hi, are there known problems in severn with the e100 intel-etherexpress 100 modul i was trying now for 2 days to bring one of my severn into the lan. i was not able to do a net-install wih the severn boot-disk, tested once again with the rhl 9 boot-disk and the e100 on the same maschine, no problems. ok, burning the severn cd #1, minimal english install the e100 will be recognized and configured by kudzu but ... ifconfig = ok lsmod = ok modules.conf = ok net-config = ok no firewall = ok # rpm -e iptables lokkit tcpdump = nothing seems to go out only come in route = ok ? 169.254.0.0 ?? added /etc/syscongig/network NOZEROCONF=1 route = ok rebooted, 1000 x network restarted, 100000 x removed the nic, rebooted, 10 x add the nic, rebooted, new config, 10 x always the same there is a link but nothing goes out searched the old hdd with, rhl 7.2, rhl 8.0, win98, win2k, netware5 -> no problems, the intel works propper replaced the intel with an old realtek 10baseT alias eth0 ne2k-pci 1 minute later, the severn is in the lan :-) $ ssh user@severn1 --> $ uname -r 2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl # modinfo ne2k-pci filename: /lib/modules/2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/ne2k-pci. o description: "PCI NE2000 clone driver" author: "Donald Becker / Paul Gortmaker" license: "GPL" parm: debug int, description "debug level (1-2)" parm: options int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Bit 5: full dupl ex" parm: full_duplex int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "full duplex setting(s) (1) # modinfo e100 filename: /lib/modules/2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/e100/e100 .o description: "Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver" author: "Intel Corporation, <linux.nics(a)intel.com>" license: "GPL" parm: TxDescriptors int array (min = 1, max = 16), description "Number of transmit descriptors" parm: RxDescriptors int array (min = 1, max = 16), description "Number of receive descriptors" parm: XsumRX int array (min = 1, max = 16), description "Disable or enabl e Receive Checksum offload" parm: e100_speed_duplex int array (min = 1, max = 16), description "Speed and Duplex settings" parm: ... -- shrek-m

Menus: VNC move from Acc. to Internet group
by Josiah Royse 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I opened this a while ago, I thought the VNC viewer app was easier to find under the "Internet" program menu group than under "Accessories". But that is my opinion, anyone else feel either way? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82864 --Josiah

argh!! burned by buggy pcmcia init script again!
by Robert P. J. Day 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

i can't believe i've burned by the same buggy pcmcia init script yet again. you think i'd learn. or something. quite some time ago, after digging around trying to figure out why my pcmcia was not starting properly after i'd built a new 2.4 kernel, i tracked the problem down to a weird condition check in /etc/init.d/pcmcia (which i'd include here, except pine has just decided to not let me import files. yeah, it's been that kind of day.) in a nutshell, if you want to check that file, the script does two different things depending on the structure of the /lib/modules directory. in one case, if at the top level of a build's /lib/modules directory, there's a .../pcmcia directory, the init script does one thing. if not, then it checks for another directory, .../kernel/drivers/pcmcia. depending on what it finds, it executes some "modprobe" commands in slightly different ways. check for yourself. (the difference involves whether or not the module name to modprobe should have the .o suffix or not.) for the original modules directory, there is *no* top-level pcmcia/ directory, so the correct set of modprobes is called, and my modules are loaded, and networking works, yee ha. but after building a new kernel and modules directory, sure enough, the "make modules_install" *does* install a top-level pcmcia/ directory, which causes the wrong (and non-working) set of modprobe's to be run. damn. damn damn damn. and that would certainly explain why i had no pcmcia_core or ds modules loaded. (side note: this new kernel was, in fact, built with gcc 3.3, so that didn't seem to be a problem). amazingly, the new /lib/modules directory still had the lower-level kernel/drivers/pcmcia directory, so all i did was to remove the top-level pcmcia/ directory to get the old behaviour back upon reboot. there's still a small problem with loading the pcmcia modules, but i'll leave that until the next posting. but what's the rationale behind this weirdness in /etc/init.d/pcmcia? it seems *guaranteed* to cause a pcmcia failure if you build and install a new kernel, because of the structure of the new /lib/modules directory. thoughts? rday

Graphical boot isn't so graphical
by Jesse Keating 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

So I just did an install of Severn, on a system w/ an ATI All in Wonder 7500 Pro... I did not get a graphical boot, although it's enabled in /etc/sysconfig/init and it's not disabled in grub.conf. What could be keeping the graphical boot from happening? -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful?

