If it's X, have you tried looking at the X server logs? The log should be found in /var/log, and would either be named Xorg.0.log or XFree86.0.log. It's generally pretty informative if you read through it. -- Greg Boyce

kernel / video problem

I'm sorry we were unable to help you get the official built-in Fedora Core driver for your sound card working. Note that since you have opted for a non-Fedora Core provided driver, you will now have to install a new third-party alsa-kmdl package from the ATrpms repository everytime a new Fedora Core kernel update is released.

When I first installed CORE 6 it booted just fine. Now it hangs and gives the message snipped below. If I do [CNTRL C] it finishes. It says that it can not find Linux/version.h where it thinks it should be. I have erased the kernel-devel package. Why is it trying to compile? It is referring to a SMP version.

Apt always pulls in the version of the package with the highest release number. If that version is available from more than one repository, apt downloads from the one listed first. So you should sort the list by download time, fastest to slowest. My sources.list looks something like this: deb http://debian.example.org/debian testing main deb http://debian.example.org/debian testing/updates main deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main deb http://security.debian.org/debian testing/updates main This ensures that if an updated package is already available from my local mirror I get a fast download from there.

Re: [Wlug] Mythtv Packages

I would suggest you use the 0.19-fixes or 0.20-fixes from SVN (subversion repository) The 0.19 and 0.20 vanilla releases have a lot of bugs, but it depends on your hardware and setup if you will really be affected by the bugs. See the mythtv wiki on the bug fixes in the -fixes branches in SVN. On gentoo linux, there are packages based on SVN snapshots.
