Hi,
I am an user of Fedora Core since 2003, and I've used versions 1.0 and 6.0. Though I've used both versions for quite some time now, I would still like to consider myself to be a novice, since Linux is still like a mysterious lady to me :).
I am facing three peculiar problems with FC6 in two systems:
1. I own an Intel D865GBF based PC running an Intel 2.8 GHz processor with 512 MB MB (dual channel) DDR RAM. It houses two Seagate Baracuda 80 GB HDDs. FC6 was installed in a dual boot environment with WinXP, FC6 was installed in three primary partitions in the second HDD. Now the problem was that, whenever I tried to boot into FC6, system hanged at the "loading udev" line. I traced the source of this problem to be kernel-xen; since the problem vanished as soon as I unchecked the "Virtualisation" segment in all of the fresh installations post problem. I observed that it installed only "kernel" and not "kernel-xen". Can anyone please tell me whether my observations are correct or not, and whether there exists any solution to the problem with "kernel-xen" ?
2. I own a Lenovo 3000 Y500 notebook with 512 MB DDR RAM and 120 GB HDD. FC6 is installed in a dual boot environment with Win Vista that came preloaded. As soon as I update kernel, from the next boot onwards, the updated kernel is unable to detect the laptop keyboard whereas the default kernel works fine. The problem persisted even after updating hal, cups, seliux-policy targeted and xorg-x11. Am I doing something wrong ? The same setup seems to work fine in my PC.
3. Even after installing the latest JDK and JRE, the latest version of OpenOffice.org components fails to start even after giving a "installation success". I didn't installed the following bundled products: OpenOffice, Java, Java runtime, eclipse, firefox and thunderbird. I installed the latest releases of the above mentioned softwares from their respective sites. Any solutions ?
Please give me a reply as soon as possible. I am eager to become a part of the FC6 Developers team, but before doing so I need to upgrade myself from novice status. For now, I would like to observe things and explore the way things work here. Wish me luck.
Wishing you all a very happy prosperous new year, regards,
Cyberbob (A)
