AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) elrepo no driver (Maybe OT)
by Phil Savoie 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi All, This wireless device came with this hp pavilion g4 laptop and noticed that elrepo has no driver for this. I know enough how to compile and install modules but not how to build a kmod package. I got the drivers from here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k and used this snapshot compat-wireless-2012-01-19.tar.bz2 to build and load the module which works fine on this laptop. I was wondering if the folks at elrepo would consider building a kmod package for this? Phil

pulp as a private mirror resource
by Karanbir Singh 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

hi guys, I've been looking at using pulp ( pulpproject.org ) as a means to promote rpms into the evolving repos ( updates/ extras/ plus/ etc ) as opposed to static repos ( os/ ). So that people running large infra do not need to rely on the msync targets, leaving those available for public mirror use. This is very much a spike test to see if pulp is usable for such a role. The thinking is that there is a .centos.org hosted pulp master ( or a few ) and Content nodes in various geo distributed places, with every one wanting to run a private mirror just bringing up a content node, associating it with the repo's they care about and letting that content instance sync on schedule. removing the need to repo-manage completely. The pulp project guys have been very very receptive of constructive criticism and have even offered to take up some of the recommendations I had, as feature requests. So even if we do find there are massive holes that are not filled in a way by pulp today, there might be scope for them to find workarounds or even see if they can find suitable fix's I have asked on IRC and the main list for people who might be willing to help trial and evaluate this process, but havent been able to get much support. So asking here as well, anyone with a few machines willing to spend a few hours working out the issues that such a setup might have ? - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

centOS 6.0 custom kernel load fails
by kasi viswanath 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

HI, I'm trying to build centOS6.0 custom kernel using the steps given at URL http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel Kernel: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64. I'm following centOS5.0 steps for building custom kernel (This is the latest one to refer). After I get rpms in `/rpmbuild/RPMS' i installed the following RPMS to boot with the new custom kernel. su -c "rpm -ivh $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64.rpm \ $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-firmware-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64.rpm \ $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64.rpm \ $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-devel-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64.rpm" This will add a new kernel entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst along with oldone. (default 0) followed by new kenel. I checked for initramfs, vmlinuz, config, system-map files created for new kernel as shown below. bash-4.1$ ls /boot/ ============= config-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64 symvers-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64.gz config-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 symvers-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.gz efi System.map-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64 grub System.map-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64.img vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64 initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 initrd-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64kdump.img menu.lst:- ======== default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS Linux (2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64) root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64 ro root=UUID=d755a526-1318-4ee0-91e5-439b978c1d80 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us crashkernel=auto rhgb initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.kasivj.x86_64.img title CentOS Linux (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=d755a526-1318-4ee0-91e5-439b978c1d80 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us crashkernel=auto rhgb initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img two questions:- 1.

I suspect that below step given in the URL I was not able to do it for centOS6.0. [[[Starting at line 698, there is a 25 line block of code that needs to be commented out to build customised CentOS-5 kernels ( This step is not required to build customised CentOS-4 kernels): ]]]]] Am I missing somethign here to build custom kernel centOS6.0 Reason for building: LKLM modules built on 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 i'm not able to load them. thanks and regards, Viswa

My question was THE NAME of fork (or guidance) that will be acceptable for CentOS project. Period. I will prepare the draft of what I think should be done, with all the pros and cons, and will see with project leaders where to hold debate, either on one of the CentOS ml's, or we will find neutral/acceptable mailing list or forums thread to start the debate and contemplation about further steps.

What name would be acceptable for Desktop version of CentOS?
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Dear developers of CentOS, I plan to create/start Desktop version/fork/respin of CentOS, practically just to add useful packages, modified repository with prioritized third-party repositories, maybe few tweaks, and built ISO and repositories, so we are not limited to messing with manually adding third-party repositories and dealing with dependency problems. Basic repositories will remain from CentOS project. I plan to latter on ask about endorsement, maybe even hosting/mirroring project or even running it under the CentOS project flag. I will have to formulate my goals for the project and see how it resonates with you, developers of CentOS. For the time being, to keep the ball rolling, I have question about the name that you find acceptable (even in the case that I can not find common ground with CentOS project and it remains on the sidelines): 1. CentDOS (Community Enterprize Desktop Operating System) 2. DentOS (Desktop Enterprize Operating System) 3. CentOS-DE (Community Enterprize Operating System - Desktop Edition) 4. Any new suggestion? I personally and few other people like the first name, CentDOS. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

mirror setup/layout
by Ferry Huberts 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hi list I'm mirroring some centos trees for my site. I've seen that currently the (for example) 6 directory links to the 6.2 directory. How about reversing that: let 6 always contain the latest and let 6.2 (latest) link to the 6 (base)? There is at least the advantage (for me) that I only have to rsync a single tree (base). Also I think it's much clearer :-) -- Ferry Huberts

missing debuginfo packages
by Manuel Wolfshant 05 Jan '12

Hello Several debuginfo packages ( at least db4-4.7.25-16.el6.x86_64 expat-2.0.1-9.1.el6.x86_64 libselinux-2.0.94-5.2.el6.x86_64 libuuid-2.17.2-12.4.el6.x86_64 nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.9-11.el6.x86_64 pcre-7.8-3.1.el6.x86_64 but probably more ) are missing from http://debuginfo.c.o Can you please fix that? A bug in either httpd or phpmyadmin lead to a SIG11 which is harder to debug without the proper debug information. Thank you wolfy
