Or there user can find documentation of full building discs process (createrepo, pkgorder, buildinstall etc)?

C5 + DL320 G2 compatibility
by Nicholas Byrne 17 May '07

17 May '07

Hi, I've been having problems installing CentOS 5 on the DL320 G2 server which uses one of those fake raid chips. I'm fairly sure it's a an LSI logic chip supporting 133 ATA x 2, with raid 0, 1 and 1+0 support and uses the megaide driver. Here are the specs for the system (though they don't specify the chip in question) - http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11512_div/11512_div.html When booting with old firmware/bios i get to the point anaconda does the drive detection and it cannot find any drives. I thought, ok old firmware i'll try updating to the firmware shipped on the 2007 release of HP firmware 7.70 CDROM (FW770.2007_0131.52.iso). Now i boot C5 up from CD and all i see is - loading vmlinuz.... loading initrd.img.... Ready!.. You cannot disabled the LSI controller in the BIOS, it appears to be the only ide controller available. I have tried a few kernel parameters such as enabling disabling apic etc but nothing got me past this point. Any ideas?

Hi, is this the right list for discussing this? If there is a better list, or this is better discussed in PM, divert this thread there :) === What hardware does CentOS like to use for its booth? http://wiki.centos.org/Events/LinuxTag2007 says # Who brings a demo-system ? # Anything else to demo ? # Demo-system (maybe big screen or projector) (Anyone?) If you could detail this a bit more, I can ask around for some bits and bolts (I'm living in Berlin). I can't make any promisses, though. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

by Anthony Francis 08 May '07

08 May '07

I was doing some archivere reading on this subject and I saw someone had suggested that the proper COA would be a wiki page about how to get PHP 5 working with mssql on centos, but I could not find that page in the wiki. Is there any plans to to do this? Anthony

openssh security update
by Akemi Yagi 08 May '07

08 May '07

CentOS developers, Could someone take a look at this? It was posted on the CentOS Forum by bdaniels. Apparently this security update came out on May 1, but not all versions have been made available for CentOS. Akemi === Forum posting by bdaniels === Well, the announce list has been posting them: [CentOS-announce] CESA-2007:0257 Low CentOS 4 s390(x) openssh - security update 05/04/2007 06:44 PM CentOS Errata and Security Advisory 2007:0257 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0257.html But only for the s390 and ia64 architectures. The i386/ia32 ones are missing.

Re: [CentOS-devel] Re: Third repos CentOS 5 compatibility

Folks, For what's worth, IMO there is at least one thing we at Centos-devel could learn from EPEL: they have very clear rules about how to get contributed packages into their repo: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#head-24b4e4b98953a6d3de80019e85e8311… I for one have some packages (http://www.durval.com.br/RPMS/el4/) I've been trying to contribute to CentOS for many months now, without success: I've posted messages trying to submit the packages, talked to some developers, even started a page on the CentOS Wiki about it, but in the end it came to naught (I privately received information from one developer explaining why there are no clear rules, but I was asked to keep it confidential and so I can't post it here). This is very frustrating, and I think it keeps many people from contributing to CentOS. Best Regards, -- Durval Menezes (durval AT tmp DOT com DOT br, http://www.tmp.com.br/)

Third repos CentOS 5 compatibility
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hi all, I've always used kb, dries and dag's repos in CentOS 4.x. Now I'm testing CentOS 5.x (congratulation for your great work!) and I wonder if the three popular repos called above are available/compatible for CentOS 5. I've considered to approach this question to repos mantainers directly, but I know they read and contribute the present list in active way. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

anaconda dispatch.py
by Nicholas Byrne 05 May '07

05 May '07

re CentOS 5 release I'm doing a kickstart, in the post section i mount and access the CDROM. This works with most CDROM's with motorised drives however on drives that have an eject only type mechanism (i.e. laptop/1u server cdroms) i cannot do this as the eject is happening before the %post section. With the fully motorised drives the mount attempt retracts the CDROM draw so it works. I tracked this down to Anaconda's dispatch.py ordering, it has: ("methodcomplete", doMethodComplete, ), ("dopostaction", doPostAction, ), which in my opinion is wrong, (methodcomplete does the eject). It should be the other way around i.e. ("dopostaction", doPostAction, ), ("methodcomplete", doMethodComplete, ), Has this been done on purpose, i would think a lot of people access the CDROM in post scripts... or is this just a bug imported from the upstream vendors version? My colleague has opened a bug on this with rh - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239002 , should we open one on the CentOS tracker as well? Thanks and regards Nick PS as always apologies for the corporate footer that i cant get rid of.
