Thanks "poma" (???) and Harald. It sounds like you may have solved my
problem .... but I'm afraid that your advice is too cryptic for my poor
feeble
brain. Can either of you (or someone else) spell out in tedious detail
just
what I need to do? I cannot figure out whether things written in your
messages
are commands that I issue at the command line or lines that I need to
insert
into certain files. And if so, which files? I'm sure it's all obvious
to you guys,
but it leaves me floundering.
Some specific questions:
(1) "poma's" original posting referred to the directory /boot/extlinux
and a file therein called extlinux.conf. On my system there is no
directory
"extlinux" in /boot. The only subdirectories of /boot are "efi", "grub"
and
"grub2".
Should I create the directory /boot/extlinux and the file
/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf?
Or is there some other incantation that I should invoke?
(2) Likewise the original posting refers to <drivername>. How do I
find/figure out
the *name* of the driver associated with the internal WiFi card? This
may sound
clueless, but I guess I am clueless.
(3) I did "man 7 dracut.cmdline" and found the reference to
"rd.driver.blacklist"
but I could not fathom what it was saying.
(4) The original posting contains:
e.g.
/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
append … rd.driver.blacklist=<drivername>
Is the line "append … rd.driver.blacklist=<drivername>" to be placed
in the file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf? (After I figure out what to
substitute
for "<drivername>" of course.) Are the three dots "..." literal? Or
are are they a filler for something that I need to insert? If so, what
do I need to insert? I haven't a clue!
(5) I have found the file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg alright. But it has a
header
saying "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE". It goes on to say:
# It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
So do I need to edit /etc/default/grub? Or what?
(6) In respect of "poma's" follow-up posting: Do I create a file
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.<modulename>.conf (after having figured
out what "<modulename>" should be) and place in it the line:
blacklist <modulename>
(again after having figured out what "<modulename>" should be) ?
(7) In /etc/modprobe.d there is already a file called "blacklist.conf" in
which there are many many lines such as:
# watchdog drivers
blacklist i8xx_tco
# framebuffer drivers
blacklist aty128fb
blacklist atyfb
blacklist radeonfb
blacklist i810fb
blacklist cirrusfb
.........
Could I just put "blacklist <modulename>" into that file?
(8) "poma" says " However OP should upgrade, anyway." I'm sure that
I should. But the thought terrifies me. After all that I have read on
this
list recently about problems with Fedora 19, with fedup, with "yum
upgrade".
I have understood almost none of the discourse but it seems to indicate
that upgrading is essentially impossible unless you *really* know what you
are doing. And I don't.
Is there a simple (hah!) recipe by means of which I could upgrade? E.g.
could I just type
sudo fedup
at the command line? Or perhaps
sudo yum upgrade
??? If either would work, what are the implications of using the one
rather
than the other?
Thanks for any insight.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
