Problems with Xen (kernel-xen0-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4) and Intel Corporation 82562ET/EZ/GT/GZ Ethernet
by Keith Sharp
Hello,
I have been trying to get Xen working with the most recent kernel builds
from Rawhide. When I boot using Xen and kernel-xen0 the network fails
and I get tracebacks on the console.
Booting starts as expected but starting eth0 seems to take a little
longer than normal. The problems begin when NTP is started, booting
pauses here for quite a few seconds and then a traceback appears.
Booting eventually continues with these pauses and tracebacks. When the
system is finally up I can login is root and the network appears to be
up (according to ifconfig) but I cannot ping any other local devices and
the RX and TX values for eth0 remain at zero.
Attached is a console log from booting - the interesting stuff is
towards the end, the output of lspci, and my grub.conf
I am running FC4T1 with kernel and xen updated from Rawhide:
kernel-xen0-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
kernel-xenU-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
The Ethernet port works fine under the standard SMP kernel.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Keith.

Install FC4 test2 on PPC - Dual Proc G5?
by Joe.Hoot＠itec.suny.edu
I just downloaded the fedora core test2 for ppc. I rebooted my PPC Dual
G5. I was prompted by yaboot and hit enter to except the default kernel
"linux." The kernel starts to load and then dies. I shutdown the machine
and started it back up and at yaboot, typed linux nofb. It started to
load again and then died again. Here is the output when it stops booting:
opening display /pci@0,fd000000/NVDA,Parent@10/NVDA,Display-B@1... ok
copying 0F device tree...done
starting cpu /cpus/PowerPC,G5...failed: 0000000

Welcome to OPen Firmware, the system time and date is: 16:49:16 04/21/2005
To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return.
To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return.
Release keys to continue!
Any suggestions? Is this a problem with booting dual proc g5's? Is there
any way to disable SMP with a kernel parameter that can be passed so that
I can install the system? Is there an SMP kernel available to boot? Is
the dual proc the issue I am having or is it something else?
Thanks,
Joe

CD boot problem with FC4test1 AND test2
by Oliver Kahl
Since nobody else have post problems with the boot process,
execpt people with a dell c600 laptop a one other, I would
ask this way.
Is there anybody else, who don´t saw the "boot:" promt
from the installation/help menue after boot from the
first cd, and/or results in an dot "." in the next line
afer press any key?
Some of the dicussions about this you can found here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-April/msg01347.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-April/msg00959.html
After a few tests, I think the problem could be brake
down to the point, that it doesen´t work with the actually
version of isolinux 3.07 for the boot process.
It can be a problem with a bug/incompatibility in the dell´s
BIOS, but I´m also found this guy with a complete differen hardware,
an Via C3 system, more about this found here:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-March/004967.html
http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-April/005012.html
>>> I don´t know if the newer version 3.08 pre XXX fix this, but
with a substitution of ISOLINUX 2.11 FROM AN OLDER FC3
installation cd I could SOLVE THIS PROBLEM completely! <<<
Only the change of the isolinux.bin file is enough.
So my question for the fedora team. Is it very nessesary to
use the newer version of isolinux or is it possible to go
one step back to an 2.xx version? I know, since 3.xx there
where many new thinks added but did we realy need them?
Many other distributions use the 2.xx tree.

Openoffice media player
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
First of all: what is this thing? Is it some kind of system to play
movies in presentations etc? In that case: great!
Then: It claims support for a dozen different media formats, such as:
AIF audio
AU audio
AVI
CD audio
MIDI audio
MPEG Audio
MPEG Video
Quictime video
Vivo video
WAVE audo
Is this correct? How does it play contnent? The best would probably be
gstreamer (adding a gstreamer plugin would then make it work in
openoffice, totem etc.).
It is found in (writer as example) Tools -> Media Player

Fortune Program -Moving->RE: Wanda is broken
by Senthil_OR＠Dell.com

This brings up a very important topic for discussion.
Namely why is Fedora not shipping fortune. Agreed there might be some
licensing issues.
But a program like fortune could be easily written and licensed under
GPL.
And I guess few will be already available.
Just check with the number of .sig quotes in various mailing lists.
There you see the usage of fortune cookie.
It's a useful program and I would like to vote for its inclusion with
Fedora, so that users don't have the trouble to download it separately.
Please provide your suggestions and how can we go about.
Thanks!

fsck.ext3 different?
by Rajmund Krivec
Is it possible that FC2 fsck.ext3 wrill not be able to verify
the FC4 partitions, and therefore it will not be able to mount
FC4 partitions into FC2? (Multiboot, cross mounting of user
areas while transitioning).
FC2 could not boot smoothly while a FC4T2 partition was in
/etc/fstab.

Stealthing Ports in system-config-securitylevel was: SSH brute force attack
by Roger Grosswiler
Hi,
Taking again the thread about the SSH brute force attacks, but with a
question.
We have a nice tool called system-config-securitylevel, why isn't it
possible to indicate some ips or ranges there an click to "stealth" so,
this port is just visible to the indicated ip-adresses??

formatting your hard drive for testing
by Kenneth Geddings Jr.
i want to set up my hard drive to have three partitions one is the
windows xp home partition, one will be my main Linux partition (for
fedora core ) and the other will be a testing ground partition so i can
test out latest fedora core tests and or try out other Linux
distributions with it. i am going to use the mandrake installer to
format and resize my hardrive but what should i set the two Linux
partitions as what file system? and will it be easy to delete and
overwrite a Linux partition that i will use for testing?
thanks
