[Gllug] My FC4 hell

[Adrian McMenamin]

Just a word of warning - be sure your hardware is supported by FC4
before you upgrade.

I've just spent two days sorting it out: first of all the installer did
not generate an initrd capable of actually booting my system (it seems
this is fairly common for those without vanilla IDE disks). That was
fixable when I worked out what the problem was because whoever wrote the
rescue CD didn't make the same mistake.

 and then there was a problem with the generic kernel (i82365 driver is
broken and seems to have been for some time). That wasn't fixable (at
least I don't know enough about pcmcia devices to fix it, anyway).

Well, it works now, at least.