by Max Clark 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone out there could help me install mysql 4.x on a redhat 10 beta system. Are there rpms out there in the wild? What do I need to modify in order to get the mysql rpm to install correctly? Thanks in advance, Max

severn + 2.6.0-test1 kernel -- can't get wireless working
by Robert P. J. Day 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

the results of more experimentation: so far, i installed severn on my laptop, then the 2.6.0-test1 kernel straight from www.kernel.org. that built and booted. on top of that, i built the patched nvidia driver and got that to work. so far, so good. (side note: the 2.6.0-test2 kernel in this situation is an unmitigated disaster. kernel panic every single time, even when i build it based on the test1 .config file. so i've just given up on that kernel.) what's *not* good is that i've completely failed to get my linksys WCF11 wireless pcmcia card working, and i'm at a complete loss. as a test, i can reboot to the stock kernel (2.4 variation) that comes with severn, and wireless comes up nicely (on eth0, via DHCP from a linksys router here). when i reboot to 2.6.0-test1, i can verify that the card is visible with "cardctl ident". the modules hermes, orinoco and orinoco_cs are loaded. but trying to activate that interface accomplishes nothing. the redhat-config-network tool does see the linksys pcmcia card as the only device on the system, but when i try to configure a wireless interface, the only choice i get is "other wireless card" or something like that. (doing this from memory since i have to reboot back to 2.4 just to get email. argh.) anyone else got past this point? i'm definitely open to suggestions. rday

package whichlist
by Farkas Levente 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

hi, I'd like to see the following packages in the next rh release (of course the latest from everything). these are required for a minimal working soltion which can comparable with windows clients and servers. on the client side: - acrobatreader - gtkdiff for visual diff - ntfs driver - keychain - flash plugin - infrared support (automatic recognition), and gprs support through infrared connection. on the server side: - dovecot imap server (AFAIS is already in the beta), we alredy use it in our production env. with 300 users. - yum as the most usable and free package updater, we use it for a long time. - mdadm since on all raid list everybody suggest to forget about raidtool and use mdadm. - rdiff-backup (with librsync and rsync compiled to use librsync) for incretemntal backup. - openldap - latest nss_ldap and pam_ldap - directory_administrator (support for samba 3 schema). - samba 3 or at least both samba 2.x and 3.x. - freeswan with x509 (since this is the only vpn solution which has linux and windows clients). the best would be if rh kernel contains ipsec and we no longer has to recompile the kernel for freeswan! I'd like to see freeswan 2.01 with x509 or the best a with super freeswan. - l2tpd-0.69-7jdl just my 2c.

29 Jul '03

BitTorrent (the newest version) in Severn does not seem to work anymore. I installed wxPythonGTK-py2.3-2.4.1.2-1.i386.rpm and set it up just like in Shrike but no dice. Anyone else getting this?

unhandled bugs in bugzilla
by Jay Berkenbilt 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

I'm concerned about bugs whose State in bugzilla remains NEW for a long time. I'm afraid that these bugs aren't been noticed and my get overlooked. This has happened to me before, though it happens in a minority of cases. Right now, if I go into bugzilla and click on "My Bugs", I have 11 bugs that come up. Of these, 7 have state "NEW". Two of those have priority "High". I believe that I am very careful not to abuse priority and severity. I set priority to "High" when the fix is trivial (low cost, high value) and we're in a period such as this (beta release before freeze) or when the consequences of the bug are severe but not severe enough to cause a catastrophic failure. Of the seven bugs whose status is NEW, only two are very recent, and those are a few days old. The rest are much older. The oldest has been "NEW" for almost a year, and I posted to it 5 months ago asking politely why there hadn't been any activity. Please understand that I am asking this as an honest question. I sincerely appreciate the effort that goes into making these releases, and understand that a lot of people are up to their ears in work. I mean this message as an expression of concern and request for advice rather than as a complaint or a nag. For example, could there be a problem that certain products' default bug owners are no longer there or are not as responsive as they should be? Could it be that some people are in the habit of paying attention to their bugs but not accepting them so that their state turns into ASSIGNED? We use bugzilla in house for our own bug tracking. I encourage my people to click on the "My Bugs" link regularly to make sure they haven't missed anything. We don't have the daily nag messages for stale NEW bugs enabled, but I bet enabling that would help somewhat. I'd like to figure out a way of making sure bugs I report don't get ignored without becoming a pest. Thanks for any advice. -- Jay Berkenbilt <ejb(a)ql.org> http://www.ql.org/q/

Also many gui based cd writing software still expects scsi emulation or needs to be configured to use IDE devices. In fact, the only cd writing program that recognized IDE CDRW for me was X-CD-Roast - which somehow depends on dev=ATAPI option for cdrecord, which only works with 2.4 kernels. > > rday > > > -- > Rhl-beta-list mailing list > Rhl-beta-list(a)redhat.com > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhl-beta-list >
