Fedora :: Downgrade F12 To F10 - RAID And LVM
Jun 30, 2010
As I have not been able to resolve the problems with BackupPC after the upgrade (see post [URL]) it seems that my best option is to restore my system to the state when it was working OK and then do an upgrade to F13. I did a clean install when I upgraded to F12 and took the opportunity to reconfigure the disks to include some new drives into the RAID and LVM.
This means that the disks and partitions are not the same as when I was last running F10. I have the dumps taken at that time so I propose to install F10 from the DVD into the new structure and then restore the partitions from the dumps under single user. The new partitions are formatted ext4 and previously they were ext3, not sure if F10 supported ext4.
I know that there will be some directories and files which I must not overwrite:
/etc/fstab
/dev
some parts of /boot
I can do this with restore -i.

I've tried to install Fedora 11, both 32 and 64 on my main machine.It could not install as it stops on the first install window. I've already filed a bug but really haven't seen any feed back yet.The bug has something to do with Anaconda and the Raid array but I really can't tell.
I have an Intel Board (see signature). I am running intel raid software under W7 currently.It works fine. But, I'm wondering, when I attempt to install F!!, is my current raid set-up causing problems? Do I need to get rid of the intel raid software and use a Fedor/Linux raid program to manage the raid array??

I'm unable to compile ruby 1.9.X and I found out it was related to openssl, although it seems there's a patch available for ruby I don't know how to apply it so I was thinking on downgrading to openssl 0.9.8n
I'm using F13 btw, I'm still posting it here as openssl 1.0.0 was first introduced on F12, the other major distros are still using openssl 0.9.8k so there's no much information on the problem

I am using Fedora12 and I'm running the radeon graphics driver, my card is ATi 8500 Radeon and I can't play hardly any games or use applications that require 3D Acceleration. The catalyst driver that I need for my ATi is too old to support Fedora 12 Xorg.is there a way to downgrade Xorg so I can install my cards drivers?
If there is how can I do this. If I run a 3D game of any kind It either works for a while and locks up the system where I can't even telnet into it to shut it down, or it won't start the game or App. I know I have some acceleration due to my glx gears, I could get into great detail of what I can and can't do.
Bottom line is since the video card is too old, not even the generic radeon driver allows me full freedom so there must be a way to install the other X.org without breakage
Code:
GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI R200 (R200 514C) 20090101 AGP 4x TCL
GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 7.7.1-DEVEL
GL_VENDOR = Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
[code]....
The R200 Radeon driver for my ATi in Fedora12 is not fully compatible with my video card, I was told this on an IRC channel a while ago, I think it stopped at Radeon 9600 ATi.

I have a problem with my system. Fedora 12 64bit I was tinkering with enabling rawhide and upgrade firefox(3.6 / namoroka) and pidgin. Then I disabled repo. downgrade pidgin again with its dependencies (glib2 or was it glibc2). Long story short, the next time i boot up, there are a lot of error / FAILED. Boot into run level 3 is fine. But i cannot use yum and it give error regarding libglib.so or something and phython need it. Locate found those item, so it might be because the version is wrong because of those upgrade / downgrade process. Sorry if the problem isn't clear, but can anyone give direction what should i provide.

I've recently installed a Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, but it currently doesn't have support from any open source drivers (including MESA's experimental DRI drivers). The only other option would be ATI's Catalyst drivers, but 9.12 doesn't support Xorg 7.5 at the moment (the drivers disable Xorg; leaving a terminal only setup).
The question I've got is that is it possible to downgrade Xorg to 7.4 as a temp workaround and if so, how easy would it be to revert back to 7.5 afterwards.

I recently installed Fedora 14 in an unused partition after having used Fedora 12 for some time. I used Add/Remove Software to download and install emacs successfully. However, there appears to be a bug in this version of emacs -- the menu bar grabs focus and will not give it back without cllicking on a menu item. I find this bug very annoying and would like to scrap 23.2 in favor of another version. According to emacs bug reports, this bug has been fixed in emacs 23.3 which is available right now from the emacs home page, but only as a tarball.
How long does it usually take for a new version, such as emacs 23.3, to become available as a Fedora rpm? Would it be possible for me to downgrade by installing the emacs 23.1 rpm? If so, how do I get it? (Fedora's Add/Remove Software lists only the 23.2 version for me.)

