Fedora Installation :: F14 Forces Pae Kernal At Install
Jan 8, 2011
Im having this issue, when i install fedora 14 with the dvd image by usb it installs successfully, but its forcing the PAE kernel, if i remember correctly the PAE kernel is meant for systems with 4gb ram or better, i have an emachines w3115 with upgraded ram to 2gb ram (not sure if it matters or not but its ??dual channeled??) dual booting windows xp mce and fedora 14. is there a way to get around fedora forcing the PAE kernel at the install process?

I'm trying to install Fedora 11 x86_64 on system with Adaptec U160 and 2 Ultra160 HD. It is not part of a network and iSCSI is not wanted. But the installer keeps selecting iSCSI automatically and won't let me change it. I try to do a "replace linux system" with my own partition scheme-which preserves the partitions already on this drive. I eventually have to exit the installer.

I've got the following system:
Quote:
I've been having problems with the system ever since I replaced the motherboard. Moving slow and just generally acting 'wonky.' Well the other day I reached my frustration limit and wiped the HDD. Up to this point the HDD had been in 2 partitions, one for the DELL diagnostics and one for the OS, XP Pro.
I decided that I wanted to set up the system in a dual-boot during the rebuild so I created a two partitions using the Windows install. Partition one is the DELL Diagnostic partition, partition 2 is the XP Pro partition and partition 3 is to be the Linux partition. All seemed to go well with the Windows install. I got the OS up and running and got all the updates done and drivers installed.
I only have the one HDD in the system so I was going to have to make this dual-boot off of one HDD.
I had previously, within the past week or two, downloaded the .iso and created the disk for FC11.
I went through the install process and successfully installed Linux on the 3rd partition, or so I thought. When I attempted to boot into Linux I got the Kernal Panic error.
My grub file as it exists now is:
Code:
If I leave the file as is, I get the kernal panic error but the splash image works fine. If I try to change the 'splash image' and 'root' references from '(hd0,2),' then neither works.
I can boot into Windows XP from the setup as it is now.
I if I boot using my LoaS (FC 11 made at the same time as the images for the cds were downloaded) I can see the hdd and multiple partitions. There seems to be a 'boot' partion, the Linux OS partition, a swap partion, as well as the Dell and XP partions. Now I've tried changing the references in the grub file to reflect the different partitions, basically I've tried 2, 3, 4 and 5, everything but 0 (the dell diagnostics) and 1 (the XP Pro).
I've also re-wiped the HDD and started the whole process over from scratch, thinking maybe I'd hosed something up the first time, but being a firm believer in 'Always do what you've always done and you'll always get what you've always gotten,' and that one of the definitions of insanity it keep performing the same actions over and over and expect different results, I seem to be at impasse here.
Results from 'sfdisk -l'

I have a pc trying to install fedora. It is an amd downloaded and tried to install different versions of fedora. The latest i686 and will get to a boot screen and when selecting boot will lock up at the i386 start kernal command and blinky curser. Yes I am new to linux and may need some hand holding. I have however successfully installed fedora on other computers a while back which is why I am not sure what is going on. It may be a hardware mismatch. I will try to see if I can find another computer to install. I used a different computer and is working. The athlon computer is not working.

I'm new to Linux, tried Ubuntu, had slow boot problems, tried openSUSE 11.1, still have slow boot problems. The issue seems to be that the ata.0 device is slow to respond (ERROR= -16), the boot system forces a hard reset, then a soft reset, configures for UDMA 133, says the drive is ready, then does it again, three times, and then configures the drive for UDMA 100. It's a brand new Western Digital Caviar drive, and windowsXP likes it just fine. Once SUSE boots, everything seems to work just fine. I thought the problem might be with the drive jumpers, so I reset them from cable detect to master/single. No change in the problem.

I am trying to install opensuse 11.2 on my Compaq 610 laptop, I have reformatted the hd and done a clean install of 11.2, however when I boot up the first time (before configuration) it hangs, I have tried both the X64 and the i586 distributions and the only difference is that the X64 distro boots up under failsafe mode while the i586 does not.The problem seems to be at the udev part with the hang up occurring at :
[ 6.002720] b43-pci-bridge 0000:10)00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[C136] - GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10
[ 6.096894] iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO Watchdog Imer Driver v1.05
[ 6.096159] iTCO_wdt: Found a ICH8M-E TCO device (Version=2, TCOBASE=0x1060)
[ 6.103458] iTCO_wdt: initialized. heartbeat= 30 sec (nowayout=0)
And thereafter nothing further happens.
I tried the kernal option disablemodules=iTCO_wdt which got me to the next problem on the next line:
[ 5.761939] b43-pci-bridge 0000:10:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[C136] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10
and it now hangs here
I tried 11.1 and slackware 13 with no problems installs fine and runs fine, on the opensuse site it lists the machine as compatible with 11.2.

