Fermi Linux 6.1.2 linux.fnal.gov:/export/linux/612/i386/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a combined Release note of the notes from 12-01-2000 (Already released) 01-08-2001 (current) It indicates the changes from the latest 6.1.1 release(Oct 23,2000) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation changes All of these changes were done so that the install floppy could use the 2.2.16-20 kernel along with all the new driver modules that come with that kernel. These were taken from the RedHat 7.0 release. There have been a few reports of the 2.2.12 kernel not working with some newer products. One report was with the Intel Lancewood GX+ chip motherboard. It had problems with the scsi. This has been tested with this new release and it now works fine. Systems with the Intel i810 video work better. See http://home.fnal.gov/~dawson/howto/i810.html for more info. A new install floppy is needed to gain the above new features. I have made these available from FCC3w(PREP) and from Yolanda in WH8ne. You can make your own from the images described below. /RedHat/instimage/modules/ module-info modules.cgz modules.dep pcitable /RedHat/images/ bootnet.img.2.2.16.fermi for network installs boot.img.2.2.16.fermi for cdrom installs One can boot from the cdrom as long as your system can do so. Most current motherboards can do this but you have to enable this in the bios. There are many bios vendors so see your motherboard bios instructions on how to set this. /RedHat/images/drivers.img This is straight from 7.0. It works because I now use the 7.0 install kernel images. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RPM Package Changes REPLACED because of security issues. apache-devel-1.3.14-2.6.2.i386.rpm apache-1.3.14-2.6.2.i386.rpm apache-manual-1.3.14-2.6.2.i386.rpm ypbind-1.7-0.6.x.i386.rpm mod_perl-1.23-3.i386.rpm auth_ldap-1.4.0-3.i386.rpm gnupg-1.0.4-4.6.x.i386.rpm php-3.0.17-1.6.1.i386.rpm php-ldap-3.0.17-1.6.1.i386.rpm php-imap-3.0.17-1.6.1.i386.rpm php-pgsql-3.0.17-1.6.1.i386.rpm php-manual-3.0.17-1.6.1.i386.rpm nss_ldap-122-1.6.i386.rpm gnorpm-0.95.1-5.6x.i386.rpm dump-0.4b19-5.6x.i386.rpm dump-static-0.4b19-5.6x.i386.rpm rmt-0.4b19-5.6x.i386.rpm bind-8.2.2_P7-0.6.2.i386.rpm bind-devel-8.2.2_P7-0.6.2.i386.rpm bind-utils-8.2.2_P7-0.6.2.i386.rpm fetchmail-5.5.0-2.6.i386.rpm fetchmailconf-5.5.0-2.6.i386.rpm imap-2000-2.6.i386.rpm imap-devel-2000-2.6.i386.rpm netscape-common-4.76-0.6.2.i386.rpm netscape-communicator-4.76-0.6.2.i386.rpm netscape-navigator-4.76-0.6.2.i386.rpm joe-2.8-42.62.i386.rpm bash-1.14.7-23.6x.i386.rpm modutils-2.3.21-0.6.2.i386.rpm ed-0.2-19.6x.i386.rpm tcsh-6.10-0.6.x.i386.rpm pam-0.72-20.6.x.i386.rpm slocate-2.4-0.6.x.i386.rpm ADDED Security Update for "ping".

These rpm's were built to run on the 2.2.16-3 kernel. You need to install the smp labeled rpm's if you run a smp kernel kernel-i2c-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm kernel-i2c-2.5.4smp-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-2.5.4smp-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-devel-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-devel-2.5.4smp-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-drivers-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-drivers-2.5.4smp-1.i386.rpm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISC /contrib/RPMS/ghostscript-5.50-8_6.x.i386.rpm /contrib/RPMS/pine-4.30-1.62.i386.rpm These security updates have conflicts that need to be checked out beforei they move into the release. The issue with "pine" is that it now has dependicies on ldap which we do not install. The issue with "ghostscript" is that we use one that Chris Green made for us. So I need to see what the difference is before it goes in. You can test if you want. is.
