Upgrade install using CentOS-3.1 ISO images
by Bart Schaefer 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Cutting straight to the chase: When, if ever, does the installer offer an option to upgrade an existing installation, rather than wanting to reformat the disks? More details than you may want: I recently acquired a new PC chassis, with no operating system but with a Serial-ATA disk (which I was not expecting when I ordered it). I set the BIOS for legacy IDE mode and installed RedHat 9, then attempted to upgrade the kernel to add SATA support, without much luck. Searching for the SATA driver modules I found CentOS and decided to try it. I downloaded the three ISO images to another PC, burned CDs, and set about to upgrade my RH9. However, the installer never offered me the option of upgrading (keeping my existing filesystems) -- no matter what steps I tried using when starting the installer, by the time it got to the page for disk partitioning it always wanted to start from scratch and blow the existing partitions away. I finally concluded that I hadn't put anything important on the disks during my struggle with RH9, so I went ahead with the clean install. Everything is working nicely at this point, so thanks for that. However, there are some other RH9 systems around the office that may need to be upgraded at some point, and they definitely can't be wiped clean in the process. Is there a way to upgrade from RH9 to CentOS? Any remarks about upgrading from even older RedHat releases?

Install additional packages from CD
by Yayan 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hi, Newbie here... :) I've installed Centos 3.1 with selecting Custom Packages. Now, I want to install some packages not installed the first time. The manual says that I can use redhat-config-packages but there are no packages that's not installed, just installed packages. So, I can only remove packages.... So, how do I install addtional packages from CD without having to reinstall? I've tried installing manually by opening the RPMs but it always complain about dependency... Thanks, Yayan

Segmentation Fault when using dig, nslookup, host...
by Tom DE BLENDE (GCC) 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

I have setup Centos-3.1 on a Dell Optiplex GX1 this week. It has to replace an old Compaq Deskpro I used as a firewall/router running the no longer supported RedHat 7.1. I have the NAT firewall up and running, and it works OK. However, there is one thing bugging me. I cannot use any client software that queries a nameserver. I tried to use "dig", "host" and "nslookup", and they all segfault on me. As all these applications suffer from the same problem, I think it has to be a general problem. Name resolution itself works correct, and other than this I cannot find any real indications of problems. On the console I get this message: "request_module[net-pf-10]: fork failed errno 1" When I check /var/log/ksymoops/20040428.log, I see these two lines added: "20040428 091551 start /sbin/modprobe -s -k -- net-pf-10 safemode=1 20040428 091551 probe ended" When doing a strace I get this: "[root@vuurmuur root]# strace nslookup execve("/usr/bin/nslookup", ["nslookup"], [/* 23 vars */]) = 0

[CentOS-devel] Updated kernel package fixes security vulnerabilities.
by Lance Davis 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

There is an updated kernel for CentOS-3.1 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-183.html refers. Updated files are :- all in updates/i386/RPMS/ kernel-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.athlon.rpm kernel-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i686.rpm kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i386.rpm kernel-doc-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i386.rpm kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i686.rpm kernel-hugemem-unsupported-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.athlon.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i686.rpm kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.athlon.rpm kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i686.rpm kernel-source-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i386.rpm kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.athlon.rpm kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL.c0.i686.rpm These are available at http://mirror.centos.org/3.1/ and should be on all mirrors within a few hours. To update to the latest version 'yum update kernel' should be sufficient. In addition CentOS now has a set of i586 rpms in the new 'contrib directory' To access contrib add the following stanza to yum.conf :- [contrib] name=CentOS-$releasever - Contrib baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/contrib/$basearch/ gpgcheck=0 Note that [contrib] rpms are provided by third parties and not necessarily tested by cAos/CentOS developers. They are not signed and thus gpgcheck is 0 for the stanza. Lance

26 Apr '04

Hi, The centos.org home page says CentOS-3 is based on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 ES. Would I be able to run >2 processors and >8GB memory on CentOS-3 (what RHEL _AS_ supports), or am I limited to what RHEL ES supports?

