[Fedora-ia64-list] Fedoar Core 6 test2

[Zhang, Yanmin]

I got the DVD image and installed it on my tiger4 (Montecito) machine.

I ran into 2 problems. As unable to get the latest source codes, I
didn't try the latest kernel.

1) Installation issue: After installation, kernel couldn't boot. I
checked it and found 2.6.17-1.2517.fc6xen was installed as the default
kernel. I used my own kernel to boot it and used rpm to install the
default kernel again. Now it boots successfully.
I didn't run into bug such like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204638.

2) gdb issues: I tried gdb with the simple hello world program. See below
log info. I'am not sure if the utrace is added into kernel. If so, it looks
like it breaks. If I could get the latest source codes, I might debug it.
