Hi,

We have recently installed Fedora Core 2 on HCL Server with Super Micro X5DPL-8GM motherboard.

System specs:

Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz [HT] Adaptec AIC7902 Ultra320 SCSI adapter [Dual channel]

36.7 GB [SEAGATE Model: ST336607LW] 512MB RAM ECC [hynix]

NIC: Intel Corp.|82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] Intel Corp.|82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller

I have prtially updated this install using up2date i.e kernel,kernel-utils,iptables,squid,rpm,wget,xinitrc etc.

When i start system with kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.358 or kernel-2.6.5-1.358

Queries:- 1>I am getting following error during startup: ACPI: S3 and PAE do not like each other for now, S3 disabled.

agpart: Unsupported Intel Chipset (Device id:254c)

Does this means Super Micro M/B is not supported by FC2?

2>When i boot it with new kernel-2.6.10-1.771_FC2

system shows "usbdevfs not supported by kernel"

Does it means usbdevfs not support new kernel.

3>i can't able to load modules (i.e ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack)

When i tried to manually load module:-

[root@matrix root]# /sbin/insmod ip_conntrack insmod: can't read 'ip_conntrack': No such file or directory [root@matrix root]#

Slocate finds ip_conntrack and ip_nat_ftp modules

[root@matrix root]# slocate ip_nat_ftp|more /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.ko /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.c

Trying to load all necesary iptables modules during bootup. Here is my /etc/rc.local file content

#!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies /sbin/insmod ip_tables /sbin/insmod ip_queue /sbin/insmod iptable_filter /sbin/insmod iptable_mangle /sbin/insmod iptable_nat /sbin/insmod ipt_state /sbin/insmod ipt_owner /sbin/insmod ip_nat_ftp /sbin/insmod ip_conntrack /sbin/insmod ip_conntrack_ftp

Since, i will be using this system for following purposes:

1.Gateway Server 2.Firewall Server 3.Squid Web Cache Server 4.FTP Server (occassional)

Below is my dard disk partion table as per my requirement with explanation:-

#df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 7.1G 2.2G 4.7G 32% / /dev/sda1 99M 11M 84M 11% /boot none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 25G 38M 23G 1% /home /dev/sda5 2.0G 241M 1.6G 13% /var

/home will be use for Squid Web Caching data and FTP Data storage.

/var To store logs for Squid and other applications log analysis.

SafeBox / May try installing and using MySQL or Oracle in near future.

Please suggest.

Thanks and regards, navneet