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 I got at a yard sale. Has the typical 512MB Ram, 80GB Hard Drive, 2.4GHz Celeron and the integrated Intel video and audio. I decided to put Ubuntu 9.10. However I got a Kernal Panic while loading the live CD. It gets to the white flashing Ubuntu Loco. It freezes. The lights on the keyboard flash and it complains of a kernel panic.

Kernel: 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686
WLAN: Broadcom BCM4311
Problem: I run WPA2 Personal encryption on all my wireless devices. At work we use Cisco WAPs and I can connect flawlessly, simply by entering the password. At home I use Apple's Timemachine, which is basically an Airport Extreme A/B/G/N router.
I go to Network Manager and choose "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network". I enter in the SSID of my home wireless, choose WPA2 Personal, and enter in the password. After ~1 minute Network Manager spits back a window requesting the WEP key.... But I'm not running WEP. This is extremely frustrating. I delete the network and try again... same behaviour. My assumption is that this may be isolated to Airport Extreme network devices but I'd really love to find a fix. Just FYI: I have a MacBook Pro and a system running Vista that connect without a hitch.

System:
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid; clean install; 32bit
When booting, I can choose 2 from 2 options (ignoring recovery mode):
- Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-22-generic
- Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic
(and then Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.10 a couple of times) The newer version appeared with an update from Ubuntu a couple of days after installation. When booting from the first I get the following message:
Code:
Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) When booting from the second, Ubuntu loads without a problem.

i m trying to fix the nvidia drivers and stuff to let Desktop Effects work. I reboot after some changes, and at first I got a kernal error message, and the Fedora froze. So I restart,, and it freezes before I even get the error message. Pop in the live cd, booted up from it so I can talk to my fedora friend, and the reboot to try again. Works, still hasn't froze, and I could get the actual error info.

I'm using Firefox on 10.10. I haven't installed crazy stuff on my machine as far i can recall (i used the repositories, except for gtk+3) and i didn't go to any weird website either, same traffic as usual. The only weird thing was that my internet connection was abnormally slow this morning.
Today though some "http://www.browsersearch.org/" imposes itself on my browser even though my homepage is set to www.google.com. I can't figure how this happens nor how i can get rid of it.
Can anyone help me trace this?

KPDF 0.5.7

To any user of kpdf or kghostview: I loaded a .pdf file (ruteUser_2up.pdf) but it seems to come edited in "two pages " format. I mean, every screen shows two consecutive pages of the book. When I choose View>Two Pages (kpdf) in the hope that it will toggle to one page, it does nothing. Is there any way of seeing the book one page per screen?

How do you set up a linux workstation to act as a gateway for all other PC's in the LAN giving them internal IP's using DHCP, but which also forces all access to the internet to go through a proxy running inside the same linux workstation at 127.0.0.1:9666?the proxy is provided by ultrasurf and run using wine and we do not want to set applications one by one to use a proxy - it must be an automatic effect.

A computer upgraded from 7.3 to 8.2 suffered a number of stability issues which were traced to systemd having replaced sysvinit in this version. Worst of these was that instead of shutting down it just cut the power instantly, causing disk corruption. Basically, from what I can find out, this systemd component seems like it works OK on a completely fresh install but causes multiple issues if it finds its way onto an updated system. I found some instructions on reinstating sysvinit, which cured the issues.
However, on attempting to install the Brasero CD/DVD app via synaptic, I notice that this will force reinstallation of systemd as a dependency, even though it's been locked-out of updates. Luckily I spotted this in time and cancelled. You really wonder why a CD writing app would need to do this. I certainly seems rather naughty for any desktop package to be changing system startup code in a manner which could break the OS.
At the moment I'm not sure if it's the only app which does this -although k3b seemingly does not. Any thoughts on this gotcha, and how to prevent a repeat, other than being extremely careful when installing anything?

For some reason under Ubuntu 9.10 (x86 and x64), MetaPost refuses to render any images that contain text. If you open the file for Image.1, it opens evince and it hangs indefinitely. I can create images perfectly fine and render this as long as there is no text. Am I missing any specific font packages or something that I should be using? I know that it works under Windows. I also know that on a different machine I had a while back (running Ubuntu 8.04, I believe), I had it working then.

