Mount Other filesystems
by Maynard Kuona 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I think this is the biggest omission (OK maybe not), but I think Redhat needs to configure itself to automatically mount FAT partitions without requiring the user do that. In fact, it should mount any partitions it recognizes automatically, and give them names in some determined way. This could always be changed in fstab. It really irritates that after installing Redhat 9, I have to mount the partitions manually. I know I can do it during install, but its still too damn hard. Having the partitions mounted as read/write should be ok too, I really want to write to the windows partitions as a user, no dropping to root for that. And a graphical client to set up partitions wouldn't hurt either. And neither would one for ftp. I know it might compromise security, but I kind of have been spoiled by Warftp on Windows, and I would like a frontend for vsftpd to do that.

2.6.0-test2 and NVidia 4496 = no direct rendering?
by Thomas J. Baker 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I've got two separate systems where compiling the nvidia 4496 drivers and running Arjan's RPM test2 smp kernel results in glxinfo informing me that direct rendering is disabled. I've got the patch from minion.de and the nvidia module compiles and loads fine. If I reboot to 2.4.20-19.9, it works fine so it doesn't seem like the GLX libraries are not installed correctly. Anyone have it working? I'm using the Makefile.kbuild since the Makefile.nvidia doesn't seem to work at all.

second try: centrino patch - how to use?
by Peter Boy 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I'll try again: can someone (possibly from Rad Hat) inform us how make the speedstep centrino module work? Or post a link where to find information? There are some people around here who would like to know about it. Thanks Peter -- ----------------------- Peter Boy <pb(a)zes.uni-bremen.de> -----------------------

NNTP
by Marc Richards 30 Jul '03

What are the chances of RedHat making this list available via NNTP? It would make my life 1 billion times better and probably cause an end to world hunger. Marc

How to modify partition table?
by Peter Boy 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Does someone know how we should modifiy the partition table after installation? E.G. if you use LVM there may be a need to change the LVM volumes for reallocating space. There seems to be no redhat-config-.... and the very nice partitioning tool used during installation is missing on the disk. I know the command line tools, but - ok - more comfort more safeguards against typing errors, please.

success! severn + gcc 3.3 kernel + wireless + nvidia
by Robert P. J. Day 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

ok, making progress here. starting from a stock isntall of severn on my inspiron 8100, i have 1) starting with the shipped config file and ripping out massive amounts of junk, recompiled the kernel with gcc 3.3 2) pcmcia sees my linksys wireless net card nicely, configures with DHCP 3) new nvidia driver (4496) builds with gcc 3.3, doesn't complain about compiler mismatch any more now, against my better judgment, i still want to try a 2.6.0-testx kernel, so what's the algorithm for moving on up? specifically, what's the steps involved in moving from modules.conf to modprobe.conf? and anything else i should be careful of to prevent it exploding? i'm willing to give it a shot. rday

I did try the most recent BIOS from Sony (2000 dated) which was released specifically to correct compatibility issues with Win2K (presumably ACPI related).

Installation via ftp
by Justin Clacherty 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Has anyone tried to install via ftp and done so successfully? I've set up anonymous ftp on one of the internal machines and can ftp in successfully, but when I try to do an install the ftp fails. The anaconda log looks to have an incorrect address in it. ftp server is 192.168.1.22 the install data is in /pub/severn The anaconda log has the method as Method = ftp://192.168.1.22//pub/severn The install fails with an ftp error on ftp://192.168.1.22/%2Fpub/severn/RedHat/base/hdlist: 550 failed to change directory I suspect the double / in the method is causing the problem but it appears if I enter the directory as either /pub/severn or pub/severn. The %2F is in the error message is a bit of a mystery also... Justin.
