anaconda in centOS 4 fails to read md raid arrays
by Feizhou 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Has anybody encountered this problem? I have a box that has FC2 installed. I wanted to trash the FC2 installation and install CentOS 4. I have a pxeboot/dhcp/kickstart environment and so I tried automatic disk partitioning (clear all partitions and then create new ones), manual disk partitioning but everything else is automated and finally, zero automation, just a manual installation through VNC. Once I reach a part that touchs disk, the process will stop and end up with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 789, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 171, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 239, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partitioning.py", line 54, in partitionObjectsInitialize partitions.setFromDisk(diskset) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py", line 140, in setFromDisk diskset.startAllRaid() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 542, in startAllRaid DiskSet.mdList.extend(raid.startAllRaid(driveList)) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/raid.py", line 106, in startAllRaid mdList = scanForRaid(driveList) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.13//usr/lib/anaconda/raid.py", line 56, in scanForRaid (major, minor, raidSet, level, nrDisks, totalDisks, mdMinor) =\ File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 97, in raidsb return raidsbFromDevice("/tmp/md") File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 103, in raidsbFromDevice rc = _isys.getraidsb(fd) SystemError: (5, 'Input/output error')

Need help with postgresql authentication set up
by James B. Byrne 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

OS - CentOS4 PostgreSQL = 8.0.3 I think that I need to locate a custom pam module to use in pg_hba.conf that will allow phpPgAdmin to authenticate users against /etc/password (shadow). I cannot seem to find a straight forward reference to such a beast either in the documentation or on the web. The pam modules that I have found through google seem to be intended to allow one to authenticate against a pg database rather than designed to allow postmast to authenticate users against unix. pam_unix modules do not seem work perhaps because postmast runs as user postgres and this user does not posses sufficient authority to access /etc/passwd etc. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

apple to Intel
by William Warren 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

I am wondering what the list's opinion is on the Apple to Intel switch. This is going to put a slick desktop that runs on top of BSD directly into the mainstream. What does this hold for Linux in general, Linux on the desktop..and microsoft. -- Computer House Calls, Networks, Security, Web Design: http://www.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com What businesses are in Brunswick, Maryland?

New to CentOS, miss Grip
by Dick Roth 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hi there-- Just installed CentOS 4 the other night and can figure out how to install Grip. I can't seem to satisfy the dependencies. Has anyone had success? Is there a reason why Grip isn't part of the distro that I should know about? My old distro was FC2. This was a wholesale installation and not an upgrade. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dick -- Pithy saying goes here: (future).

Re: [CentOS] apple to Intel
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 07 Jun '05

From: William Warren <hescominsoon(a)emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com> > I am wondering what the list's opinion is on the Apple to Intel > switch. It means that IBM thinks like a foundary, not like a PowerPC partner. Let's face it, for Sony and Microsoft, they make millions of units of the exact same product. For Apple, they are wanting multiple products with 1/10th the volume. So this wasn't a surprise, especially with Intel courting Apple since '03. It also explains why Apple didn't go AMD, even though they were using HyperTransport for I/O interconnect on the PowerPC 970/G5 (although not the full NUMA/HyperTransport that A64/Opteron does). AMD can't offer the "preferred status" deals/margins that Intel can. > This is going to put a slick desktop that runs on top of > BSD directly into the mainstream. Well, I always thought Apple was mainstream. It's still not a PC. It won't run on all PCs. That's fine, I always liked Apple's designs more. If they become the economies-of-scale competitor to Dell, that's fine with me -- and I'll even pay 20% more than Dell for them. In fact, I hope to God that Apple's firmware ends up being a standard approach that replaces the God awful PC BIOS. Even if Apple won't ever open it up so MacOS X runs on regular PCs, at least it will be nice to see a good firmware on a PC platform for once! (God I hate the PC BIOS compared to countless other platforms!) > What does this hold for Linux in general, Linux on the desktop..and > microsoft. It means that you'll be able to tri-boot. And if Apple does as good of a job on the new PC firmware that they did on their PowerPC, then multi-boot geometry/conflicts are a thing of the past. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Autorollback Patches for CentOS 4 RPM
by Sam Hart 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hi all, For anyone interested, I have just ported James Oden's Autorollback/Autorollback-goal RPM patches to the version of RPM present inside of CentOS 4. The patched RPMs, SRPM and raw patches can be found online here: http://hackers.progeny.com/~sam/RPM-Autorollback/ Specifically, you can find those for CentOS 4 here: http://hackers.progeny.com/~sam/RPM-Autorollback/#wherecentos4 One of the goals of the AR/ARBG patches is to prevent failed RPM transactions from leaving a system in an unusable state. They were designed with Carrier Grade Linux in mind, but I'd wager there could be applications elsewhere. These are the patches taken from RPM's CVS and ported into the CentOS 4 version (4.3.3). Any questions, comments, feel free to send them to me off-list. -- ''''''''''''''''''''''''' .O. Sam Hart, sam(a)progeny.com ..O Progeny Linux Systems, Inc OOO <http://www.progeny.com/>
