Adding interrupt handler to FC3
by fdl＠scottl.com 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Hello, I am trying to add my own interrupt handler to FC3. I have tried two methods of modifying the IDT, both of which work under most kernels I've tried (incl the 2.6.9 vanilla kernel) but fail under the FC3 kernel (2.6.9-1.667). I've also tried the FC3 kernel with the alternate security models off, and large memory support off, but I have the same problem. Although I haven't tried it yet personally, I've been told that some code I have working on the vanilla 2.6.9 kernel works fine under FC4. Method 1 is to just modify the IDT in place. This causes a segfault on FC3. Method 2 is to make a copy of the IDT, modify the copy, and then use lidt to change the IDT used by the processor to the copy. This causes an immediate reboot on FC3. Any pointers on what I might be doing wrong? What is the "correct" or "officially supported" way of adding an interrupt handler on FC3? Thanks for any pointers (or sample code :)

rawhide eth0 not present
by Steve G 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hi, I updated to rawhide from fc4 on Thursday and now I'm getting: Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [FAILED] This message is coming from the initscripts, what could be the problem? I've tried booting with old fc4 kernel - no change. The ethernet controller works fine under fc4. lspci shows a Ethernet controller RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) Thanks, -Steve Grubb __________________________________ Yahoo!

make kudzu stop prompting
by James_Martin＠ao.uscourts.gov 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

I'm interested in making a Fedora Live CD, but I've noticed with all the Fedora based Live CD's, kudzu prompts the user if hardware was added/removed and the normal "Keep Configuration" "Do Nothing" prompts. I'd like to add a switch to kudzu that would automatically handle the addition/removal of hardware without any prompts. I know kudzu already has a "quiet" switch, but the manpage states that it is only for supressing dialogs that do not require user input. Anyone worked on this already ? Thanks, James James S.

kernel-devel dependency
by Michel Salim 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Should kernel-devel be made to depend on the same version of the kernel? I have kernel-devel installed, and every time a new kernel comes out the corresponding version of kernel-devel becomes installed as well - but the old package does not get uninstalled. Unless there is a specific reason why it is desirable to have kernel-devel-X installed when kernel-X is not, having the former Requires: the latter would make maintenance tidier, I think.

RFC: X.Org X11 modularization project - rpm package driver naming
by Mike A. Harris 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Overview: ~~~~~~~~ We have begun work on X.Org X11 modularization, and are in the process of packaging the video and input drivers. Upstream, each driver has its own individual tarball, which are available at: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R7.0-RC0/driver One of the benefits of the modularized X.Org X11R7, is that it makes it much easier for us to provide individual driver updates without having to release the entire 150Mb monolithic X release. The ability for us to update a single driver, and release that single driver to users is an important thing for a modern OS, in particular for desktop systems. As such, we have decided to package each driver individually in its own src.rpm package. It has now come to the time where we must make a decision as to how the driver src.rpm packages will be named, so we can begin packaging them, and also let the installer team and other groups know what they're called. As such we are soliciting feedback from the Fedora community, including Red Hat developers and subsystem maintainers. Proposal: ~~~~~~~~ Here is my initial proposal for naming the src.rpms, along with brief rationale, and the real (or perceived) advantages and disadvantages: xorg-x11-driver-<type>-<name> The prefix of "xorg-x11" identifies the driver package as being an official part of the upstream X.Org project. This distinguishes the driver from one that might be provided by the "dri" project, the "gatos" project, or any other project. It makes it easier to substitute alternative driver packages that provide a driver of the same name. It also makes it clear to the user, the developer, and anyone else looking at the package, that the source code contained inside came from X.Org directly. It also makes it clearer where bug reports should be filed upstream. As such, I propose all driver packages start with the "xorg-x11-" prefix. The "driver" portion of the proposed name, indicates that it is a driver for the X server, much like "module" in kernel-module packages. It namespaces all drivers, so that they all appear together in directory listings, and are easy to group together from scripts using globs, etc. ie: # Install all of the xorg drivers: rpm -ivh xorg-x11-driver-*.rpm The "<type>" attribute is either "video" or "input", as used in the upstream tarball names, and further namespaces things, so that all input drivers appear together, and all video drivers appear together. This makes it easy to handle all input drivers or all video drivers from a script as well. Finally, the driver <name> field, is the official name of the driver from the upstream tarballs, which generally is the name of the driver binary that gets installed as well. Using this naming mechanism, I believe gives us the most flexibility with driver packages, and makes life a lot easier down the line as far as maintenance goes. It also makes the packages very obvious as to what their contents are. The only slight disadvantage to this naming scheme that comes to mind which someone might point out, is that the package names are semi-lengthy. I don't see this as a problem however, as all modern shells have filename completion, and it works quite well. The benefits of clarity of contents, directory listing grouping, CVS repository grouping, bugzilla grouping, etc., IMHO far outweigh any perceived disadvantages of lenthy names. Request for comments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Interested Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, or community developers who have an opinion about the X.Org modular package naming conventions, or who just want to provide feedback concerning the above proposal, are encouraged to respond to this RFC on or before Monday August 29th if possible. We look forward to hearing everyone's feedback, and incorporating the collective concious of the community into our decision making efforts. Thanks for your considerations. -- Mike A.
