Fedora Installation :: Installers Crash With Realtek 8111DL Enabled ?
Oct 27, 2009
I have a Biostar TA785GE which as I understand it, has a Realtek 8111DL on-board.
Booting with F11 32-bit DVD, and the F12 Live CD crashes before any user input, with indecipherable text on-screen (text mode, not X11).
Symptoms were the same with the Fedora 11 32-bit installation DVD, the Fedora 12 Live 32-bit CD and the CentOS 64-bit install DVD.
Booting with "linux text" mode (w/CentOS DVD) shows a kernel panic in ":r8169:rtl8169_init_one+0x369/0x9d4" from "pci_device_probe+0x100/0x180". I'll have to shutdown again to try the Fedora CD/DVDs, but if there's a different panic I'll post that tomorrow.
Disabling the on-board NIC allowed the boot to proceed, and get as far as detecting the hard drive partitions (where I stopped it since Ubuntu is installed).
Ubuntu 9.04 Workstation(Desktop?) install DVD worked fine, and I've installed it and am using it to enter this.
From Ubuntu 9.04 on this hardware: "uname -r" shows

So, my question: if I disable the NIC and install (alongside Ubuntu), will I be able to get the 8111DL working with a Fedora kernel?

I'm new to Fedora and just installed the latest version on my Compaq Presario CQ56. Everything except for the WirelessLan seems to be working. The driver is missing, which I've already downloaded and when trying to run the "make" command it tries to cd into the following directory:/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686/build
whereas the build folder is actually a dangling symlink which it for some reason can't access. Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?

I opened a bug for this one in December, but it's not getting much attention as yet, so I thought maybe the crew here could take a whack at it. Here's the text, slightly modified with minor clarifying updates.
Description of problem: When booting from CD burned with Fedora-14-x86_64-netinst.iso, grub starts but when handing off to kernel, text appears in upper left corner of screen and system locks up, requiring power-off to be performed to return functionality.
In testing, grub itself has always worked without visible flaw, and the various built-in functions are accessible (menu editing, command line, etc.). It's just once tries to go any further that it breaks.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): unknown
How reproducible: Always reproducible
Steps to Reproduce:Download Fedora-14-x86_64-netinst.iso and burn to disc Select optical drive from Dell Latitude E6510 notebook from boot options menu Allow boot process to proceed
Actual results: System lock after displaying the following text:
Code:
Additional info: System is running BIOS revision A06 (latest as of today). CPU is Intel Core i7 Q720, and memory total is 4GB. Grub identifies 640K lower and 3,339,004K upper memory (commas inserted for clarity). Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit installation performed properly in UEFI mode.

We know that each OS has it's own installer which takes care of installation process. The first step in any installation process is detecting the system platform architecture and hardwares such as CPU, RAM, VGA, Mouse, Keyboard, Hard Disk,... so it can act based on system configuration and do a clean install, now my question is: "How an installer can do this for the first time?".
I another word: "How lspci/hwinfo/prtconf/kudzu/... can gather those amount of information about hardwares?" (Yes! all of these commands will read some files for gathering those informations! but I need to know who and how created those files)
1- Note that, if we have a binary which compiled for a X86 architecture then it won't work on a Sparc system!
2- OpenSolaris can do that!

I would like to know if provisions for cryptographic algorithms, especially things like digital signature of packages/applications etc are a native feature of any linux package installer/package manager.
Another question is: Do all linux based systems natively support cryptography? if yes, what engines do they use? Do they all use openssl or do they use high level java based engines like Harmony(Apache) or Bouncy castle?
I have an ubuntu 10.10 and I know openssl support is already provided. However I want to know if any system level program actually uses it or not.

