I was Running FC3 on a PC platform ( 64 bit Intel P4 Prescott 630 in Foxconn mother board). When I tried to upgrade the FC with rpm I had trouble with my network timing out. Disc is a SATA drive Root file system is LVM

I tried to update with RPM but the network timed out. I am having the same network time outs on my wife's Mac and a new wintel XP laptop.

What sort of Internet connection do you have? As I'd look into issues there...

Is there any sort of wireless involved? If it's DSL, how fast is it, and how far from the exchange are you?

Try "ping google.com" for several hours, and see how many packets you drop.

If you lose 1% or more, try traceroute google.com, and ping some of the first hosts on the list.

I switched to Yum and the update proceeded smoothly but took 3 hours.

Here is where the problems start. I was searching for HelixPlayer to see if it was on the system. Find returned an error " incorrect hard link count in /proc usually a disc driver problem"

Firstly, /proc isn't on the hard disk. It's a virtual filesystem, not ext3. There's no way (and no point) to fsck it.

This is an incompatibility between the proc filesystem and find. It's a known issue.

Dave Jones (Red Hat kernel guy) says an upgraded kernel should help: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-August/msg04746.html

You should try to get a recent kernel working. Since you say you're on x86-64, try http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/x86_64/ Download and rpm -i some of the recent kernel-* packages, and see if you can find one that works. Presumably you've got hyperthreading on that CPU, so you should really use the kernel-smp-* packages, but you may find a non-SMP version works better.

Hope this helps,

James.
