!!Installation Notes
* When compiling the [LIDS] module, you cannot load it if the default linux capabilities security module is already loaded.
+
+!!Fedora Core 1
+
+After having updated the Kernel you may encounter problems with certain processes when starting or shutting down your system. These problems will be relating to the mounting and unmounting of your partitions, and adjusting the clock. Most of these problems lie in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
+
+Here's a sample configuration used to setup your default LIDS values.
+
+!Problem - error writing to /var/log/dmesg
+
+ rc.sysyinit:818: dmesg -s 131072 > /var/log/dmesg
+
+Either comment out the line which updates /var/log/dmesg in rc.sysinit, apply the patch to the dmesg source available [here|http://www.wlug.org.nz/] or allow bash to modify the file. (I opted for the dmesg patch - GerwinVanDeSteeg).
+
+ rc.sysinit: dmesg -s 131072 -f /var/log/dmesg
+
+!Problem - writing to /var/log/ksyms*
+Just comment this out for now until a fix is found.
+
+!Problem - writing to /etc/mtab
+The way to do this is to replace the /etc/mtab file with a symbolic link to /proc/mounts.
+ % rm -rf /etc/mtab
+ % ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
+And then going through your initialization scripts (rc.sysinit) and modifying all mount and umount commands and adding the "-n" option, which will tell mount to not update /etc/mtab. You may then also get errors about being unable to mount a filesystem due to it already being mounted.
+
+ rc.sysinit:570: action $"Mounting local filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs -O no_netdev
+
+replace with
+
+ rc.sysinit: action $"Mounting local filesystems: " mount -a -n -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs,sysfs,proc,devpts -O no_netdev
+
+!Problem - updating /etc/adjtime
+See sample configuration
+!Problem - turning of filesystem quota's on restart, cannot stat() /dev/root
+Solution not yet found.
+
!!Usage
* Refer to the documentation or the installation instructions provided with the lidstools source and lids patch. (ie. RTFM)