Could any RAID gurus kindly assist me on the following RAID-5 issue?I have an mdadm-created RAID5 array consisting of 4 discs. One of the discs was dropping out, so I decided to replace it. Somehow, this went terribly wrong and I succeeded in marking two of the drives as faulty, and the re-adding them as spare.
Now the array is (logically) no longer able to start:
mdadm: Not enough devices to start the array.Degraded and can't create RAID ,auto stop RAID [md1]
I was able to examine the disks though:
Code:
root@127.0.0.1:/etc# mdadm --examine /dev/sdb2
/dev/sdb2:
Magic : a92b4efc
Version : 00.90.00
code....
Code:
mdadm --create --assume-clean --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2
As I don't want to ruin the maybe small chance I have left to rescue my data, I would like to hear the input of this wise community.

I recently installed Fedora 10, having chosen that version in order to be able to use the packages created by the Planet CCRMA group for doing audio recording (they don't have F11 packages ready yet, AFAIK). Last weekend I got a prompt to upgrade my system, and I naively accepted it, not even realizing that it was an upgrade to F11.
The upgrade didn't work, for reasons that I still don't know (probably a video driver issue), but since I know the F10 installation worked, and Planet CCRMA is not up to F11 yet, I'd just like to downgrade myself back to F10.
Can I just re-install Fedora 10 from the DVD I used before, or will the F11 installation cause problems? I haven't really done any work that I mind losing, so I'm not too concerned about overwriting my previous installation.

I'm running Fedora 15 x86_64 on a Dell Latitude E6500. VMware Workstation won't run if I have glibmm24-2.28.1-1.fc15.x86_64 installed. I managed to downgrade to glibmm24-2.24.2-1.fc14.1.x86_64, and VMWare Workstation worked. Then, I did a "yum upgrade". Now vmware won't run. I tried to downgrade glibmm back to the 24-2.24 version, but I get the message:

I want to downgrade my Intel driver to version 2.11.0. I don't know what version I have at the moment but I have installed Fedora 15 (Lovelock). The reason is that Office 2007 has graphical bugs with Intel drivers that are newer than 2.11. So, will my gnome shell work fine after the downgrade and how to downgrade? I have searched a lot from google but didn't find any solutions.

I installed F13 on a system by doing and install from an F12 Live USB key and then doing an update do F13. Unfortunately the upgrade failed to update a package because it thought the F12 package was more recent. I can't just do a clean install of F13 because I'm in Massachusetts and the system is in Chicago so I need to be able to fix this remotely.
I tried to install Google Chrome. I'm getting the following error, package nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.4-19.fc12.x86_64 (which is newer than nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.4-17.fc13.i686) is already installed As you can see the F12 package is -19 and the F13 package is -17 which is confusing yum. Is there a way to force yum to install the F13 package?

I have a raid5 on 10 disk, 750gb and it have worked fine with grub for a long time with ubuntu 10.04 lts. A couple of days ago I added a disk to the raid, growd it and then resized it.. BUT, I started the resize-process on a terminal on another computer, and after some time my girlfriend powered down that computer!
So the resize process cancelled in the middle and i couldn't acess any of the HDDs so I rebooted the server.
Now the problem, the system is not booting up, simple black with a blinking line. Used a rescue CD to boot it up, finised the resize-process and the raid seems to be working fine so I tried to boot normal again. Same problem. Rescue cd, updated grub, got several errors: error: unsupported RAID version: 0.91. I have tried to purge grub, grub-pc, grub commmon, removed /boot/grub and installed grub again. Same problem.
I have tried to erased mbr (# dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=446 count=1) on sda (ide disk, system), sdb (sata, new raid disk). Same problem. Removed and reinstalled ubuntu 11.04 and is now getting error: no such device: (hdd id). Again tried to reinstall grub on both sda and sdb, no luck. update-grub is still generating error about raid id 0.91 and is back on a blinking line on normal boot. When you'r resizeing a raid MDADM changed the ID from 0.90 to 0.91 to prevent something that happend happened. But since I have completed the resize-process MDADM have indeed changed the ID back to 0.90 on all disks.
I have also tried to follow a howto on a similar problem with a patch on [URL] But I cant compile, various error about dpkg. So my problem is, I cant get grub to work. It just gives me a blinking line and unsupported RAID version: 0.91.

