f10 alpha: disk killer! :-).
by Tom Horsley 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

So, my system sata disk just died. I hope it is merely a conincidence that I recently installed f10 alpha on one of the partitions :-). Now I have to use my Windows box till I get a new disk genned (what an incentive to get the disk replaced!). Fortunately I have a USB drive chock full of backups.

Kernel 2.6.26.2-3.fc8: new PCI message, is this normal??
by Gilbert Sebenste 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Just installed 2.6.26.2-3.fc8 from Koji. I get a warning message upon boot up, just after the kernel prompt which lets me choose which one I want to use. It simply says: PCI: NOT USING MMCONFIG Is this normal? Never saw that message before. Otherwise, everything else seems fine. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste(a)weather.admin.niu.edu *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** *******************************************************************************

Very slow password validation
by Clyde E. Kunkel 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

After rawhide update of 20080726, validation of root password is taking (subjectively) a very long time, about 20-25 seconds. Anyone else seeing this? -- --------------------------------- Regards, Old Fart

On my system, issueing #yum update make me have to download updates with total size : 513 M. Currently I use my HP Nokia 6120 as a modem.

Fedora 10 Alpha doesn't boot to Gnome (X.org) after update
by Valent Turkovic 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi, I have installed Fedora 10 Alpha on two laptops with Intel video cards. Today I did a complete yum update and they both won't start X.org (gnome) any more. Is this a know issue? Should I report a bug? Cheers, Valent. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

usb keyboard disabled?
by Tom Horsley 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

I just typed "reboot" in fedora 10 alpha after updating the kernel, and something apparently disabled my USB keyboard input so hard that it wouldn't function when I got back to the grub screen. It did work once the default fedora 8 kernel booted, so I'm able to type this mail now :-). Has anyone else seen anything like this? I don't really think I ought to do a bugzilla till I see it at least one more time, but I'm curious if it has happened to others.

Odd behavior for yum update with f10a x86_64
by shmuel siegel 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

I upgrade my FC9 to f10a x86_64 on an AMD 3800+ based machine. I was up to date on rawhide as of Sunday. This morning I tried doing yum update kernel*. Test transaction consumed all memory and then failed. This happened twice. Thinking that maybe my problem came from the flash.i386 plugin (don't ask why I thought that) I ran yum remove glibc.i386. The yum update kernel* succeeded. The only other 32bit module that I knowingly had on my machine was wine. I hope that this gives someone some ideas. I don't think that I can easily reproduce the faulty environment.