Ubuntu 9.04 - recently, I have been getting a newsletter from a certain sender. If I select the mail even to delete it ( not opening it ) Evolution promptly shuts down.
So long as I don't even put the mouse cursor on the offending mails, there is no problem. Now, I am building up a nice collection of unread mails which I cannot delete.

Before I submit a bug, I wanted to see if anyone can tell me why this happens. When I first start using UO, it requested that I add my computer to my UO account. I entered the name of my machine, ie. "desktop-name". Once I did that, the music store worked properly, and I was able to use the Evolution Contacts sync and regular files in the ~/UbuntuOne folder. These all showed up in my web interface.
Now, when I set up Tomboy to sync with UO (Tomboy Web), it sends me to the Confirm Computer Access page again, asking me to put in my device name again. So I enter again "desktop-name" and it logs in and Tomboy syncs. The problem is that two devices now show up under Machines, and also under System > Preferences > UbuntuOne > Devices. I've tried deleting both devices, and starting from scratch as described here but it always does the same thing.
Is there a reason I must have two devices listed when I'm on the same system? Has anyone else noticed this? FWIW, each confirmation request lists a different token, it just seems that once I have authorized my system, that all the sync connections should auth under the same credentials.

I just recently installed Xubuntu 10.04 on a new desktop and I have immediately begun to have issues. Within 10 minutes of installation, I had begun to look around to change the window 'theme' settings. I was scrolling through the themes and BOOM the system blanks out and forces me back to the login. At first I was thinking it was no big deal, but as it turns out, it will not let me back it.Basically, I use my credentials, it appears to login, it goes to a black screen with the cursor at the top left and then sends me back to login like nothing happened.

Ubuntu 10.10 x64. Got a second monitor and enabled Xinerama. It asked me to restart, I did. I opened ATI Catalyst Control Center after the restart and saw the control panel window open for about half a second before suddenly finding myself at the login screen.
ATI Catalyst Control Center has always seemed to work fine up until I enabled Xinerama. I tried removing the ATI driver, restarting, re-enabling it, restarting, and ATI Catalyst Control Center worked fine again. But, as soon as I enabled Xinerama it went back to logging me out whenever I tried to open the control center. I've tried from the GUI menu as well as the terminal using 'gksudo amdcccle', same result every time.
The dual monitor functionality seems fine, but I need to get back into the control center to adjust the colors. I do a lot of photo editing, and the adjustments in the control center really is a great tool to let me get the colors how I'd like.

I have 4 Dell R200's with Seagate 2x250Gb drives running software raid on CentOS 5.2 kernal 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5. They all get these errors 5-10 times a day and when the errors occure the servers apear to freeze and drop all network connections, very frustrating. I've updated to smartmontools 1:5.38-2.el5 and confirmed with Seagate that I have the latest drive firmware, and am now at a loss as to how to fix this. All of the systems report the problem only on sda not sdb.

So I just installed the new linux kernel ( version 26) . On reboot there is a kernel panic with something like not able to mount root fs on 0,0. The older kernel works fine though. And btw while installing the kernel it did complain about not sufficiant space in /boot. I have got this message earlier, so I removed one of the oldest kernels. and i recently there has been package failure during installation of other packages. And one last thing, i noted that during the removal of the older kernel, there were lines in the terminal suggesting that kernel-26 had not been configured properly, so it tried to configure kernel-25 which also apparently failed.

I installed Slackware 8.1 thinking that it was the earliest version to support flash drives (based on some forum discussions I had read), but then discovered Wiki info on flash drives which states that the 2.6.2 kernal is the first kernal to support them. Is it possible to load 2.6.2 into Slackware 8.1 or does this following link the highest kernal I can go with 8.1? [URL]

I am in process of installing a VMware tools PKg and am being asked for the path to the C headers for the kernel. I've browsed every folder, found lots of 'C' header files and tried these paths but none are being taken by the script. which path I need to provide for 'the C headers' for my kernel? running Piapix, Deb5. The os is running perfectly so I doubt there is error other than I am not 'wise' enough to locate these little buggers!

I did "uname -a" and it's showing that I'm using 2.6.31-16-generic of the Linux Kernel. Now, in the GRUB2 boot menu, it's showing
2.6.31-14-generic & recovery
2.6.31-15-generic & recovery
and the current one: 2.6.31-16-generic & recovery.
I would like to remove the old ones because of the pileup they're creating.
Other info: I have wXP pro as my dualboot OS.