I have 6GB of RAM and I'm planning to install Fedora 14 32-bit to achieve a higher degree of compatibility. Does fedora automatically download and install a PAE enabled kernel when it detects more than 4GB of RAM (Just like Ubuntu)?

uring its installation I faced the same problem as now: because my default sound card is gone and I am using an external one, during the installation, everythnig goes fine untill the first try for boot of the system, when the blue lines loads, loads, and stop on about 80%.I was told by specialist that the reason fot this is that the hardware check is failing and that this is why the system can not load. He disabled my sound card so to Fedora not to check for it (I don't know how) and installed Fedora 13. Now I am using it. And I am using an external sound card as well and I have sound working.
But now I want to instakll Fedora 14. And i tried and the same happened again!!! After installation, the blue bars loads, alods, untill abou t 80% and then stop!Please, tell me what to do! I have no connecion to the specialist now but I want to get Fedora 14 nstalled, and working with sound. This is the problem - that I have only external sound card

I currently run windows 7, I am interested in dual booting, upon burning the .iso to the disc using imgburn, I had a few problems with the installer when I ran the live disc, I'll assume it was personal causes, I googled several things for a simple solution, I went with using the Disk Manager in Windows 7 to shrink my current partition which I only have one which is running Win 7 on 140 GB's, using the shrink function in windows I unallocated 20 GB of that partition, I used this option because the option in F11's installer would not work at all. I rebooted from disc, loading the distro, and run the installer via desktop choose the use free space option and I got an error crash when it tries to execute this option which isnt the only time I got this error bug causing me to exit the installer, I copied the debug information in the details, I hope this is something simple because F11 isn't worth this much time.
Code:
01:08:53 DEBUG : DeviceTree.handleUdevDeviceFormat: name: sda1 ;
01:08:55 DEBUG : NTFS.supported: supported: False ;
01:08:55 DEBUG : PartitionDevice._setFormat: sda1 ;
01:08:55 DEBUG : PartitionDevice._setFormat: sda1 ; current: None ; type: ntfs ;
01:08:55 DEBUG : DeviceTree.addUdevDevice: name: sda2 ;

I was running preupgrade and while it was downloading packages the system was suspended and then shut off. When I brought it back up and tried to run preupgrade again it would not finish the download it just said 'Download complete. Reboot.' So I did bit nothing happened. I tried running it again but still nothing.
I then ran 'yum clean all' and then tried preupgrade again and then it tried to download again but once it goes to the download part it just says its done and says to reboot.

Just downloaded the x86_64 iso, copied it to my USB stick and added a grub4dos entry for direct booting.
Code:
title Fedora 15 x86_64
find --set-root /linux/fedora64.iso
map /linux/fedora64.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
[Code].....
While it does mention nouveau, and I do use Nvidia graphics (PCIe GT 240) I believe the cause may be something else. Googling around leads me to a couple of forum threads that seem to relate to the core series of Intel processors, but I'm at a loss. I've also searched this forum however the search seems to either bring up every result under the sun and non seem to apply or no results at all. I know the card's supported as Ubuntu works flawlessly. I also tried booting in safe graphics mode, however the exact same thing happens.
I doubt using a USB stick in this manor would cause this problem, but if you suggest it i'll install from physical media.
I would post logs, however the shell it drops to seems to be severly limited (lacking reboot, even).

I run ubuntu, 2 partion, one primary for / , one for /home and ofc swap.When I run the Livecd, at the partition step I do:
-Custom
-Select my / partition to install
-When I select next I get the error "blah blah, must be probably a bug...." and system crashes.
After system crach I can't boot into Ubuntu or anything, it gets me on the "error 11 ( think is 11 ) grub> " screen.Also, I think its something with my nouveau drivers, I think i get an error when boots the LiveCD something like "fudc...". It happens really fast and I can't read it properly.I did this procedure twice to write the errors, but it happens too fast to check them out. Also, is there a way to prepare the system before installing the Fedora, to avoid these errors?

I'm running Fedora 15 with current updates and kernel. I do not have anything special or non-standard about my configuration or setup. I use grsync to sync my home folder files to a remote rsync server on my network. I've checked my hard drives and my memory and everything else I can think. Here is the problem:
grsync will run for some time and once it nears completion it will crash. This, however, is no standard crash. It literally shuts my computer "OFF". I have shared the remote rsync folder through CIFS as well and I can copy those exact same files through nautilus with drag and drop without issue. I have had a few occasions where the rsync process will complete without issue, but this is a rare occasion. Since it powers my computer completely off I do not enjoy the luxury of having any log files or messages to attempt to diagnose from.

