I'm seeing this regression (compared to FC-5, where it used to work fine) on the hibernate function with this laptop, an ASUS M6Ne (Centrino 1.7Ghz, 512Mb RAM, ATI mobility radeon 9700, _not_ using any proprietary kernel modules) Basically, the hibernate procedure go as far as the "shutting down hda" message, then fails to turn off power. I am forced to turn it off manually. Otherwise the operation seems working. Anyone else with similar symptoms? Moreover, I saw from time to time a screen of kernel error messages ( a stack trace ?) on the consule during wake up operation, but I am not sure if this was generated during hibernation. I will try to find a pattern for this and eventually post agina more details.

You could try the new Fedora 6 Live CD beta to test if your hardware works with that kernel too... Live CD is available on the Torrent, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD for details.

Maybe the SATA driver for this chipset is know to have bugs with DMA (or when CDROMs are attached to it) and disabled them by default? But i'm not a kernel expert, so someone with more and deeper knowledge of the drivers would have to comment on that. Have you tried running the laptop without the CDROM, just in case?

Hope this is the right place for this. I got a new HP Pavilian laptop w/XP; at long last got Fedora (Core 4) to dual boot with Windows. Things are looking good but I still have a few serious problems. During the boot sequence, it will LOCK UP totally at the step "Loading PCMCIA". If I do the "interactive boot" thing and answer 'N' at that step and then continue, I make it to the desktop. Question 1: What is this, how to fix? (Even if it was OK, I can't make booting such a manual activity.) Question 2: How get WiFi going? I'm not sure it is seeing the card right or what... but I'll be needing the 'net. Other than that (and the tricks & traps with the install) I'm doing OK here at this point. The sound wasn't working before, but that seems to have worked itself out at this point...

I've already started setting up a project targeted in that direction, but it will be a little larger than only laptops. The idea is to collect information about working and non working things for various distributions on as many different machines as possible.

Right. This could be done at least in two diferent ways; 1) automated hardware discovery (thru anaconda, kudzu, script, etc) and then report (like Ubuntu hardware detection report) 2) user input (thru form page) The first one gives us a more detailed (and it's the best) report, but there can be always some 'dissidents' that dont like this intrusive report. So #2 can be in handy for those that just want to say 'it works', and could be done without the need for a formal project. > As soon as i have some more info i'll make a longer post here on the > Laptop list and on fedora-devel.

I guess livna or freshrpms could have this packaged named in such a manner. So basically: ipw3945-kmdl- and kmod-ipw3945- is just the same content. So You don't need both of them.

I'm running FedoraCore6 updated and the removable devices are not working... are not mounting most of the time. The situation is like this, if I insert a CD or DVD in the drive, it doesn't show up on the Desktop or in Computer, gnome-mount is not working. I think it does this when I'm using the computer for some time... if I reboot the computer and leave the CD or DVD in the drive, it mounts it ok, and it even works a few times if I remove it and put it back in. And then again after some time it's not mounting anymore. The same thing happens with USB stick. Sometimes it shows up on the desktop, most of the time it doesn't. I believe this is not that GNOME related issue, probably a kernel or something. But I'd like to debug this... how ? I want to know how to fix this. It seems to me that maybe gnome-mount is not functioning correctly, or there is a problem with a driver, kernel module. Maybe two drivers are trying to mount the removable device and there is a conflict... I don't know, help. Happy holidays everyone !

I initialized the hard drive and created 4 partitions of 15 GB each on it. I did not format any partition. Then I plugged the hard drive in my notebook and installed Windows XP Home on the first 15 GB partition, after which I restarted the notebook and booted from the Fedora Core 6 Disk 1. Unfortunately, FC6 shows only one partition of 60 GB formatted as NTFS. My questions are: 1. Do I have to format the next 15 GB partition as ext3 for FC6 to read it properly ? 2. I read about the "1024 cylinder limit" problem. Do I have to create the first (Windows) partition less than 2 GB or 8.4 GB so as to allow FC6 to determine the partitions correctly ? I had bought my laptop in Nov. 2003 so I am not sure if this "1024 cylinder limit" is an issue at all with it. Is there any way to find it out by looking at the Setup information during Windows boot ? Any help or insight would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

I will try out the dual boot exercise after partitioning using GParted Live CD. In Windows XP, if you connect a new (external) hard drive thru a USB port, you can "initialize" the drive and create partitions using: "Start" -> "My Computer" -(right click)--> "Manage" -> "Computer Management" -> "Disk Management". If you don't format the partitions, the filesystem of the partition is seen as "RAW". But I guess it is one of those Microsoft quirks. The good thing, from what I understand, is that the "1024 cylinder limit" is unlikely in my notebook's BIOS. Thanks once again. Cheers... Nil Gradisnik wrote: I don't quite understand how did you create 4 partitions without formating/creating them? I think that's not possible. >From what I read is that windows installation created one big NTFS partition out of your entire disk space. My advice is to format your drive clean. First, create a partition for windows, you can create a 15Gb or whatever NTFS of FAT32 partition(fat32 would be a better choice if you want to read/write your windows files from linux and if you'll mostly use linux). Leave the rest of the drive space unpartitioned. Install windows on this partition. Then boot your Fedora installation disc and the installer will properly use the unpartitioned space. You can manually create partitions from fedora installer, but I think the default layout will be good. For disk partitioning you can use GParted live cd: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php Hope this helps.
