Fedora 12
12 was released a few days ago and despite my usual "let the other gut find the problems" approach I upgraded a recent Fedora 11 install. The 11 install was less that two weeks ago on a new machine. 1) It took forever. The install and upgrade times seem to be in direct proportion to the release number. 2) Th... 19 Nov 2009 19:43

Fedora Core 11: not booting
Hello, I recently burnt a Fedora Core 11 DVD. When I insert it and boot the system it says something like "booting in 10 seconds" or something and the 10 decreases one second at a time until once done the screen goes blank instead of showing something like with the ubuntu dvd which I was able to burn and use. ... 25 Nov 2009 05:57

proper way to use atomic.h
Hello- It seems that if I just do #include <asm/atomic.h> I don't get what I expect, in particular CONFIG_SMP is not defined and LOCK_PREFIX is "", and the "atomic" operations aren't actually atomic. If I do #include <linux/autoconf.h> #include <asm/atomic.h> then everything works fine. Am I supposed ... 10 Nov 2009 15:12

sendmail won't use relay
A RHEL5 client set up properly to send to another host as a relay doesn't do it. Yes, the "DS" field is set up in sendmail.cf, sendmail daemon restarted a million times, etc etc. Everything looks fine, it just doesn't work. Why does it try to send the mail itself? Shouldn't even attempt a DNS lookup. The mailhost ... 10 Nov 2009 08:03
