Today's rawhide install

[Tom Diehl]

Hi all,

I have a Dell inspiron 2650 that I did a clean install of today's rawhide on.

The following are some of the problems I encountered:

1. Numerous avc's apparently from things being mis-labeled. Do these still need
to be filed as bugs? I see others mentioning this on this list. I have not done
anything to the machine other than install from the network. No kickstart, no
customizations. After the relabel I am still getting various AVC's that I do not
understand.

2. When booting for the first time, I get the graphical boot but then it drops
to test mode to give do the first boot stuff but before I can respond it tries
to start X and hangs. All I see are a mouse pointer and a blue background.
Rebooting with RHGB off gets me to a text based first boot and then a command
prompt. Switching to run level 5 gets X started and operating as expected.
inittab shows the default runlevel to be 3. I changed it to 5. I suspect that
the reason it was defaulted to 3 is because anaconda failed to start X during
the install, so I did the install over vnc. After the first reboot and a relabel
the machine started normally with RHGB enabled.

I would file bug(s) for the above but I am not sure which component(s) to use
and exactly what information to provide.

3. NM detected and enabled the network interfaces including a MadWifi wireless
card. YEA!! The only thing that seems odd is if I am connected to my wired
network and I click on the NM icon to get a list of available networks and
then click on my wireless network, NM says that I am connected to the wifi but
the icon still shows the 2 computers as opposed to the signal strength icon.
If I disconnect the ethernet cable and wait a few seconds, it will switch
to the signal strength icon and the wired network selection is greyed out.

In F8 clicking on which ever network I wanted to be connected to, made the
switch as expected.

All in all so far this is pretty good for beta software.

More testing to come!!

Regards,
