Although had been pointed out before this bug still exists in final
version!!!
1) Installing FC4 64 with reiserfs system the system fails to boot since
it' can't mount the root fs!!!
2) I own an AMD 64bit 3200+ the gnome applet that show the cpu speed
complains that it can not manage the cpu speed so my cpu is stack at
2Ghz even when cpu time is 0%. Cool and quiet which was WORKING on fc4
rc3 use to slow down my cpu at 800Mhz when cpu load was low and the
gnome applet worked fine!
3) XMMS is missing! Nice... who needs the famous xmms??
4) my favorite editor jed is missing... nice Now I have to turn to vi???
and more to come as I look in to it the following days!!!
Anyway it still mych better then FC3!!!
Nice job, thainks !

Reiserfs is not support in this release. only ext3
3) XMMS is missing! Nice... who needs the famous xmms??
Rythmbox is the default player. Xmms is a gtk1 application and does not
use the gstreamer framework. It is available in Fedora Extras
#yum install xmms
4) my favorite editor jed is missing... nice Now I have to turn to vi???
You have nano or emacs too. It would a good idea to step up to maintain
Joe in Fedora Extras if you are interested in it
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras
and more to come as I look in to it the following days!!!
Anyway it still mych better then FC3!!!
Nice job, thainks !
Glad you like it

It is in extras now:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/xmms-1.2.10-16.i386.rpm
> 4) my favorite editor jed is missing... nice Now I have to turn to vi???
So is jed:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/jed-0.99.16-10.i386.rpm
I am not at my FC4 machine now, but I think extras is enabled by
default, so you should be able to do:
yum install xmms jed

I it not a SELinux problem here? Reaiser FS is not kompatible with
SELinux.

Also some of them use sections of the users screen for amusing effects. Thats
a nasty suprise that some people don't welcome when they are using "lock" mode.

All that is a none-issue if the default setting for xscreensaver would
be "blank screen" (no matter wether the others are installed or not),
or am I missing something?

FC4 seems to default to choosing a random image from
/usr/share/backgrounds/images, which is a lot better.

My point exactly, that the user doesnt have to use vi and can use emacs
since it already exists in core. In a followup I also confirmed that Jed
is available from Fedora Extras

Yes. I still think it's a good idea to change the default to using a
directory of logos/images rather than the background. It's an easy switch,
still looks nice, and doesn't have the surprise side-effect.

I have a machine at home which has been running FC3 and FC4T3 without
any problems. Last night I attempted to install the official FC4. I
media checked the CD's, partitioned my disks, selected packages and
started the install. Before formatting the disks, I got a popup window
that said "Error informing the kernel about mods to partition /dev/hdb2
- resource is busy. This means Linux will not see any changes
to /dev/hdb2 until your reboot...." Then the system forces a reboot.
I think this was my swap partition, but clicking the 'Ignore' button on
the popup generated a similar message for other partitions I was trying
to create (some, but not all of them...)
I tried this twice. Figured it might be hardware, so I used a Windows CD
(ugh! :)) to completely reformat both hard drives. Formatting worked,
but the Linux install failed again. Tried letting Anaconda do an
automatic disk partitioning instead of manual - same result.
I gather that people have successfully installed FC4 from the emails
I've read. Anyone see anything like this? Any suggestions? I plan to
take my FC4T3 disks home tonight and see if I can reload the system with
those... Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance,
nbc

Hi,
Had the same problem with a Dell Precision 330. Again the error referred
to my old swap partition which I had changed for the installation.
I just rebooted and everything went OK !!

That should have been addressed (i.e. reiserfs xattr support has
allegedly been fixed upstream to work properly with SELinux), but others
have also reported breakage with reiserfs in FC4. Whether or not it is
SELinux-related, I'm not sure.

Neil,
I experienced the same thing. I solved it by going into rescue mode and
manually removing the FC4T3 partitions, reboot, go into rescue mode
again, make the partitions manually with fdisk and format them, reboot
and go into the installer and install FC4.
After the installation finished and I rebooted I had a weird LABEL=...
entry for the swap partition in my /etc/fstab filled with what someone
in #fedora called UTF8 junk. I removed the junk and changed the label to
LABEL=SWAP-sda3. Then all was fine. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Patrick

Wish I would have even gotten that far. Tried to install on a newer
Dell desktop at work yesterday and it kernel panic'd towards the end of
the kernel load. Installs just fine on my current machine (dell a
couple years old). How does one even diagnose a situation like that?
Is there some kernel boot arg that just writes a log to a floppy drive
or something? Its a Newish (last couple months) Dell 8400 series. SATA,
PCI express.
