The limit is 2.2TB, not 2TB, and it is a limitation of the MBR
partition table scheme not a limitation of "fdisk". The limitation of
"fdisk" is merely that it doesn't understand the EFI partition table
scheme. It happily understands the BSD disklabel partitioning scheme,
which has different limits to the MBR scheme.

It is behaving exactly when it starts, i.e., Oct - 05 - 2008 after
01:59, the clock is moved to 03:00, which is expected.
But if you set the date to April - 06 - 2008 and set the time to
02:59, instead of moving back to 2:00, the clock starts counting to
3:00.

[root@a10-10-4-61 root]# date
Sun Apr 6 02:59:59 CST 2008
[root@a10-10-4-61 root]# date
Sun Apr 6 03:00:00 CST 2008

To cross verify, I even tried without this patch in latest Fedora core
release 7, there also I observed the same behavior, i.e., DST corretly
starts at last sunday of October, but it is not ending at the last
sunday of March.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong.

Any help would be highly appriciated.

thirdly, HP just works, even though CUPS has no record of a driver for

driver for the prior model.

If you deleted them by mistake, you can always get them from your backup if

Sure, but first he must use port forwarding, if he can actually get at the

is not-- it is a 2wire I assume dsl modem/router), then he is SOL. If it is

Bug in Fedora?

What *was* the bug? Prehaps it was not a show-stopper at all. It's
unlikely Fedora would ship an OS without working ethernet support.
 

I'd try the latest Fedora or another distro after first giving a try at
configuring the connection manually. Prehaps the bug is in the
configurator itself. Try 'ifconfig' or 'ip' and 'route'. See the
Ethernet-HOWTO, NET3-4-HOWTO, and possibly Networking-Overview-HOWTO if
needed. How the connection is configured depends on if eth0 is linking to
the internet or an intranet. If eth0 is used for the internet, then I
think you'd use dhcp, else assigning an internal address with ifconfig and
making a route to the peer is enough. I don't use ethernet for my Internet
connection, so I'm not familiar with the dhcp commands, but ifconfig/route
is what configured the interface I'm using right now.
 

It's even worse than I thought ;)

GRUB problem (double windows + linux)

Posted: 11 Sep 2007 01:48 PM PDT

Hi Stef,
Thanks for your reply.
The disk numbering and naming are correct, although they are
confusing. It took me quite a long time to find out how to set up
grub.conf, since the partition numbering changes during the boot
process (as explained) when I start linux (gentoo). Again, when I do a
search in grub during booting (e.g. for boot.ini) I get a different hd-
numbers as when I;m in linux (and start grub manually). I guess this
is caused by the combination motherboard (asus a7n8x) and the sata
module. My IDE disks are on the same controller. My SATA disks (yes,
you are right, there is a fourth disk) are NOT recognised a sdx, but
as hde and hdg. The reason why I use the hide/unhide lines are that I
do not want Windows to see the other windows disks/partitions. They
are not essential for the booting process and have no effect on the
current behaviour (hanging windows). When I remove the rootnoverify
lines, I get a grub-error while booting.

When I set the bios to boot HD1 (has windows), winXP is started up
correctly. So effectively the windows systems are viable and can be
started. When I telll the bios to boot my 1st SATA disk (which holds
grub in the mbr) and continue to run windows (pressing the F8 key) I
do get the windows screen with the debug options and the boot options
of boot.ini are displayed. So Grub does find the right partition.
However when I then select a boot option and ENTER, immediately the PC
hangs and I have to do a hard-reset.

I've also refreshed the mbr's of both IDE disks, but no succes. The
boot.ini's of the windows partitions point to the 1st partition of the
first hd on the first controller (which in fact is correct because of
the re-mapping (in Grub).

I'm still puzzled. Especially since this worked for years. I'm 100%
certain that linux and grub did not change. I'm not certain about
windows (you never know...). And finally it could be a hardware
problem. Could it be a hw problem with the ide-controllers?
