issue specific to
Fedora, in my case the the system hung with UBUNTU too.
Also to mention i did saw "i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing
i8042" a couple of times at booting times during the days.

Thanks
Saurabh

Mouse and keyboard problem FC12 and FC11 (Parially solved)

[Taoufik GABSI]

Dear Shaurabh,

As the problem appear under FC11, I first changer PS2 Keyboard and mouse to
USB ones.
Like the problem was also present, I decided to upgrade OS to FC12, wich
gave me real satisfaction for 3 or 4 days, until the time I decided to
update the system. And then the problem appears again.

Thank you for your contribution,

Taoufik
