Hello,
I upgraded my fedora core from FC3 to FC4 with yum. And found some problems:
1) when I execute :
[]# /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl start
it responds:
microcode device /dev/cpu/microcode doesn't exist?
that seems true because an lsmod doesn't show the microcode loaded.
I manually load the microcode module, then the device /dev/cpu/microcode
appear and I am able to run the /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl script. But,
at the and of the script there is an /sbin/rmmod microcode that unload
the module and consequently remove the device /dev/cpu/microcode.
My CPU:
[]# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 6
model name : Celeron (Mendocino)
stepping : 5
cpu MHz : 466.746
cache size : 128 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov
pat pse36 mmx fxsr
bogomips : 917.50
Anybody see the same problem ? For me is a double problem. First udev
doesn't load the microcode module and then the microcode_ctl script
remove the module. Or I don't have the right CPU ??
2) This is a head less server. No X. But, I want the samba package who
needs the cups-libs which needs libtiff that needs xorg-libs, etc. Any
way that libtiff doesn't needs xorg ?? Without recompiling, because the
next time the libtiff will be upgraded the X will come along...
The same for cvs package. It seems that it needs tcsh packages just for
a script in the /usr/share folder. In the FC3 there wasn't this requires
for cvs and libtiff.
Thanks,
Edd.
