Can FC5t2 x86_64 handle onboard VGA and Ethernet...
by dondi_2006 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

...of an ASUS A8N-VM CSM board with nForce 430 and GeForce 6150? first some feedback: 1) yesterday I saw that Anaconda in FC4 x86_64 is impossible to use because it messes up the screen: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-January/msg04315.html 2) later on, I concluded that it looks like a 64 bit Anaconda bug/limit, because the CD *is* good and I *have installed FC4 x86 (32 bit!) on the same system: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-January/msg04447.html 3) However, the onboard ethernet doesn't work yet: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-January/msg04448.html Now the actual questions: *) the answers (list of patches to apply) I got to 3) make me wonder if it wouldn't be quicker (since at this point I already am a beta tester...) to join the FC5t2 testing crow, even because it looks like the only way to have now a 64 bit fedora on my box. What do you think? Does anybody know if the kernel-forcedeth versions in FC5t2 already have all the patches mentioned here for my chipset: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=cc7593a33226a4cf3977a95722… I am fine with being a beta tester and submitting bug reports to real programmers, but frankly I have problems to decode the instructions above and find out all I'd need to do. Helping a bit with FC5 seems more productive, especially in the mid/long term. *) ABOVE ALL, what about the screen messed up? does anybody have an idea of what it could be (on 64 bit only), how to fix it or if it's a problem that's likely to be not in FC5? IMPORTANT: the reason I'm asking instead of just trying FC5 myself is that I'm not on broadband right now. Downloading N cdroms would take me a *lot* of time, so... I'd really hate to waste some more days (seriously!) on it if somebody can already tell me that it wouldn't surely work for some reason... Thanks in advance! Hope to join you FC5 testers soon, D.

And the url / path to provide for an http install would then be this, right: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64/… TIA, D.

A8N-SLI problems on upgrade
by Ivan Gyurdiev 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi, I ran into tons of issues trying to upgrade my motherboard (and other problems). They're mostly worked around now, but here they are, if people are interested (will provide more info if you ask - this is essentially a rawhide system with all packages installed): - the nv driver doesn't work, not even a little bit. I get vertical stripes on the screen that change color. This is with a Nvidia 6800 GS (single card) 256, PCI-E (that would be NV41). It's detected properly, but I get the stripes. As a result, the Fedora graphical installer does not work for me. The text installer seemed garbled, so I couldn't use that either. Rhgb doesn't work, and neither does X. I am now back to using my favorite nvidia driver, which I had to patch for the latest kernels, and make work on modular X. I have yet to figure out how to properly rpmbuild the 64-bit version. - Then I decided to play with my SATA drive, and add it to LVM. This is a western digital caviar, 200 MB, SATA II. That was a mistake. Ext3online froze twice trying to resize itself following an lvm resize (it did work the second time I tried it). On reboot I got a kernel panic, because the initrd didn't pull in sd_mod. I tried reinstalling the kernel many times, and failed to add that module to initrd every single time. Then I hacked mkinitrd to add it, and now things work. - My monitor was not detected - it's a Sun Microsystems GDM20E20, and kudzu did not set its modes properly (in fact, I think kudzu segfaults right now). - My network was not detected/configured by kudzu (is it supposed to be)? I'm really not sure if kudzu actually works at all on my machine anymore. Then I configured it manually. Then eth0 and eth1 got flipped for some reason. I configured them according to what I see aliased in modprobe.conf, but the kernel decided to bind them in the exact opposite order for some reason. - I also had the silly idea that I could upgrade from i386 to x86_64, as opposed to reinstalling. No such luck. I managed to do it eventually, after working with the rescue CD quite a bit. First, you can't run any 64-bit binaries until you've installed the 64-bit kernel. The initrd for this kernel is made client-side, and the command /usr/bin/strip fails to work properly on 64-bit modules until upgraded to its x86_64 equivalent. This means that no modules of any kind get added to the initrd for a 64-bit kernel when installed on a 32-bit system. Then there's the issue of rpm not understanding any multiarch until you upgrade it. Then after upgrading it it does understand multiarch, but gets 2 copies of every single package, as upgrade no longer upgrades.... so now I have to prune the .i386 ones. Fun things... yum still doesn't get the basearch right, I probably haven't gotten to the package that makes it understand yet. ... more info later, I have to run. However, I think there's lots of room for improvement...

System-config-securitylevel confused :-D
by Roger Grosswiler 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hey, after being glad having iptables back, i started system-config-securitylevel....oh, oh, what a mess.... if i click ssh, it activates automatically also http, clicking on telnet does nothing at all... i think it is worth some rework :-D btw. great stuff, now we can choose the protocol for open ports, but i would appreciate also having an option, where i can allow access to only an ip-adress or a network-range...

Or small extra files to provide via floppy? TIA, D.
