Upgrading to Fedora 7
Continuing the theme of geeking out this weekend, I’ve taken the plunge and upgraded my server to Fedora 7.
The usual suspects caused problems with the upgrade, namely.
Yum getting confused
Make sure you delete all your repos from yum, before you start with the post-install update. You might want to add back in the new atrpms, and livna repos.
atprms – /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
[atrpms]
name=Fedora 7 - i386 - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f7-i386/atrpms/stable
livna
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/7/i386/livna-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
Madwifi-based network card
Grab the latest drivers from the atrpms repos
rpm -Uvh http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-kmdl-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7-0.9.4-36_r2321.fc7.i686.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7-0.9.4-36_r2321.fc7.i686.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-0.9.4-36_r2321.fc7.i386.rpm
And before you try and restart you network, don’t forget to reload the driver once they’re installed.
modprobe -va ath_pci
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master &
eth1394 is not ported yet
Also, still open for the time being. eth1394 hasn’t been ported to the new FireWire stack yet. To be updated when I have a solution. If you’ve got one yourself, please do add a comment
