fedora-test-list Digest, Vol 8, Issue 49

[John Soltow (Sabre)]

    Excellent Instructions.

    Ran all as you said.  Had the following abberations:

 rpm -V udev-034-2
prelink: /sbin/pam_console_setowner: at least one of file's dependencies 
has changed since prelinking
S.?.....    /sbin/pam_console_setowner


modinfo on /boot/temp/ext3.ko as follows:


 modinfo ext3.ko
filename:       ext3.ko
author:         Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas 
Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others
description:    Second Extended Filesystem with journaling extensions
license:        GPL
vermagic:       2.6.8-1.603 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4
depends:        jbd

    Note:  The version numbers of all the packages involved match 
properly. 

    Upon reboot - the 603 kernel fails still - even though I rebuilt the 
initrd and System.map for that kernel version.

    I'm currently updating from Yum and will test a report (Volume 8, 
Issue 69, Message 16) in which Pekka Pietikainen reports that kernel 
version 610 boots where nothing since 541 had worked - which is the same 
thing I've been seeing.

    One last point for the record - Someone had said they were seeing 
this on an SMP system - my system is not SMP.  I'm running an ASUS A7N8X 
motherboard....

    .... Ok.... Yum is done.  check grub.conf - had to set the 610 
kernel as default (that's another thread somewhere).....booting....Nope 
- fails on the 610 kernel also.

    Ok.  removed gawk-3.1.4-1 and installed gawk-3.1.3-9 as the 
vol8iss69msg16 suggested.  Rebuilt mkinitrd - booted - it's working.



SUCCESS................................  Had to remove gawk-3.1.4 and 
reinstall the older version of gawk (3.1.3-9) and then rebuild the initrd.

    Now, I "could" just go on and install FC3T3, but does someone want 
more details from this issue before I do?


    For Matias, thank you for your patience and all your help. 
    For Pekka, thank you for the suggestion about gawk - it worked.
