Dell PE 6850 with CentOS-3
by Morten Tørmoen 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Hi list, I'm seeing problems when probing cdrom and floppy devices on a Dell PowerEdge 6850 (4x3.16GHz, 16GB RAM) with CentOS-3.4 using 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELhugemem. When I run snmpwalk the system hangs with 100% wait on all 8 cpu's (in HyperThreading mode) for approx 20s before it goes back to idle state. Same thing if I open/probe any of the cdrom/floppy devices in other ways also. If I BIOS-disable cdrom and floppy and prevents loading of these modules, the symptoms are gone and snmpwalk runs fine. ...but the problem still exits. :-) Has anyone encountered similar problems? Best regards, Morten -- morten tørmoen, morten(a)basefarm.no, +47 97 77 47 77 basefarm as, http://www.basefarm.no, +47 40 00 41 00

OT: question on setting up an email server
by Jimmy Bradley 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Hi guys, I realize that this might be considered to be off topic, but the machine I want to use is running Cent OS. Ok, this is what I'm thinking about trying, and mainly just to see if I can do it. I've got a total of 3 linux machines here, and I was thinking about setting one of them up as an email server. Now, I'm not talking about setting the machine up so that all I run on it is an email client like thunderbird, or evolution and retrieve email from my email account at bellsouth. What I want to try and do is set the machine up so that my machine is the email server, and I retrieve my email from it. Is what I'm thinking about even possible, or am I just simply having a case of too much oxygen on the brain? If what I'm thinking about is possible, how would I go about doing it? Thanks Jimmy

CentOS 4.0 -> 4.1 update failing
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

I've updated CentOS 4.0 to 4.1 on several machines (some desktops, some servers). However on my laptop, update is failing with following error just after headers are downloaded: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 for package: glibc --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 is needed by package glibc My CentOS.repo is a standard one, as distributed with CentOS. I don't have any additional repos defined on my laptop. I attempted to clear yum cache (rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*). Rerun yum update, and got the same error again. Looking at the /var/cache/yum/base/headers, I see that yum downloaded headers for gblic-common, glibc-devel, and glibc-headers, but not for glibc. Seems as if yum did not considered base glibc package to be due for update. Running rpm -q glibc, shows that currently installed version of glibc is 2.3.4-2 (and all the other currently installed glibc packages are at the same version level). I don't remember doing anything fancy on that laptop that could have triggered this problem. Basically, it was normal install (desktop+devel packages mostly), and after that it was regulary updated from cron. Of course, as a workaround I could download glibc and related packages and update it by hand, and than rerun yum update to get all other updates from 4.1. But, I though it would be more fun if anybody could give me hint or two why yum failed to update this particular system.

Shouldn't we be using rsync instead of wget? > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org > [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Paul > Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 8:37 PM > To: CentOS mailing list > Subject: Re: [CentOS] script to make a CentOS 4.0 respository > updates server... > > On Mon, 2005-06-20 at 14:14 -0500, israel.garcia(a)cimex.com.cu wrote: > > List, I have a CentOS 4.0 server in my intranet which will > serves as a > > CentOS repository updates, so I need a script to do that job, I can > > not use RSYNC.

On my Centos 3.4 boxes that were up to date a day or two ago, yum wants to update just about everything today. Is that normal? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 4.0 -> 4.1 update failing

From: Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)mattdm.org> > I think it goes something like this: "Bu.... bigger number... bigger > number faster! Want bigger number!" :) Never confuse marketing with actual ISA compatibility and optimization. Consider an i586 ISA target (--march=i586) or ISA optimization (--mopt=i586) a _de-optimization_ for i686 ISA compatible processors. And that include's Intel's own Pentium Pro/II, III/M, 4, etc... Just because it's higher doesn't necessarily mean better. Heck, Intel is going back to the P3 core because the P4 core isn't scaling, and it was a really quick hack that has poor ALU and FPU performance MHz for MHz compared to the PPro-P3 design. -- Bryan J.
