Re: Fedora 2 install

After you successfully rsync, be sure to download the MD5SUM file again.
The checksums may have changed. Why would that happen? Because there's
another difference between the official Fedora Core, and the official
Speakup Modified Fedora Core. Bill keeps the Speakup Modified updated
with newly released RPMs, whereas the release version of Fedora Core
remains unchanged forever.

So, when you install the Speakup Modified, you're always getting the
latest releases as of the time you download the file.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[nick G]

The checksums are the same.  The Kernel still Panicked.
HTH,
Nick

Fedora 2 install

[nick G]

Hi.  My father thinks this might have been a bad download, but I don't know.  I entered linux text speakup_synth=acntsa, and after a sertain messsage which i can't remember, the Kernel panicked.  Some one else test the install please?
Thanks,
Nick

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Stephen Clower]

Hi Nick,
Unless we're both getting bad downloads, I also had some nice little kernel panicking on my laptop. So, think I'll stick with Slackware for now.

Would it really be asking too much for you to describe the error in a bit 
more detail??
It'll be tomorrow before I can try an installation.

I'll attempt a description.  Isolinux starts up and I enable speakup.  At
this time, It goes and displays a few coads from the bios.  Then, a displays
something near loading /sbin/boot ande hnags.  Then displays a coad that
you'd need sighted assistance to read, and displays a message in effect
saying Fatle interupt error, Kernel pannick.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209]

Hi,

     Thanks for the description.  In your case, it looks like it didn't 
even start talking, yuck!  As I said, I can't do an installation until 
tomorrow, so I burned the first CD and went as far as the screen that 
asks whether you want to upgrade your existing system, or do a fresh 
installation.  I see that Jacob was successful, so all is not lost.  Can 
you and Steve find a way to check the md5 sum of the first disk.  Nick, 
since you're already running a version of Fedora, you can do:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/checkisomd5 --verbose /dev/<name_of 
_your_cd_device>
Or, both of you can download the MD5SUM file from the same place that FC2 
came from, and do:
md5/dev/<cd_name>.  Then, compare the results with the appropriate line in 
the MD5SUM file.  If that comparison fails, go to the same directory 
containing the ISO files and do:
md5sum -c MD5SUM
  Be ware of the case in the MD5SUM filename, it's upper.  You'll get 
errors on files that you don't have, but you need to succeed on the ones 
you do have, of course.
          HTH.
          Bill

Re: Fedora 2 install

[nick G]

I checked it with Windows md5, it said the Md5's were different.  I think
you ought to reupload to the speakup FTP, as It seems that a problem ocured,
or if you have an FTP server or web server on the machine with the working
iso's Give us that adress?
Thanks,
Nick

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Stephen Clower]

That's what it looks like here. I'm redownloading disk 1 just in case something hickupped last night during the download. I'm glad Jacob was able to install it though, which means that this is workable. Because of the CRC errors I receive, my guess is that the ramdisk image on the CD must have gotten corrupted somehow. When this finishes downloading, I'll burn and report to the list.

Thanks,
Monte.

I'm glad Jacob was able to install it though, which means that this is workable. Because of the CRC errors I receive, my guess is that the ramdisk image on the CD must have gotten corrupted somehow. When this finishes downloading, I'll burn and report to the list.

Gentlemen, Gentlemen,

Have we all forgotten there's an installation HOWTO that discusses all
of this--and even provides hyperlynx for useful utilities like ncftp for
Windows?

Use the resources. Don't reinvent the wheel.

I've had to jump in here, because this really did piss me off. Nick,
you seem to me at least, to want to sit around and give orders, and
complain if they don't get followed to the letter. You need to
recognize that Bill Acker, nor anyone else on this list are your
employees, and that Bill and others are doing what they do out of the
kindness of their hearts. So, if almost everyone else says that things
work for them, why don't you assume responsibility for errors on your
end, and do something about it, besides getting on here, and giving
orders which from the tone of your message below, you obviously expect
to be followed right away?

All right, I'll shut up now.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209]

What part of the fact that Jacob had no trouble installing are you having 
difficulty processing?  A problem surely occurred, but it was from Bumpy to 
your system, or within your system.

I'll try a few other things, but...I don't know.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Erik Heil]

Nick, I had no problems installing FC2 here at all.  it downloaded fine, no
errors during the burn or installation process, so its something on your
end.  You can either redownload the ISO images locally or maybe you can use
rsync.  Seeing that Winblows told you that the MD5 checksums are different,
no brainer their, its your end.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Janina Sajka]

This means that what you got is different from what is at the
distribution site. If the md5sum's don't match, it's your copy that's
wrong.

The easiest way to fix it, since you already have Linux, is to use
rsync, which very cleverly downloads only the parts of the files that
are different.

Don't bother inventing and trying things. That will get you nothing.
Until the md5sums match, you will get nowhere.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Stephen Clower]

Hi Bill and list,
  I downloaded Disk 1 and burned it again, but the same CRC error results. I also noticed an error about the VFS having problems integrating the Ext3 filesystem with Ext2. Not sure if that's part of the problem or not, but I saw it just before the kernel panic.

