I just installed the new kernel on one of my Cubieboard2s. /boot used
grew ~130MB.
Challenge is that my next board to update only has 43MB free. It
currently has 3 kernels on it.
Is there a way to cleanly delete old kernel files prior to the update?
In this case 4.9.30-203?
thanks
I have finally updated my howto at:
http://www.htt-consult.com/Centos7-armv7.html
Thanks to the excellent Centos armhfp site, I was able to pull out a lot
of the basic setup instructions. Thanks for your work putting that site up.
Please go over and take a look; all comments will be welcomed (but not
necessarily acted on! :) ).
Thank you for providing the code that makes running Centos7 on armv7
boards possible.
It would be nice if EPEL could move along. Perhaps when I retire (in …
[View More]a
year or 2), I will take on learning how to help there.
I have one other project to tackle before I can restart my mailserver
effort.

Hello,
I am trying to boot the Raspberry Pi image in qemu KVM on CentOS7. I
converted the image to a qcow2 file system, extracted the /boot
directory and tried to boot.
I am using the following command:
$ sudo virt-install --name centos7_armhfp \
--memory 4096 \
--boot kernel=/var/lib/libvirt/armhfp-boot/boot/vmlinuz-4.14.28-
201.el7.centos.armv7hl,initrd=/var/lib/libvirt/armhfp-
boot/boot/initramfs-4.14.28-
201.el7.centos.armv7hl.img,kernel_args="console=ttyAMA0 rw
root=/dev/…
[View More]sda3" \
--disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Generic-
Minimal-1708-guest.qcow2 \
--import \
--arch armv7l \
--machine virt \
--os-variant centos7.0
I get the following error:
Starting install...
ERROR unsupported configuration: qemu-xhci not supported in this
QEMU binary
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start centos7_armhfp
otherwise, please restart your installation.
I am following this tutorial that should technically work on all
architectures if modified to fit:
https://arrfab.net/posts/2017/Sep/29/using-centos-7-armhfp-vm-on-centos
-7-aarch64/
What am I doing wrong? I searched the web a bit but found no
significant results.
I tried to boot with the generic and the pi images with the same error
output. I feel like I am missing something simple because I am used to
using virt-manager instead of the command line to install virtual
machines.
Thanks,

No, it is done after a successful installation, as a part of the
"cleanup" stage.

The think is that it always keeps the current booted kernel, so if you
are using a "working" kernel, it shouldn't …

I had to reboot a server this morning. I was working on one box and
bumped things I should not have...
Then I noticed my name server was not coming up real fast like normal.
So I get on the console and notice it is waiting for something to
start. It waited 3 min before giving up and getting everything else
going. So after it was up, I ssh in and checked the messages and found:

Ignore the timestamp. This occurs before the network is up and chrony
has not set the time. Cubies do not have a battery RTC.
But I believe this is recent. I had gone a LONG time without updating
and applied some 180 rpms updates (in careful batches). So this MAY be
something new.

Then it takes off. I could scan the console capture if you need the
messages immediately after it finally took off. But I have noticed this
service failing to start on one of my other boxes, not not on the other
two. So it revolves around something installed or not installed.
But with this base of an install, perhaps you can figure out what the
problem is?

Hi all,
Is there any way to know the compilation options used to build the kernel ?
At least, on a x86_64, we have something like
config-3.10.0-862.3.3.el7.x86_64
On raspberry, I did not find anything in /proc nor in /boot.
Regards,
Stephan.

It costs more than $100 and I'm not sure if it's 5V or 12V but the new LattePanda boards might be interesting:

I went looking for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to set it
up for static addressing.
Instead I found ifcfg-link
What is this?
In the past I was usin nmcli:
ifname=eth0
nmcli con delete $ifname
nmcli con add type ethernet con-name $ifname ifname $ifname ip4
$your_ipv4_address/$your_ipv4_prefix gw4 $your_ipv4_gateway
nmcli con mod $ifname ipv4.dns "$your_ipv4_dns1 $your_ipv4_dns2"
# optionally set your MAC address
# your_mac=
# nmcli con mod $ifname mac "$your_mac"
nmcli con up $…
[View More]ifname
(that con add above is line wrapping in this email)
ip a
shows eth0; do I just use my nmcli script as I did for the 1611 image?
