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.
[Tony Foster] DSL provider is the problem. Old DSL modem (384Mbits) that they would like me to go for a 10Mbit service and get a new modem. All machines in the house go through these time outs. (win XP; MAC OSX; ) the linux machine does better then any of the others. Right around 20Mbytes the network hits a wall and slows way down. I will try your suggestions to get documentation to push on the ISP to replace old modem or upgrade me for free.
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.
[Tony Foster] I used to be a strong user of UNIX when I did real software devel. I suspect that Proc was a special case directory. The pre 7.0 unix did not use this model.
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
[Tony Foster] I let Yum grab the most recent released kernel. I will investigate the pointer to new kernels. I bailed since I had not seen any responses and reloaded the system from FC4 install. I am in the process of updating again. Thanks for the info on "find" problem. Again I will investigate the pointers.
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.
[Tony Foster] Yes this CPU is a hyper threading unit. I did have to go back to a non SMP kernel to get the system through boot and stable.
Hope this helps,
James.
