If it's supported by a Live CD it will be supported by a full install (though in some cases only after some work, especially with video h/w), which is why a check can provide reassurance, but as you say, the fact that the Live CD fails doesn't mean the install will also fail. poc

The best way in my opinion would be to pass xdriver=vesa at the command prompt so you could take advantage of a graphical first boot. I believe hitting the tab will open a commandline where linux xdriver=vesa could be entered. Afterward you can try to straighten out the driver problem the VIA graphics is having. On one of my systems with an older NVidia card, I also see the problem that you are having with the lockup. I changed video cards and no longer have the hardware with the error. Check out Bugzilla for both Fedora and Xorg to see if they discuss the problem with VIA in either place for a solution. Jim

Jeffrey Ross — 2008-07-06T01:48:39

Is it just me or did something get broken in the last kernel for F9 (x86_64) for CD/DVD writing? I am unable to write to DVD's with 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.x86_64 but I have no problems with 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64 K3B complains that it is unable to prevent disk ejection (or something like that) Thoughts?

Strange disk behavior with Fedora 9

Dan Hensley — 2008-07-06T01:39:10

My system has 2 SATA drives that are identical in size. One of them has FC6 on it. It used to be my primary disk until yesterday, when I did a fresh install of FC9 on my other disk. I then swapped the SATA cables on my motherboard so that FC9 would boot. Now when I boot FC9, I get these messages about my FC6 drive: attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, want=473290797, limit=268435455 printk: 7 messages suppressed. Buffer I/O error on device sdb5, logical block 39935552 attempt to access beyond end of device sdb: rw=0, want=473290797, limit=268435455 Buffer I/O error on device sdb5, logical block 39935552 I can mount all of the partitions (and in fact FC9 does this for me, even though I don't want it to--how do I turn this annoying behavior off???). However, I can't fdisk it: # fdisk /dev/sdb The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 16709. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot t

What do you currently use to read it? If you use an ordinary mail client on Windows, then another ordinary mail client on Linux should work, as well. You've mentioned "SSL" but that's a vague description. SSL is encryption, it's not a transfer protocol. And it can be used over a variety of data transfer protocols, HTTPS being just one of them. Evolution can use SSL with at least the IMAP protocol, but I haven't looked through all the options. We're a bit lucky down here, Yahoo still has a POP3 interface to their free mail, so I can use any mail client.

Though, bear in mind that the live discs won't always work on some hardware that a normal install does work on, and the performance of a live disc can be quite woeful compared to a normal installation. I've experienced both of them, myself. Using a live disc is really only a test of using a live disc. But it's a fair bet that if the live disc does work, a normal installation will work even better.

nfs mounting error

Mike Chambers — 2008-07-05T21:34:28

All of a sudden (as in today), when trying to mount an nfs dir from one of my servers it fails. I had updated udev to latest from koji (due to bug in burning permissions), and rebooted and discovered the problem. Downgraded back to udev from updates and still have problem (yes did a reboot). Below is what I am seeing... [root< at >scrappy ~]# mount /home/download mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered mount.nfs: internal error I have made sure no errors were shown when restarting/starting rpcbind and nfslock on the client side. The server side hasn't been touched so it's not that. Something on client side has to be having problem. Something with not talking with rpcbind maybe or rpcbind not really runing even though it starts? On latter statement, I also don't see rpc.mountd running on client side neither.
