Will it be possible to go from fedora to CentOS(THEL)4? -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

RAID card recommendation
by Sean Leach 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hey all, After seeing the horrible lack of support for Promise cards in Redhat Enterprise/CentOS, I am looking for a recommendation for a good IDE RAID controller that is supported out of the box (i.e. I would prefer not to have to install via a driver disk). I would prefer ATA 133 over Serial ATA for now. Thanks! Sean

[Fwd: problems with ppp]
by Michiel van Es 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hi, I installed CentOS 3.3 and kept the machine up2date. I installed poptop and the newest ppp-cvs version ( ppp-2.4.3-0.cvs_20040527.6) We are running a ssh + ppp tunnel for our internet tunnel/tunnel to our NOC. After the upgrade we see these error messages while starting the tunnel: Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-24 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-24 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:41 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-24 Jan 24 15:00:42 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21 I googled and found that we have to add some aliases,like so: /etc/modules.conf: alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp #alias ppp-compress-21 off alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate But still after a pppd restart the problem persists (ppp failes and reconnects) ..am I a missing a package or do I have to do another thing to enable these modules? I can find the .c files: [root@natgw etc]# locate bsd_comp /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/drivers/net/bsd_comp.c but not the modules (.o files) Thanks for your help. -- Kind Regards,

Re: Changing booted Kernel with grub
by Ben Hanson 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Just another note regarding SMP kernel. I've never had an issue, and am currently running dual XEON 2.4's. Well, I've had issue with kernel upgrades and the megaraid2 driver, but that seems to be a result of Dell's dkms enabled driver setup, rather than the kernel itself. Ben

Changing booted Kernel with grub
by Wayne Bastow 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Hi, I have updated the kernel to 2.4.21-27.0.2 on Centos 3.4 (was 3.3 when I did the kernel update) and have modified grub.conf to use the single CPU kernel: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p6 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0 default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.2.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.img title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp.img title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.1.EL) ....... I then created a new symbolic link for Sytem.map in /boot to point to System.map-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL. When I reboot the 2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp is used and System.map has been changed to point to the smp kernel. Is there a step I'm missing out? BTW, the upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 using yum seems to have worked - I'm running Oracle on the server. Thanks, Wayne

RHEL question
by Steve Meyers 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

I work for a small company, and we're running CentOS on our servers. We are looking to possibly move our most critical servers to RHEL. We currently use apt to deploy software upgrades to our servers. I have a question about RHEL subscriptions that they don't seem to be able to answer for me. If you have an RHEL subscription, do you have access to manually download the RPMs? We would prefer to deploy upgrades using apt instead of up2date, for consistency, but we need to know whether we can even do that on RHEL. Thanks! Steve Meyers
