Old kernel dependency for cluster suite
by Sebastian Walter 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Dear list, I'm trying to install the CentOS 4 Update 5 Cluster Suite including GFS. When I install the kernel modules cman, dlm, gnbd and GFS from the csgfs yum repository, I get the message that I need to downgrade to kernel 2.6.9-55.EL. As this kernel has problems with dlm I want to stay with my present kernel 2.6.9-55.0.2.EL (the problems only appear on very heavy load on GFS). Is it normal to only be able to run Cluster Suite on this (older) kernel? Is it the same regarding RedHat systems? Thanks for any answer! Regards, Sebastian

C4 yum-priorities update
by Daniel de Kok 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi all, A new version of the yum-priority plugin for CentOS 4 (x86/86_64) is now available through the CentOS 4 testing repository[1]. This version improves multi-arch support, so we are especially interested to hear if this works well on 86_64. x86 testing is also very much appreciated. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Thanks, Daniel [1] yum-plugin-priorities-0.0.5-1.el4.centos.noarch.rpm

C5 yum-priorities update
by Daniel de Kok 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi all, A new version of the yum-priority plugin for CentOS 5 (x86/86_64) is now available through the CentOS 5 testing repository[1]. This version fixes obsoletes handling, which was broken by a upstream multi-arch patch. We'd like to hear if this version works well, and whether obsoletes are correctly excluded. You can test this by performing the following steps: - Installing the updated plugin. - Add a repository with obsoletes (e.g. RPMFore or ATRPMS), and make sure that it has a lower priority (thus a higher priority number) than the CentOS repositories. - Make sure that /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf has the following line: check_obsoletes = 1 - A subsequent "yum update" should not install/updates any packages from these repositories. The results are most interesting on machines with a high number of installed packages (since that would potentially hit an obsolete earlier). There should be no regressions in normal plugin behavior aw well.

Using CentOS trademarks/artwork etc.
by Axel Thimm 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi, mythdora is a project that uses Fedora + some ATrpms packages to create a mythtv livecd/dvd. For quite some time I wanted to see it get a cousin based on CentOS5. The packages are already available, it "only" takes some glue. What are the rules to play with regarding CentOS trademarks/artwork? Is it OK to use them, perhaps even derive some artwork out of it (a television like CentOS logo? :) Would names like mythcentos or similar be OK with CentOS? Not that it matters in this context, but who owns CentOS trademarks and artwork? I hope someone does at least in the US to prevent any abuse. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

CentOS 5 Live CD
by Patrice Guay 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

I am currently building a Live CD for CentOS 5. I am using the livecd-creator script from the livecd-tools project [1]. Here is my setup: - A workstation with CentOS 5 i386 - dosfstools 2.11-8 [2] - livecd-tools 009-11 [2] - pykickstart 1.0-1 [2] To create a live CD, you need a kickstart configuration file[3]. You also need to increase the maximum number of open files: # ulimit -n 65535 Then, you can start the creation process (~30 minutes): # livecd-creator --config=centos-livecd-desktop.ks The resulting iso image (644MB) can be transfered to an USB key... # livecd-iso-to-disk <isopath> <usbstick device> ... or simply burned to a CD or DVD. The live CD has a writable /usr directory. However, it can not be used to install CentOS 5 on your system. A new anaconda package will be required to achieve this functionality. [1] http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/livecd [2] These packages are available at http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/i386/live [3] http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/i386/live/centos… -- Patrice Guay

Modify Live CD image
by Matt Gessner 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hello, I'm trying to add some files to /lib/firmware (for a Broadcom wireless card) on my Live CD. Since it's read-only, this means having to go back and modifying the .iso file. I'm assuming the files I want are in centos-live.sqfs. How can I go about making these changes? I realize the firmware files can't be there to begin with, but so far, I've got no success in making these files available when the driver loads since AFAIK it's only going to look in /lib/firmware. Thanks in advance.

Inclusion of rhnlib
by Dag Wieers 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi, I'd like to request the inclusion of the upstream rhnlib package into CentOS. Even though RHN in itself does not work if you have no entitlement, mrepo uses rhnlib python modules to archive updates from RHN for RHEL. Without rhnlib, CentOS cannot be used to set up an internal RHN mirror for RHEL packages using mrepo. And I know of people that do (and need to manually copy an rhnlib package from RHEL). Besides, rhnlib does ship with CentOS 4 :) Thanks for considering. -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

yum 2.4.3 updates for CentOS 3 and 4 in the testing repo
by Daniel de Kok 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi all, We have added yum 2.4.3 updates for CentOS 3 and 4 to the CentOS testing repository. These packages introduce the following changes: * CentOS 4: yum now requires the yum-metadata-parser package. This is a backport of the yum C metadata parser, and provides an significant performance increase over the Python metadata parser. * CentOS 3: this is the first release of yum 2.4 for CentOS 3, and we plan to provide this as an optional upgrade through the CentOSPlus repository. We have added code to yum 2.4 for default kernel handling (as setting the default kernel after kernel updates was handled by yum 2.0). Additionally, the package also requires the yum C metadata parser. Please test these RPMs, and provide feedback. We are especially interested in stress testing of the new components (default kernel handling on CentOS 3, and the C metadata parser on CentOS 3 and 4). Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Thanks, Daniel

anaconda and i18n
by beast 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi all, Which config use by anaconda to update /etc/sysconfig/i18n? When selecting "ID" as the language choice, it update i18n file but with incorrect spelling: SYSFONT="latarcryheb-sun16" (should be cyrheb) causing lot of error message saying can not open file, when starting and shuting down the system. Running system-config-language fix this problem, however. Thanks! --beast
