Hi, We have recently installed Fedora Core 2 on HCL Server with Super Micro X5DPL-8GM motherboard. System specs: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz [HT] Adaptec AIC7902 Ultra320 SCSI adapter [Dual channel] 36.7 GB [SEAGATE Model: ST336607LW] 512MB RAM ECC [hynix] NIC: Intel Corp.|82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] Intel Corp.|82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller I have prtially updated this install using up2date i.e kernel,kernel-utils,iptables,squid,rpm,wget,xinitrc etc. When i start system with kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.358 or kernel-2.6.5-1.358 Queries:- 1>I am getting following error during startup: ACPI: S3 and PAE do not like each other for now, S3 disabled. agpart: Unsupported Intel Chipset (Device id:254c) Does this means Super Micro M/B is not supported by FC2? 2>When i boot it with new kernel-2.6.10-1.771_FC2 system shows "usbdevfs not supported by kernel" Does it means usbdevfs not support new kernel. 3>i can't able to load modules (i.e ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack) When i tried to manually load module:- [root@matrix root]# /sbin/insmod ip_conntrack insmod: can't read 'ip_conntrack': No such file or directory [root@matrix root]# Slocate finds ip_conntrack and ip_nat_ftp modules [root@matrix root]# slocate ip_nat_ftp|more /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.c Trying to load all necesary iptables modules during bootup.
