kernel recompile - make modules_install fails.
by K Web 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

I'm trying to recompile the kernel on a CentOS4 (final) 2.6.9 kernel. I tried two different approaches and both fail at the same place : 1. downloaded kernel-sources.2.6.9...rpm 2. downloaded kernel.2.6.9....src.rpm in both cases I've been able to go through : make oldconfig make menuconfig make bzImage make modules however when I run make modules_install I get this error : ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1 if I do make -d modules_install it goes through some stuff and finally shows this: No need to remake target `Makefile'. Updating goal targets.... Considering target file `modules_install'. File `modules_install' does not exist. Considering target file `_modinst_'. File `_modinst_' does not exist. Finished prerequisites of target file `_modinst_'. Must remake target `_modinst_'. Got a SIGCHLD; 2 unreaped children. Got a SIGCHLD; 1 unreaped children.

Question on centos4-anaconda.patch
by Simone 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, I was going through the anaconda patch and I have a question. At line 125, when patching kickstart-docs.html, RedHat/base/comps.xml is changed into CentOS/base/comps.xml. No change is made to the fact that the file should be found "on the first Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROM". Would it be more correct to change it to "the first CentOS CD-ROM"? Thanks for your attention, have a nice day Simone

RHN registration
by Simone 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Hi, just installed, CentOS4 from DVD (first CentOS installation), and after first reboot as soon as I log in, I receive a "Subscription Alert" that tells me to activate my subscription to RHN so to keep my system safe. Is this normal that I get on CentOS an invitation to register to Red Hat Network and to download/install RedHat key? Did you ever think about getting rid of this, just think it could be confusing for someone. Just my 1 cent. Have a nice day Simone

Rebuilding suggestions
by Simone 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

Hi, for the fun of having my own distro, I am rebuilding from sources and finally am at a good point. My next problem is to find all the trademarks and get rid of them. I already checked some of packages but still have some redhat stuff showing during install process that I can't seem to be able to get rid oft. Can you please indicate me the packages you've worked on while developing CentOS4?

VERY Important: CESA naming conventions
by donavan nelson 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (sorry about the cross post, this is vital information to get out) The following naming conventions have been established for posts to the CentOS-announce mailing list. The purpose is to ensure uniformity across products, architectures, releases etc. This will allow easier and simpler automated CESA (CentOS Errata and Security Advisory) processing by end users. === CentOS-announce Subject Construction Guidelines for Errata and Product Announcements ~ For Errata Postings (all one line) ~ Subject: [CentOS-announce] CESA-$NUMBER: $priority CentOS $release $arch $package - $brief_description ~ First Line of Message: CentOS Errata and Security Advisory $NUMBER ~ where: ~ $NUMBER: use $RH_NUMBER if the matter is a result ~ of a RH?A, if not, YYYY-MMDD-SEQ ~ where: ~ YYYY-MMDD -- is in UTC, ~ SEQ is an increasing 3 digit number starting ~ at 000 each day, for the time being SEQ ~ numbers will be stored on the master mirror ~ in /centos/centos-cesa.txt. Developers ~ posting errata with a $NUMBER that is ~ CentOS errata will need to check the file for ~ an existing number for a given problem or ~ create a new number and add it to the file. ~ $priority: follows RH levels ~ $release: one of 4, 3, or 2 ~ For Product Releases (all one line) ~ Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release Announcement: $name $version $arch Note: [CentOS-announce] is automatically added by mailman. Note: All official announcements should be signed by your CentOS ~ signed key.

Welcome to the New CentOS-devel Mailing List
by Lance Davis 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

As you will know from recent posts, CentOS is separating from cAos to become an independent project. As part of that change we are implementing new mailing lists. This new mailing list is now known as centos-devel(a)centos.org and you have been subscribed to it if you were subscribed to centos-devel(a)caosity.org. Due to the large number of people subscribed it has not been possible to retain options etc across to the new list, so if you only want to receive digests or need to change any other options then you will need to login to change them. You can find out the password assigned to you by having it emailled to you from :- http://lists.centos.org/mailman/options/centos-devel The archive of posts has been transferred across to the new list manager, and posts to the old address will make it to the new list. Regards Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.