I have been playing with Fedora for about a week and half. I installed Fedora 12 from a live CD that I created with the ISO I downloaded.
Since installing it I have enabled RPM Fusion for codecs, also installed a couple of rpms from ATRPMS by temporarily enabling it.
What puzzles me is that I have a large number of packages that yum tells me came from rawhide, yet I never enabled rawhide.
You will see below my list of repos. I am attaching the full list of packages installed.

I have a Samsung N130 with a Realtek 8192 wifi card (possibly 8192e, I'm not sure) and I am trying to run Fedora 12 on it. I used to run Ubuntu until trying their latest beta and realizing it's not very good, so I looked for something else. Ubuntu was at least easy to get the wifi working with just a few quick commands that were written out, word for word, in order, on the Ubuntu forums. I tried openSUSE on here and it didn't have wifi working out of the box either but people on their forums refused to give me actual instructions and just kept bumping me from thread to thread with people giving vague advice or else just telling me I was looking in the wrong place. I'm hoping that someone can give me clear and detailed instructions on how to get this wifi card working. Keep in mind that I am coming from Ubuntu and so I'm not super comfortable in CLI, if I need to do some CL stuff I will need clear and detailed instructions on how to do that.

Has anyone successfully installed the driver for this sound card? I'm interested in obtaining the 5.1 sound through coaxial S/PDIF but I am far from getting there. The manufacturer has a driver for linux but I cannot build it because of a deprecated package in 9.10 release (alsa-utils). I tried to force an install of the package but I ran into other errors. Right now I sometimes get sound (not 5.1) but it's far from being reliable. At this moment I get no sound through the coaxial output without even restarting the machine so I have no idea what happened.
PS: My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-M78SM-S2H with a GeForce 8200 chipset.

Supported chipsets:
8188
8191
Terry Polzin on the Fedora list today posted a request for help with getting a Realtek 8188S(U) working. I replied saying that I had a similar device and shared my experiences.
I told him that there is a driver in staging which supports the device, but that Fedora only ships quality working drivers by default, so no staging drivers are included. It's easy enough to get them though, just add the RPMFusion Free repository and install their kmod-staging package which (as the name might give away) includes the staging drivers for the current kernel.
Once you have that installed, the r8192s_usb module can be loaded, but the device still needs external (presumably proprietary) firmware to work. Fortunately, although the driver available from Realtek does not include it, it was included on the disk, and is also available in the Billion driver from their website. So, once you have put the firmware in the right place, the device just works.
Here are the steps to get it working (you will need to have RPMFusion enabled, and run these as root).
Code:
yum install kmod-staging unzip
depmod -a
wget http://au.billion.com/downloads/3011N/3011N_Linux_Driver.zip
unzip -j 3011N_Linux_Driver.zip "*rtl8192sfw.bin" -d RTL8192SU
[Code].....
The main downside here (apart from the obvious) is that you will be relying on RPMFusion to build an updated kmod-staging version when you get a Fedora kernel update. Sometimes this might not happen before you get your kernel, so when you reboot, you lose your wireless (because there's no driver). If so, boot to your older kernel for a while, or build the driver yourself, or create an akmod instead of kmod.

I followed Leigh123's nvidia guide, I can't seem to get my computer to allow 3D rendering. I'm using the 32 bit edition and I have a GeForce 9800 GT Graphics card. I'm pretty much a novice with Linux right now, so I know the problem most likley is that I've done something wrong. I did install Compiz, but it wont do anything.

I just checked the Realtek website and they have a new Linux Driver for the RTL8185. The new driver is dated 6/26/2009. So it is quite recent. I would have thought it might have gotten into FC11.
I have 2 questions. Has anyone tried it? What would be the steps to install it?

Out of all the Linux I have tried, this is the only one which will hibernate and startup again properly. But it has no drivers for the rtl2860 wifi adapter. I am thinking of using NDIS wrapper, but it may stop hibernation working. I see a guide which I am going to try to follow, but has anyone out there got this adapter working and hibernation still works?
