install report i've installed 7.89 using boot.iso (i386) . since i have a slow connection and i had not much time, i've installed only a basic system (no x, etc). after, i've groupinstalled x and gnome. i've tried several times servic firstboot start but it freezes as reported above, and i give up. one interesting thing to note: after 'useradd guzu' , guzu was unable to log into x, pretending that /home/guzu does not exist, even if it exists and the reights were just fine. i've removed the user, logged into gnome using root, added user guzu using s-c-u and after it worked fine. yum-updatesd's gui (whatever it's name) worked slow or freezes (nobody will ever know since i stopped it :)) so i fall back to plain yum where you can at least aproximate mirror speed. i've not seen other issues till now. my smolt profile: <a href="http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=edf37816-4da4-42e2-ac6b-48e087141dd4">http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=edf37816-4da4-42e2-ac6b-48e087141dd4</a> thnx waitin for the t1 :) <div>2007/7/25, Will Woods <<a href="mailto:wwoods@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">wwoods@redhat.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Wed, 2007-07-25 at 11:04 -0400, Will Woods wrote: > On Tue, 2007-07-24 at 19:56 -0400, Jesse Keating wrote: > > On Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:08:12 -0500 > > Mike Chambers <<a href="mailto:mike@miketc.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> mike@miketc.com</a>> wrote: > > > > > Unless you are able to create an iso from rawhide, how can you do a > > > test install if boot.iso doesn't work with i386?

Update: I've narrowed it down to the July 17th rawhide. So something in this changelog broke booting: <a href="http://redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-July/msg00374.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-July/msg00374.html </a> I'm guessing kernel, but binutils changes can be tricky too.. -w -- fedora-test-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-test-list@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">fedora-test-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list</a> </blockquote></div>
