Additional info:
can you upgrade to the "real" Fedora Core 2 release?
How can I know witch version is "real"?
How can I know witch is the lest version of core 2? I'm downloading test 3 now!
err, there is a final one! http://fedora.redhat.com/download/ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/
I'm using these one! I have other question, fedora core 2 have tree versions, test1, test2, test3, how can I know in a installed system which version I'm using if I lost the cd's? Thank's Harald!
You can see the version with: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) $ rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release fedora-release-2-4 you can try to update your system with yum. read http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware # rpm -Uvh \ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-2-4.i386.rpm # cd /etc # wget http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf # yum upgrade
My release: Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release fedora-release-2-4 Now I know that I'm using the right version, so the problem still persist. What can I do? my version of mkisofs: mkisofs-2.01-0.a27.4 the original was mkisofs-2.01-0.a27.3
hmm, ok, you are in good shape with your packages. how exactly does your system freeze? No response? Total crash? Do you have 3rd party kernel modules?
In fact it freeze totaly, the display looks like a printscreem, without a "Kernel Panic" just freeze and in /var/log/messages dont apear nothing , just a big space of time like 12:30:22 12:37:11. I change my OS to RedHat 9 and it work perfectly! Sorry about my english. Thanks
Hello Harald, I'm still waiting for some answer, did you reproduce the bug?
sorry, I tried to reproduce it, but I could really not... My system was busy, ok, but not freezing. Maybe it is some driver problem, that shows up under heavy load? Mkisofs doesn't do any magic, that could freeze your system. I'll reassign this bug to kernel, because I cannot really hint you where to look further. I hope the kernel guys can pin down your problem. Sorry!
we fixed a similar symptom by a bugfix in the 4g/4g patch recently, the 435 erratum kernel has this fix. Does it still reproduce with that kernel ?
Yes my frend, Fedora Core 2 have a big bug in default instalation with mkisofs in all kind of hardware, I did test myself with 4 diferent machines!!! When you upgrade kernel to 2.6.6 these bug are fixed, so please alert your peaple is a big bug with sure!
