Anyone know what this means?
by Adam Hough
I get this from dmesg running FC5 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp. The machine
seems to be stable (was crashing very frequently before this kernel in
FC). Also yes I know to boot with noapci as a kernel parameter to most
likely get rid of this error. I am still curious as to what it means.
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is
not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is
not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3
Also hyperthreading is disabled in the bios as the machine refuses to
boot if it is enabled with this kernel and all previous FC5 kernels
panic on this machine. Memory is fine also no errors after ~90 hours of
memtest86+. The motherboard and processors are new also.

Cursor problem
by Астахов Петр
Hello!
I bought motherboard Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 on chipset GeForce 6150 and
installed FC5. I can't see cursor in X. When computer loading, and rhgb
show the progress of loading, I see cursor and everything OK. When
computer is loaded and X started, there is no viewable cursor on the
screen. I move mouse, all necessary menus etc are highlighted, but no
cursor. I update kernel and xorg - result the same. I installed nvidia
drivers for video from livna - but result the same - no cursor.
What shall I do?
With best regard, Peter (Zebar) Astakhov

dump/restore (or "star") and SELinux problems
by Kayvan A. Sylvan
Hi folks,
I am trying again. I haven't gotten an answer that works yet and hoping that
people who know more about SELinux and Fedora can see this and suggest
a solution (or at least a way to investigate).
My goal: To be able to reszie a partition (or rearrange filesystems) without
losing any data or meta-data.
parted is useless, since it won't handle the xattr filesystem data.
I used dump to create a filesystem backup, then used the FC5 Install DVD
to go into rescue mode and restore the dump. That seem to work okay for
the file data. However, for each and every file, I get the message:
restore: lsetxattr ./filename_being_restored failed: Invalid argument
Using "ls -Z", I see that all the files end up being unlabeled (or they
are in the unlabeled_t context).
These files were all set up in Fedora FC4, using the targeted policy.
When I am booting up using the FC5 Install DVD ("linux rescue"), the SELinux
startup shows:
security: 3 users, 6 roles, 1161 types, 135 bools, 1 sens, 256 cats
security: 55 classes, 38679 rules
SELinux: Completing initialization.
SELinux: Setting up existing superblocks.
SELinux: initialized (dev loop0, type squashfs), not configured for labeling
SELinux: initialized (dev usbfs, type usbfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev ramfs, type ramfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev ramfs, type ramfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev tmpfs, type tmpfs), uses transition SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev debugfs, type debugfs), uses genfs_contexts

SELinux: initialized (dev futexfs, type futexfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev pipefs, type pipefs), uses task SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev sockfs, type sockfs), uses task SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev cpuset, type cpuset), not configured for labeling
SELinux: initialized (dev proc, type proc), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev bdev, type bdev), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev rootfs, type rootfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev sysfs, type sysfs), uses genfs_contexts
I have also tried using "star" with the following args:
star -v -c -xdev -sparse -acl -link-dirs level=0 -wtardumps \
f=root.star -C / .
And then, when booted into the rescue mode, did the following to extract:
star -xpU -restore f=root.star
This produced the same result. The files end up being unlabeled.
I am wondering if I have to have the same SELinux policy loaded while
in the rescue mode in order to avoid the "lsetxattr: invalid argument"
error? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks for any help!

possibly hacked
by olga@urbantimes.net
Hi,
I wrote about kernel errors which somebody pointed out was because the
server was running out of memory.
Now I found the following which makes me think that that server may have
been compromized.
Here's what I get when I issued: netstat -nap
tcp 0 0 131.x.x.x:38423 72.x.x.x:80 ESTABLISHED 5226/ps x
tcp 0 0 131.x.x.x:38420 72.x.x.x:80 ESTABLISHED 5365/ps x
About a hundred instances of that program 'ps x' running.
Also here's what ps -ef produced:
apache 6323 1 0 10:30 ? 00:00:00 ps x
apache 6324 1 0 10:30 ? 00:00:00 ps x
apache 6326 1 0 10:30 ? 00:00:00 ps x
apache 6328 1 0 10:30 ? 00:00:00 ps x
apache 6330 1 0 10:30 ? 00:00:00 ps x
Again there are a lot of these?
Any insight anyone?
Thank you.

What is the proper way to restart udev?
by Steven W. Orr
I found /sbin/udevstart but there is no udevstop. Can I kill -1 the
running udevd, or do I kill -9 the udevd followed by a udevstart, or do I
have to reboot?
TIA

New install of FC6, httpd won't start at boot
by linuxmaillists@charter.net
httpd fails at boot with no message as to why it failed.
I run
]# service httpd start
and get
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 170
of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot
load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so into
server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
[FAILED]
I committed the line and the same thing happened on the next
line.
Someone said that mod_access.so does not exist from FC5 on
so why is this in the conf file if that is correct?
I don't know what else to check to get httpd to start.
Any help will be appreciated,
Jack

BUG: spinlock wrong CPU on CPU#1, fgBT878/1849 (Not tainted)
by Alan McIvor
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a device driver from FC2 to FC5 and am running
into the problem shown below. This is on a hyperthreading P4 3GHz
running kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp. It also happens using kernel
2.6.16-1.2096_FC5smp. There are 16 devices in the machine. For each
there is a fgBT878 process, running at the max SCHED_FIFO
priority. If I reduce the number of devices to 1 or 2, the problem
doesn't appear to happen (i.e., with 16 devices the panic happens
pretty much straight away, with 1 or 2 devices I have run for an
hour). I have no problems with a non-SMP kernel.
What sort of errors should I be looking for in my driver code?
Thanks

x0vncserver HowTo
by Jamie Bohr
After logging into X (KDE) I start x0vncserver. I tried several options
(-display=:0) but none seem to resolve my issue. From a remote (or the
local system) I try to connect to the server using vncviewer hostname:0, I
get Connection refused. I can telnet hostname 5998 and get a responce. I
have googled around and found nothing. I am missing something just not sure
what? How do I connect to a VNC server?
I am finding I can not connect to any VNC session (not even :1 after
starting it) yet I can telnet to the port. Any input would be greatly
appreciated.
