Setting up a DNS server
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Anyone know of any easy to follow instructions of setting up a DNS
server under FC? I'm doing it all from the terminal, so no fancy GUI
interface stuff allowed ;-)

FC4 - LIRC
by Robert La Ferla
Having LIRC in FC4 would really help. It's loaded into the kernel so
it's difficult to build separately which is why I think it should be
included in FC4. Anyone running MythTV, tvtime, Xine, mplayer, etc..
will appreciate it.

Name resolution
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
For some reason, the newest FC3 (vanilla) box on my network can access
everything inside of the network (i.e. on the domains 192.168.2.xxx),
yet won't access anything on the outside world (I can't ping an IP
address or something like www.bbc.co.uk).
The firewall is switched off on the box and I don't have a firewall
running on my router.
The /etc/resolv.conf file has been hand-edited to have the DNS of my ISP
rather than trusting my router.
Any ideas on what is going on with it?

Semperon processors
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
My old motherboard and processor bit the dust at the end of last week
and so I've fitted a Semperon (Athlon changed their x86 processor names
to Semperon - Aths are now all x64) on a Gigabyte GA7N400 board.
Now, if I have the processor set at 1GHz, it is recognised as an Athlon
and will boot happily. If I switch it to be the 2.4GHz Semperon that it
is, I get kernel panics and some very odd noises from the machine
itself.
Any ideas if there is a problem with Semperon processors and the kernel
or is there some way I can get around this with a boot line fix?
I'm on rawhide and the 1109 kernel.

FC3 dell server freezes after Upgrade to FC3 - Assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint()
by Götz Reinicke
Hi,
I recently upgraded a Dell Poweredge 1750 from FC1 to FC3. The system
runs very fine with FC1, but we had to upgrade for some special reasons.
I had the feeling, that the system is somwhow slower and the load is
mutch higher. But beside that the server freezes on Jan. 29. And I have
this last entry in /var/log/messages:
Jan 29 11:39:44 mail kernel: Assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint() at
fs/jbd/checkpoint.c:361: "drop_count != 0 || cleanup_ret != 0"
I've been googling arround, but found nothing that was helping me.
Do you have any ideas?
System is FC3 with latest updates, kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp.
Regards
Götz Reinicke

Icons under latest rawhide
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Yeah, I know, rawhide eats babies...
What's happened to all of my lovely icons. Nautilus is giving the
generic unknown file for folders and the such.
