| Hello Petros,
|
| Thank you for the report. We don't have as much x86_64,
| so all the reports on those are appreciated.
|
- Thank you, for your support!

| We provide GFS for those that want to use it.
| We sorta assume that people will only install it
| if they want to use it. If you are planning on useing it,
| then that (along with other settings) need to be set.
| It's basically like installing openafs
| and not telling it what cell to use.
| So this I think is a good error, not needing a fix.
|
- IMHO it is a matter of first impressions,
- especially for absolute beginners like myself.
- But you know better of course.

| OK, so I don't quite understand this part of the report.
| Does this mean that when you boot up in graphical mode,
| that the Firstboot freezes up?
|
- When I boot up and the screen turns in graphical mode
- the computer hangs up just after the mouse pointer appears.
|
> 2b

|
| And when you boot up in text mode, everything is
| fine?
| (Basically I'm not positive what you mean by interactive mode)
|
- I am terribly sorry.
- What I meant was "Interactive Startup"
- where when I am and give for all [Y]
- except for:
-"Start service firstboot ...: No"
- the GUI starts almost normally with some message boxes
- with errors about SND and alike.
|
| If so, does X work?
| If X works can you do the following as root
| and see if you get any errors (with X started)
| mv /etc/sysconfig/firstboot /root/
| /usr/sbin/firstboot
|
| If you do get errors can you send them.
|
- It returns "No such file or directory"

|
| Yup,
| It seems the kernel (both i386 and x86_64) does not like
| some of those adaptors. Some of them work some don't.
| The driver from Marvell's website works,
| and is easy to install if you need a work around
| for the time being.
|
- Thank you. I will try it.
|
| Is this built into the motherboard?
|
- Yes it is.
|
| Also can you send us a
| lspci
|
- Yes, of course. Here it is:

| What is the output when you do a
| redhat-config-soundcard
|
- It returns:
-"Command not found"
|
| And, the lspci would be useful on this as well,
| but if you send if for

|
| Thanks

|
- Yes, indeed.
|
| What does a ltpci show for SL x86_64?
|
- Please, take a look above at A.3: "SL lspci"
- On the occasion,
- the "FC3 lspci" one it differs slightly from "SL lspci"
- and only at the last line for Ethernet controller.

| It sounds like: I've just seen the same with updated
| firstboot from Q4 (1.1.31-1 - from
| https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-581.html)
|
| on an i386 ..
|
| It could be related to:
| https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135833
| (even that SL is not using up2date ...)
|
| Can you try running strace on firstboot as tried in
| the above bugzilla bug ?
|
- It is impossible to run it now, but I will see what I can do.

- Thank you.

Thank you all.
Keep it up with the good work!
Our antennas group is quite decided to follow your effort.
