This might be the place to tell you about my Acer
struggles.
1. I have an Acer Aspire 7739Z, and it won't
upgrade from Fedora 15. It hangs and refused to
boot. It's 64, not 32, but the Live CD is supposed
to be for that. I tried Fuduntu and it will boot up
but with error messages and limited ability.
2. I read on the Internet about the issue, and some
found that updating the bios works. So I reinstalled
the Windows 7 that it came with, so I could do that,
without freaking Acer out. They only offer support for
the OS the laptop came with, and they also say on the
website that you shouldn't update the bios with their
help. Anyway, their help doesn't actually work out,
but I was able to upgrade the bios to the latest for
this laptop. But while it runs Windows 7 fine still,
it still won't allow me to install anything above
Fedora 15, which I reinstalled.
3. Obviously I misdiagnosed the issue, so I paid closer
attention to the error messages and this is what they
say now:
ext4 file system check failure on
/dev/mapper/vg_[nameofmylaptopnetwork]-lv_root
Go to rescue mode and repair filesystem. Restart
installation after you have corrected the filesystem.
************
So that is the message. But it's rather vague to me. How do
I correct a filesystem?
Any clues out there? I'll try almost anything;
just don't
advise me to do anything that will brick the thing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It is all about who controls the keys. What we are talking about here is a
situation where the user/owner has control of what keys are in the firmware so
the user/owner gets to decide who the firmware trusts. MG's kernel patch lets
this trust extend to the kernel so the kernel trusts the same keys the firmware
trusts. The user/owner is in complete control.
I also agree with you
about Ubuntu. I don't trust them. In fact I trust Google more than I trust
Ubuntu. But ISTM that if a user/owner wants to trust Debian, or Ubuntu or even
Microsoft, they should be allowed to do so. I don't see what the downside is
for the kernel adopting the trust relationships the user/owner has installed in
the firmware.
I think there must be a misunderstanding somewhere but I don't yet
know for sure who is mistaken.
