error Centos4 image

Hello all! Actually I use dual boot PC with CentOS4 (kernel 2.6.9-11) and WinXP (HDD 20GB, 512MB, PentiumIII 800MHz), but I have the following problem doing the image with g4u ----BEGIN ERROR MESSAGGE---- wd0: (uncorrectable data error) 8951MB 1.59MB/s wd0d: error reading fsbn 18333440 of 18333440 - 18333567 (wd0 bn 18333440; cn 18187 tn 14 sn 62) retrying wd0: (uncorrectable data error) 8951MB 1.59MB/s wd0d: error reading fsbn 18333440 of 18333440 - 18333567 (wd0 bn 18333440; cn 18187 tn 15 sn 52) retrying ----END ERROR MESSAGGE---- I review the HDD partition with the g4u command "parts" g4u>parts wd0 Found NTFS partition; size 20482812 (10001MB), offset 63 skipping existing NTFS partition at slot e Found Linux EXT2 partition; size 192780 (94MB), offset 20482875 skipping existing Linux EXT2 partition at slot f Found swap partition; size 2040255 (996MB), offset 20675655 skipping existing swap partition at slot g Found Linux EXT2 partition; size 17157357 18377 (94MB), offset 22715973 skipping existing Linux EXT2 partition at slot i 9 partition # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs] d: 39876480 0 unused 0 0 #(cyl . 0-39559) e: 20482812 63 NTFS #(cyl . 0*-20320*) f: 192780 20482875 Linux Ext2 0 0 #(cyl. 20320*-20511*) g: 2040255 20675655 swap #(cyl . 20511*-22535*) i: 17157357 22715973 Linux Ext2 0 0 #(cyl . 22535*-39556*) I'm not sure about the mean of d partition. Somebody has made successful images of Centos4 with g4u?, I really apreciate any ideas. I posted a similar message to g4u but they didn't response yet. Thanks in advance, regards Juan P. Espino

SiL311x SataRaid (sata_sil)
by Dag Wieers 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Hi, On my x86_64 system I have a SiL311x controller that can do RAID. If I configure my 2 identical disks in a RAID1 setup, I would expect to see only 1 block device on Linux. Still I see 2 block devices. Is this intentional, and if so, isn't that dangerous ? (i.e. writing to both disks at the same time) Anyone with an insight, please explain :) -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

screen fonts

Does anyone know of any programs capable of fine tuning my screen display settings? I'm using the NVIDIA drivers, and everything is slightly blurry - regardless of how much (or little) I set anti-aliasing to.

Re: screen fonts -- LCD and Analog Connections ...

Some are very good at taking the timings of VESA standards. But some support some eccentric Windows timings that are _not_ the exact same as VESA. Or maybe you have configured your monitor for X with bandwidths that exceed the typical VESA modelines. E.g., did you upgrade from a CRT and just leave your X configuration intact? If so, then you might be sending 70, 72, 75 or 85Hz modes for 1024x768. And even though your LCD might support that analog signaling, it's not as ideal as using the VESA standard modes (typically 60Hz for 1024x768 on a LCD). You need to open up your LCD user's manual, find the resolution you want, and input the _exact_ 1) Bandwidth 2) Horizonal Sync and 3) Vertical Sync for that mode into a modeline calculator. Then put those modelines into your XF86Config/xorg.conf. Otherwise, at 1024x768, you're going to see a lot of the distortions. It has nothing to do with fonts. Ideally you should be using DVI and not an analog connector. That removes the problem entirely. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: X-Windows on... Windows
by James B. Byrne 18 Jun '05

Thank you all for the advice. I had cygwin installed many years ago but that machine has gone the way of all silicon. While not terribly involved it seems overkill for the present need, which is just to run a single x-windowed application on a very occassional basis. I will look into the rest of the proposed solutions this weekend. Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is not a secure channel *** mailto:byrnejb.<token>@harte-lyne.ca James B.

Re: [CentOS] Screen blanking

To get it to persist across boots (and to not have to enter it by hand every time), you need to insert the command into the boot sequence. You can add this line to /etc/rc.local or add a script to /etc/init.d and have it run in appropriate run levels (probably all, so 12345).