I am trying to connect a RAID Box to the server via LSI 8880EM2 RAID controller.The raid box is FUjitsu Externus DX60 with raid 1 configured.The server is Fujitsu Primergy SX300 S5 with LSI 8880EM2 RAID card.The external raid box is being recognised by the raid controllers bios.
The server runs CentOS 5.5 64bit. I have installed the megaraid_sas driver from LSI website and MegaCLI utility but CentOS still fails to see the box.MegaCLI utility, when launched from CentOS, recognises the raid box, CentOS does not(no mapping being created in /dev).
I have also tried to create a logical RAID0 HDD on one physical HDD(as seen by MegaCLI) with MegaCLI utility in CentOS.The result was success and the new logical drive could have been used, but when restarting the server, the controllers' bios fails with an error (not surprised(one logical RAID0 on one physical HDD)) and configuration is being erased.
Has anyone tried connecting 8880EM2 controller to a raid box with raid configured on the box, running it all under CentOS and what were the results.

I have installed Ubuntu on my m1530 since 8.04 and currently dual boot Win7 and 10.10. I would like to dual boot on my PC, but I have run into a problem. I am not a pro at Ubuntu, but this problem I can not solve by reading forums like I have in the past.
I realize this is a common problem, but I have noticed people having success.
I have a M4A87TD EVO MB with two Seagate drives in Raid 0. (The raid controller is a SB850 on that MB) I use the raid utility to create the raid drive that Windows7x64 uses. I have 2 partitions and 1 unused space. Partition 1 is Windows, partition 2 is for media, and the remaining unused space is for Ubuntu.
I am running ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 off a Cruzer 16GB flash drive that was installed via Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.1.4.
My problem like so many others is that when I load into Ubuntu, gparted detects two separate hard drives instead of the raid. I read that this is because kpartx is not installed on 10.10. I then went in LiveCD mode and downloaded kpartx from Synaptic Manager. Gparted still reported two drives. I opened terminal and run a few commands with kpartx. I received an error. (Forgive me I didn't write it down, but I believe it said something about a communication error. I will try again later and see.)
Currently I am reflashing the Cruzer with a persistence of 4GB. I am not familiar with this process, but I understand that my LiveCD boot will save information I download to it. I decided to try this method because I was going to install kpartx and reboot to see if this made a difference.
I am looking for any suggestions on a different method or perhaps someone to tell me that the raid controller or some hardware isn't supported. I did install ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64 on my flash drive, but fail to get past detecting my CD-ROM drive since it's not plugged in. If this method is viable, I will plug it in. I also watched the ..... video were a guy creates Raid 0 with the alternated CD, but it wasn't a dual boot and didn't use a raid controller from a MB.

So I decided to build a server using two HDDs and after checking the net I decided to go with Software RAID.Before I mess around and go ahead and buy two 500 GB HDD, I decided to try it out first in virtual box.(my system is F13 64bit with 4GB)
I set up a virtual machine with 2 X 10GB HDD.Mount the live CD (f13 32bit).Run regular install > choose custom layout and do as follows: SDA & SDB will both have Software RAID 500 MB and another software RAID of about 9500 MB I will have md0 /boot (sda1 & sda2 = 500 MB) And another md0 having LVM group loaded with / + SWAP I choose to install boot loader on md0 the first time and I receive the following error when I boot from HDD: FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE I tried installing boot loader on sda same thing.

I hope this is the right section, it looks like though. I have a small nas ( via artigo a2000 ) with 2 sata hd 1tb each with raid 1 and lvm on top configured and working great.
sda1 and sdb1 ==> md0 raid1 for /boot
sda2 and sdb2 ==> md1 raid1 for swap
sda3 and sdb3 ==> md2 raid1 as physical volume then volume group and lvs on top ( / is a logial volume of these )
I wish to upgrade the current fedora 12 32bit installation I have on it doing a fresh install. But because I have a lot of data on md2 ( 600GB worth ) which I don't want to copy across somewhere else first, I need to know how ( i am pretty sure i can ) to mount md2 during the installation. This way I can use the data I already have on it.
