Colleagues This is just a quick email to warm about issues in regards to updating to the latest kernels in Fedora.
It has been found that using kernels 2.6.25.6-27.fc8 and 2.6.25.4-10.fc8 (Fedora 8) has caused issues in regards to "multiple instances of vic (producer and service) "locking up". Basically, only one of the streams will transmit, whilst the others will lock up. An interesting side effect is that you cannot manually "kill" the locked up "vic" process. Though xkill seems to work. Additionally, if you add each stream manually (using configure node service), rather than loading from a configuration, this appears to work fine. Will keep you posted when through testing has been conducted and any possible resolutions found. Therefore, for now, I recommend not updating your kernel and/or nvidia / xorg drivers. We are also investigating whether there are any issues with out "Linux" variants, but it appears that most other Linux distributions still only run 2.6.24.xxx kernel, rather than 2.6.25.xxx, which appears to be the problematic version. Thanks for your time, Jason. -------------------------------------------- Jason Bell, B.I.T.
