After the HTPC's media partition took a dump last fall and I failed to fix it, the box just sort of sat there while I went about other things. I finally sat down on Wednesday evening to try and fix it again... and got it working in about 3 minutes. All it really took was

yum -y install jfsutils
fsck.jfs -p /dev/sda5

Yeah, ok so that was really straightforward... I'm not sure how I wasn't able to figure that one out last year.

Anyway since the time of the partition bork, when Fedora Core 6 was the distro of choice... we now have Fedora 9. So I upgraded the OS last night, only to find that... when I turn on third party repositories, the network stops coming up on boot. Wha?
