3Ware 9xxx 9500S-4LP SATA Raid with CentOS3.3?
by Sven 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hello I have at this time a w3are 7006-2 controller in my server Dual Xenon 2.8Ghz . But now i will change it to a 9500S-4LP SATA Raid Controller. I have seen in lsmod that the 7000 driver is loaded. scsi_mod 115112 3 [sg 3w-xxxx sd_mod] My question Is it possible to running this card with centos 3.3? I have seen this at 3ware http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=12706 But there is only for 32 bit Athlon/Opteron computers. How can i get a 3w-9xxx driver for centos 3.3? And what i must do exactly to running these card with centos 3.3 ( installation / kernel ) thanks for every help Sven Sommerlatt

Re: [Centos] partition table Cent4RC1

The warm and fuzzes was mostly towards the rackmount I had put FC3 and FC2 on. FC2 crapped out when the 2.6 kernel was introduced, Fc3 wouldn't even boot past grub. If I had the time I would investigate the situation more, but I'm pretty much the only tech for 250+ desktops and other IT duties. Kickstart is on my long list of things to do. I'm using ghost since, it seems(ed?) to work and its an application my boss is accustomed to. I'm going to stick with Cent3 at work and try Cent4 on my home server. the not being able to boot issue may not have been due to the 2.6 kernel Dave Kaupp Catholic Charities, Diocese of San Diego http://www.ccdsd.org 619-231-2828 x520 619-287-9454 x157 >>> jperrin(a)gmail.com 02/19/05 11:40AM >>> We've had some issues at work with similar things, and it seems due more to breakage in ghost than anything else. Kickstart files work like a champ for making multiple identical machines if that's your thing, but a good kickstart file can also provide you with a fast method to rebuild a server should you feel a burning desire to burn it down and start over. The 2.6 kernel and specifically SELinux give me the most warm&fuzzy feelings I've had for a while. I'd not be so quick to write it off just because some 3rd party (primarily windows oriented app) doesn't work well. Just my $0.02 -- Jim Perrin.

I get a partition table error when trying to use ghost8 to create an image. I was considering putting Cent4 on a ProliantDL380, FC3 installed on that machine but wouldn't boot up, stuck on Grub. I had FC2 on the Proliant but when FC2 went to the 2.6 kernel, it hung up on the Nash prompt. So I ended up putting WBEL on that machine. I'm still evaluating what OS I want to finally put on there.

I'm not getting a lot of warm fuzzies anymore from linux, since the 2.6 kernels have come out. I can hang with CentOS3 until 2008 as long as the kernel stays with something that works.

strange IE problem

Hi, A few of my customers are having this problem with just a few of their customers who are shopping on their stores: >>> About the problem when a user is trying to open our web, the browser will try to download something off http://www.pcgatecomputer.com. It has been tested with many different computers here. Our website will only work with system has Windows XP service pack 2 installed. It's not related to the system cache, because I just tried a fresh built system. It won't load our site at all. >>> I have the xp2 service pack so cannot duplicate the problem. This is also happening on www.bandtobow.com/catalog and if you go to www.bandtobow.com and click on the retail/wholesale link at the top the download box pops up just for some people. Everything works fine in the Firefox browser I was told by a Linux guy. This is not OS related is it?

RHEL 4 Update
by S.Tux 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

I'm not so sure if I'm asking right question so please forgive me; I have RHEL AS 4 media with me here; my company have an active subscription to RHN from for a limited number of servers only. If I add more servers more than allowed channel subscription; up2date doesn't work as you know. That's why I'm introducing CentOS to my company. Now, I just wondering, is there any way I can update a RHEL box using other means rather than RHN? Excluding the manual FTP download and manual RPM installation; is there any other source and means I can use. Again, I hope I'm asking this question safely here. Since I asked already similar question to RH mailing lists; and they arrogantly pointed me here in CentOS - well thanks to them; I found a new home and a new distro. Regards, str

problem with 4 RC1
by Ryan 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Has anyone else had this problem? On my laptop, I am currently running 3.4, no problems (runs really fast). When I formatted and upgraded to 4.0, it made it until the end, then locked up at the "preparing for first boot"..... Eventually I had to cold reboot, and it wouldn't load the kernel at subsequent boots. Back to 3.4 and working fine. I burned another set of CDs thinking it was bad media, but with the same results. Any ideas if this is a bug?

apcupsd on CentOS
by Kurt Bechstein 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Has anyone tried running apcupsd on CentOS with a usb UPS? Just curious since I'm putting together a system like this and I noticed in the apcupsd docs it say: "Linux 2.4 series kernels older than 2.4.22 do not bind the USB device to the proper driver. This is evidenced by /proc/bus/usb/devices listing the UPS correctly but it will have "driver=(none)" instead of "driver=(hid)". This affects RHEL3, among others." I noticed the latest kernel is 2.4.21.xxx for CentOS and just wondered if this was going to cause me problems. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Centos] Knowing what packages come from where in apt/yum

Looking at the output of rpm -qa --qf "%{vendor} - %{name} %{version} - %{arch}\n" on a CentOS 3.4 box, I noticed that package tora-1.3.9.2 (i386) lists the upstream vendor that shall not be named in the "vendor" field.

DVDs are definitely an issue, but Debian ships MP3 players in main, and the binary nVidia drivers are available from non-free[*], so someone thinks it's allowable. (I actually get my nVidia drivers from Dell's dell-nvidia packages, which use their DKMS framework to handle building them for new kernels.) Claire * The copyright file in the Debian nvidia-glx package includes a message from nVidia saying that (1) binary kernel module packages are okay, and (2) splitting the components of the upstream nVidia driver package into separate distro packages is okay. The nVidia guy goes on to say ``Please feel free to redistribute the NVIDIA graphics driver.'' -- the license file for the driver also says 2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the operating Linux system may be copied and redistributed, operating provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files). -- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Claire Connelly cmc(a)math.hmc.edu Systems Administrator (909) 621-8754 Department of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