Well, I thought I had done the whole install correctly, but I got no 
speech when I rebooted and wile there was  some booting sound, I didn't 
appear to be able to log in either. will eventually put a rescue disk in 
and see what's there.

Hi,

     Did you do the mkinitrd in the second console after the installation 
finished, but before rebooting?  How 'bout chkconfig --level 2345 
firstboot off?
They really don't make it too easy for us.  Give me a call and we'll hack

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Stephen Clower]

Hi again folks,
  Well, after trying just about everything I can think to do, including reformatting and resizing my partitions along with installing Fedora Core 1 server, the FC2 CD still gives me that same CRC error. For those who got this to work, what kind of partitioning are you using? What are the specs of the computers you used? The machine I'm using here is a Dell Latitude C600 with a P-III 750 MZH processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 20-GB hard disk partitioned as follows:
hda1: 12 GB, Fat32, Windows 2000
hda2: 100 MB, Ext2, Linux Boot partition
hda3: 512 MB, Linux swap
hda4: 7.38 GB, Ext3 partition

I have also tried redownloading the CD-ROM images with various FTP clients, burning them with different burners, and using diferent portable CD drives, but I get the same result every time.
Thanks,
Steve

Well, then you may need to take it to the Fedora-Test list available via www.redhat.com. That would mean a hardware incompatibility since others are having no problems at all.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Janina Sajka]

I can't imagine why resizing a partition should make any difference whatsoever in whether, or not, a kernel loads. hat's just not relevant.

So, back to basics ...

1.)	You did do the md5sum thing, right? Andyou found the sums match for each iso image as well as for each cd rom you burned, correct? hat's a total of eight matches. You shouldn't be trying to install if you don't have eight matches.

2.)	Are you saying FC1 installs, but FC2 panics? Do I understand this correctly? Is it theSpeakup Modified both times?

For those who got this to work, what kind of partitioning are you using? What are the specs of the computers you used? The machine I'm using here is a Dell Latitude C600 with a P-III 750 MZH processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 20-GB hard disk partitioned as follows:

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Stephen Clower]

Hi Janina,

I didn't think partition resizing would have made a difference, but I wanted to make sure I tried absolutely everything, including a fresh partitioning in case the installation script looked for a partition number that didn't exist. Yes, the MD5sums showed that my CD-rom's were correct. Fedora Core 1 did install, and in both instances I was using the Speakup modified Iso images. I guess I could always just install a whole lot of RPM packages failing a solution.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Janina Sajka]

There are many examples of hardware that only works in a proprietary environment. Many manufacturers are unwilling to support Linux. Somehow, they seem to think that publishing the specs of how their hardware works would put them out of business. Some of our more cynical friends might assert that they're only afraid to have their own thefts of proprietary technology exposed.

But, be that as it may. If your hw isn't supported, then it's not supported.

I have no idea what you have, or why this error is happening. As I said, it's an issue for the fedora lists.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Janina Sajka]

To discover whether or not your particular hardware is compatible, consult the hardware compatibility database on the Red Hat web site, as advised to do so in the installation HOWTO.

I'm starting to think there's an echo around here again.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Janina Sajka]

Well, if you have a broadband connection to the net, you might want to reconfigure /etc/yum.conf for FC2 and do:

yum upgrade

That might get you there. Be sure to exclude the kernel from the upgrade though. You'll want to put that one in by hand to get Speakup support.

Example exclude:

exclude=kernel kernel-doc kernel-source kernel-smp *debuginfo*

Hi Janina,
  I'll certainly give that a try. Will this only upgrade the currently installed server packages, or is there a way to get the whole shabang with the yum command?

Hi Janina,

Thanks so much for the file, but it appears not to work...something I'm
doing wrong of course...i just need to know what, so I can fix it: here's
what I get as an error.

Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'gstreamer'. Skipping
Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'updates-released'. Skipping
Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'base'. Skipping

Re: Fedora 2 install

OK. My mistake as well. The gstreamer references require installing a GPG key--but I should have pulled that part as it's not part of Fedora Core itself. It's safe to just remove that block. What do you get from:

cat /etc/fedora-release

RE: Fedora 2 install

[Sina Bahram]

Hi Janina,

I'll remove that block, and here's what I got from the fedora-release.

Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) 

Take care,
Sina

Reconfigure for FC2?  What should I put in there, Unless someone out there
has a yum.conf out there?
Thanks,
Nick

Fedora Core 1 did install, and in both instances I was using the Speakup
modified Iso images. I guess I could always just install a whole lot of RPM
packages failing a solution.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
	I just installed it, it worked perfectly fine for me.

Re: Fedora 2 install

[Stephen Clower]

Hi Bill,
In my case, it looks like the kernel ramdisk image has been corrupted. Basically, the computer begins to load it into memory, but then there are errors from gunzip, and shortly afterwords I am given a kernel panic message. It's entirely possible that something happened during the file transfer since Jacob was able to install FC2. I'll try again and reply if the situation changes.
Regards
Steve
