Installed FC3-rc2 on two machines: Box1: Dell Inspiron 7000 (PII/233MHz): Upgrade (from FC2) and Fresh install Box2: Dell Inspiron 5169 (P4/2.8GHzHT): Fresh install Fresh install sets SELinux to 'Disabled'. 1. Mediackeck consistently marks all FC3 iso CDs as FAIL, even though they are fine and install correctly. Note1: I burned these CDs three times, on different releases/kernels (FC1/2.4.27 and FC2/2.6.9), after reading about some issues with ide-cd on 2.6 kernels I also tried the -pad option with cdrecord. No difference, all CDs recieve a FAIL with mediacheck. However, I checked an old FC1 install iso CD and it got a PASS. 2. Configuration/Detection problems 2.1. Monitor: On both machines, the monitor fails to be detected by default (it is respectively a Dell 1024x768 LCD and a Dell 1400x1050 LCD). The user has to manually configure it during firsboot. 2.2 Desktop: my choice is to install KDE and not install GNOME. One would expect that the login manager would be kdm, and the default desktop KDE. Instead, I get gdm as login manager and I log into ... TWM ???????????? If GNOME is not installed and KDE is, the /etc/sysconfig/desktop should be changed from DESKTOP="GNOME" to DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" 3. Hardware-specific: 3.1 After install, the Inspiron 7000 hangs during 'Starting udev', I have to Ctrl+C to stop udev launch and continue booting. I will look into that. 3.2 On the Inspiron 7000, the upgrade from FC2 resulted in a boot sequence that would hang just after the message "Enabling local filesystem quotas". Fresh install does not exhibit this problem. I don't know if the machine froze or did something useful (relabeling for SELinux maybe?), but it just looked frozen, and I did have limited patience (1h30 during which I rebooted 4 times, investigated a bit,echoing some strings from rc.sysinit) before I decided to redo a fresh install. Thank you very much for making Fedora better and better ar combining ease of install and use, stability and cutting edge features. Philippe Rigault
