Problem after last update
by Dominik Składanowski 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hello list. Since morning I have an emergency. After last kernel update one of my servers didn't start. On display I see only "GRUB" :( I have 2 more servers based on CentOS too, but after the same update this servers works. All servers have 2 HDs and works as software mirror. I have started damaged machine using Knoppix and I can see partitions and data on both disks. Of course I have made a backup. Anybody has the same problem? It can be hardware problem - HD diode light all the time. Or maybe something went wrong during update? Regards -- _________________________________________________________________ D o m i n i k S k ł a d a n o w s k i

If you are running the packages from the csgfs repository, you need to wait until the cluster packages are updated for the new kernel and then upgrade the kernel and the csgfs packages together. -- Bowie

VPN Solution required
by Tom Brown 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi I need a VPN solution that will work to a CentOS4 server thats behind a NAT'ing hardware firewall appliance. This has to be able to work on Windows and OSX and i have to access a server on the LAN. I have looked at OpenVPN but for some reason i'm having issues with generating certificates using their howto and i used the rpm from Dag. While i continue my fight with this is there any other options out there? thanks

Problem installing from CD
by Jeffrey B. Layton 31 May '06

31 May '06

Good morning, I hate to bother everyone again, but I'm having some more trouble. I have a new machine with an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard (ATI Xpress200 chipset) and a Hammer DVD Writer (shows up as a Matshita DVD-RAM SW-9585). I get the CD to start (in text mode - don't know why I can't do VGA or better), and it asks me What type of media contains the packages to be installed. I choose CDROM and then it says: The CentOS-4 x86_64 CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the CentOS x86_64 CD and press OK to retry. The funny thing is that this is Disk 1 of x86_64. Any ideas? I've tried a couple of different download sites and I always get the same problem. TIA! Jeff

CentOS 4.3 Server CD - i386 Released (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 13:38:04 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] CentOS 4.3 Server CD - i386 Released To: CentOS-Announce <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Cc: distro(a)distrowatch.com Message-ID: <447C3CAC.30202(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 The single CD server install for CentOS 4.3 / i386 has now been released and is available from all active mirrors. A torrent will be available shortly from the centos/4/isos/i386 directory shortly. md5sum for the CentOS 4.3 ServerCD / i386 is : 35cdcfcb17c28fb2be6e56689ba7a0d6 CentOS-4.3.ServerCD-i386.iso You can find a local mirror to download from here: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/isos/i386/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- We appreciate all feedback ( via http://bugs.centos.org/ ), including RFE's and bug notifications. Notes: 1. This installer will only work with i686 based cpu's ( no K6, older Via C2 / C3 support ) 2. The included packages are a subset of all packages available in the CentOS distribution, however yum has been pre-configured to use the entire repository. 3. In order to ensure that drivers and other third party apps maintain compatibility, the package set used on the Server CD is from Release time CentOS 4.3, you are strongly encouraged to run a 'yum update' immediately after installation. 4. As some of you will notice, the iso size is lower than the 650mb acceptable for a single CD. Feedback on what other packages should be aded or removed from this Single CD for the next release are very welcome. Enjoy! -- Karanbir Singh http://www.centos.org/ ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 15, Issue 8 **********************************************

by Administrator One 31 May '06

31 May '06

Would like to know whether there exist a clear simple walk through to set CentOS 4 up as a Terminal Server or in the alternate, as a file and print server. I'm new but have googled but come up with some rather complicated issues. I trust someone can help on this forum. Regards All, Jughead

Re: [CentOS] Centos and Software RAID

We found that the 'data protection' features of software raid1/raid5 worked, but typically when a drive failed, the linux kernel was unable to provide useful service until it was rebooted and/or the failed drive removed. This was in the 2.4 days; things may be different now. We have since moved to 3ware hardware raid with better success in terms of continuing to provide service through a drive failure event.

Came to the same conclusion you did. We use 3Ware on our systems that require plenty of disk space, but don't require high performance. If we need the latter, then it's SCSI RAID. HTH Mark