RE: [Centos] Linux 2.6 Kernel
by Sorisio, Chris 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

That might be a nice option for a testing branch, but wouldn't implementing a 2.6 kernel option go against the Centos 3 objective of reimplementing RHEL 3? Some of the 2.6 kernel enhancements have been backported in the Redhat EL kernel, if I understand correctly.

fresh install - resolv.conf error?
by Troy Engel 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Before I submit as a bug, has anyone else encountered -- doing a fresh, clean install of CentOS-3 results in a resolv.conf with only my secondary nameserver listed and the search domain. The install works fine, the eth0 and eth1 (onboard e100's) are detected, all the right info entered, etc -- typical by the book textmode (not GUI) install that I'd normally do with RH9/RHEL3. Static IP eth0, 2 nameservers, eth1 unused left at defaults. Anyone else confirm? Unfortunately the machine is already in production, so wiping and retrying to confirm isn't an option for me. Shoulda thought of that sooner... -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

Mounting Windows partition
by Prasanth S 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Hello, I have recently installed CentOS 3.1 on my laptop and its a dual boot with XP on hda1. I was trying to mount that partion on to /mnt/XP. I have a problem here, when i say df, the listing does not show the XP partion (ntfs/hpfs filesystem). Obviously this can be diagnosed as my kernel does not have the appropriate module (Kernel version 2.4.21-9). I came to know that there is one kernel-ntfs rpm which can help us out here. Could some one get me the link for the appropriate download, as i cant find anything for that kernel version. any new suggestions are highly welcome. Thanks in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions.yahoo.com/design_giveaway/

Upgrade install using CentOS-3.1 ISO images
by Bart Schaefer 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

[This message was held for moderation because the mailing list software doesn't recognize <schaefer@...> and <schaefer+centos@...> as equivalent. That was last Friday, but still no sign of the moderator dealing with it, so I'm resending.] Cutting straight to the chase: When, if ever, does the installer offer an option to upgrade an existing installation, rather than wanting to reformat the disks? More details than you may want: I recently acquired a new PC chassis, with no operating system but with a Serial-ATA disk (which I was not expecting when I ordered it). I set the BIOS for legacy IDE mode and installed RedHat 9, then attempted to upgrade the kernel to add SATA support, without much luck. Searching for the SATA driver modules I found CentOS and decided to try it. I downloaded the three ISO images to another PC, burned CDs, and set about to upgrade my RH9. However, the installer never offered me the option of upgrading (keeping my existing filesystems) -- no matter what steps I tried using when starting the installer, by the time it got to the page for disk partitioning it always wanted to start from scratch and blow the existing partitions away. I finally concluded that I hadn't put anything important on the disks during my struggle with RH9, so I went ahead with the clean install. Everything is working nicely at this point, so thanks for that. However, there are some other RH9 systems around the office that may need to be upgraded at some point, and they definitely can't be wiped clean in the process. Is there a way to upgrade from RH9 to CentOS? Any remarks about upgrading from even older RedHat releases?

Upgrading Heavily Modified RH9 Machines
by Brad Tilley 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

Hello, I have several heavily modified RH9 machines (custom kernels, reiser FS, etc.) Just wondering if CentOS could do an upgrade install on machines such as this? I know it's always better to do a clean install, but these machines have been tweaked a lot over the last year and are running perfectly (a lot of time and effort went into this)... an upgrade install would be great. My main concern is the filesystem. Thanks, Brad

kernel with multi-LUN SCSI support
by Paul M. Wright 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

I am running CentOS 3.1 and everything is working beautifully except my HP12000e tape library that requires multi-LUN support. Every time I re-compile the 2.4.21 kernel with the multi-LUN SCSI option, I get the multi-LUN to work but something else breaks. Is there a pre-compiled kernel somewhere that is similar to the stock CentOS kernel except that it includes the multi-LUN feature? thanks! paul

Update centos-yumconf fixes security issue
by lance＠uklinux.net 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

An update has been released to centos-yumconf , the yum configuration file for centos because it was not set ot check the gpgkey on the packages ity installed. It was assumed that if there was a key then it would be checked, but that is not the case, it has to be explicitly enabled per repo. https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543 refers The updated file is :- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.1/updates/i386/RPMS/centos-yumconf-1-7.… and should be on all mirrors within a few hours. If you run 'yum update' then the package will be automatically updated, however if you run yum against a local, non mirrored repository, or you have edited yum.conf then you may not pick up this update, in which case you should edit yum.conf to add gpgcheck=1 to each repo stanza.
