gcc for kernel different than current gcc
by Patrice Dumas
Hi,
Currently in rawhide the gcc is gcc-3.4 while the kernel (kernel-2.6.6-1.435)
was compiled with gcc-3.3. As a consequnce, when I try to insmod a module
I build myself (ADSL modem), I get in dmesg:
eagle_usb: version magic '2.6.6-1.435 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.6-1.435 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3'
and a insmod -v leads to 'Invalid module format'.
It maybe a good think to provide (keep) 'automatically' a compatible gcc,
just like how different kernels may coexist (I use yum). Or there could be
another solution...
Of course this is not a serious issue as it should disappear soon (and it
seems to be in compat-gcc).

Netgear MA111 problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm following the instructions for getting the Netgear MA111 from
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/89893.
I am up to the part where I have to enter the path to the kernel source.
When I enter /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435, the config script fails
complaining that while the kernel sources are where I say they are, they
are incomplete and advising me obtain the sources from the likes of
kernel.org
Is there anything missing from the current source tree or am I safe to
download the 2.6.7 tree from kernel org and point the script to that?
TTFN

FC2 X86 Installation Failing
by Janina Sajka
My efforts to install the released FC2 for X86_64 on a dual Opteron system with a Tyan K8S Pro 2882 board are failing. I'm using a SATA drive connected via the on board SIL 3114 controller. It's the only hd on that controller.
My first two attempts aborted during disk formatting. The third and fourth tries got much further--about 20% into the package installation process (with "Everything" selected).
Since I'm using someone else's eyes for the installation, it's a little hard to explain exactly what is on tty3 by way of error messages. Suffice it to say that the install is mounting and using e2fsprog for images of /, /usr, etc. Then all stops.
I can try to get a better error report transcribed, if that would be helpful. But, my main goal is to just get the 64-bit FC2 up and running so that I can compile a kernel that will provide me my eyes-free interface. Remaining resolutions can certainly follow later--this is the first, all important objective.
So, should I give up on the SIL 3114? Should I find an IDE drive for the moment? Or, is there some way to install from the Development tree?
All advice greatly appreciated.
PS: If telnet installs weren't broken, I could do an X86 install (almost) without assistance--but they still are, though we've found the fix and will be reporting it in soon.

Kernel 2.4.22-1.2194.nptl needs testing.
by Dave Jones
In absentia of the changelog for the previous FC1 update kernel to
hit testing, here's a double helping.
2194 should appear in updates-testing in a while[*], and as long as
there's no screams along the lines of "It doesn't boot", it'll get
moved to final updates sometime tomorrow.

Fedora Core 2 Test Update: sysstat-5_0_1-4
by Alan Cox
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-186
2004-06-17
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : sysstat
Version : 5_0_1
Release : 4
Summary : The sar and iostat system monitoring commands.
Description :
This package provides the sar and iostat commands for Linux. Sar and
iostat enable system monitoring of disk, network, and other IO
activity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The startup script would spew an accounting record to the console
on boot. The parsing code contained a (harmless) buffer overrun.
The interrupt parsing code could not properly understand 2.6 interrupt
information, although it happened to normally work. Sysstat was in /usr
but ran before NFS mounts.
Bugzilla entries fixed with this update: #117182, #124035

any chance for a "testing" samba 3.0.4 for FC2?
by Dexter Ang
As the subject says, any chance for at least a "testing" release of
samba 3.0.4 for FC2? Or are we waiting for samba 3.0.5? FC1 already had
3.0.4 update released recently.
Thanks.

cyrus-imap
by seth doty
After upgrading from FC1 to FC2 test 3 i realized that FC2 uses cyrus-imap and not the standard IMAP package that FC1 used and that it doesn't use PAM by default because I can no longer login through IMAP. The server is running fine because I can telnet to it but when atempting to login I get a authentication error. I have looked around at cyrus documentation of the cyrus site and redhat's site but the admin tools (mkimap, cm.user, etc) do not work. I even tried changing the .conf file to pam authentication by changing the method to sasl_passwd_check: pam and I tried shadow. any help getting users back in any way would be appreciated, thanks
