Help with megaraid_mbox driver
by Scott Sharkey 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi All, I've built a custom CD based on CentOS 4.2. An OOB CentOS 4.2 disk will detect the megaraid (Perc4) card in a Dell 1850/2850, and load properly. My version does not. I have checked, and the original shipping kernel for CentOS contains the same megaraid_mbox driver as the updated kernel that is on my CD. Basically, my CD removed some RPMS, and added others for a custom distro. As far as I can see, the proper kernel files are still present (I'm using an unmodified buildinstall script, and Johnny Hughes' build script for the CD). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to figure out why the new CD says it cannot find an appropriate hard drive to install on? Is there something specific that would be missing like pcitables, etc? Thanks for any advice or suggestions. -Scott

CentOS 4 x86_64 - Nagios plugins compile issue
by Tom Brown 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi Trying to compile nagios plugins on an x86_64 box as i have non standard locations for some software and coming accross this issue. The plugins compile OK but the check_mysql plugin fails to compile and i see this error in the compile log configure:9368: checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient configure:9398: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/opt/mysql/include -L. conftest.c -lmysqlclient -L/opt/mysql/lib -lz >&5 /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /opt/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a when searching for -lmysqlclient /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient | char mysql_init (); | mysql_init (); configure:9436: checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient configure:9466: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/opt/mysql/include -L. conftest.c -lmysqlclient >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient | char mysql_close (); | mysql_close (); configure:10217: WARNING: Skipping mysql plugin any ideas about this as i have to compile these myself - Mysql is being found and does run so any ideas would be great. Tne nagios list has drawn a blank so far. thanks

Http proxy set in yum.conf is not working for the new yum mirrorlist system
by Radu Radutiu 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi, It seems that the new update system does not consider the proxy option set yum.conf. After installing centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm together with the new yum packages, I was no longer able to use yum. In my case HTTP access is allowed only through a proxy. The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything works. If I comment out the mirrorlist lines in CentOS-Base.repo yum is working fine without setting http_proxy environment variable (using the proxy defined in yum.conf). Anyone else seeing this or am I doing something wrong? Regards, Radu

It SEEMs that jpackage has a java JDK that I can use? http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=3319 It is 1.5.0 and the Centos instructions (http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=516&highlight=centos) recommend 1.4.2, but oh well. So do I put in 2 yum repros in /etc/yum.repos.d? CentOS-Base.repo is currently in there. Can I add: jpackage.repo and install their gpg key? then: yum install java-1.5.0-sun-compat ??? After that, a yum update would first hit the Centos site for updates, then the jpackage? thanks! >-- >Jim Perrin >System Architect - UIT >Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center >_______________________________________________ >CentOS mailing list >CentOS(a)centos.org >http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Enabling POP3 on CentOS4 / dovecot
by Bart Schaefer 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I'm bringing up a new CentOS 4 machine on my home network. It's intended to replace a crufty machine that has been acting as my mail gateway. The existing machine does spam and virus filtering, and then I let my kids get their mail off it with POP3 from another machine on the home office LAN (so they're not competing with me for the keyboard when I'm working). Dovecot starts up an IMAP4 server but not a POP3 server. Is there a standard configuration (an RPM I've failed to install? an /etc/sysconfig script? somthing I can "chkconfig on" that I'm just not seeing?) for enabling POP3 with dovecot on RHEL4/CentOS4?

Does your rkhunter do an md5 check?
by Jim Smith 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I rebuilt rkhunter-1.2.8-1.noarch.rpm by using the spec and tgz from the rkhunter site (www.rootkit.nl). (I rebuilt it using his instructions.) However rkhunter does not do an md5 check. The box used to have fedora and each time there were updates it would complain that the some of the md5's don't match. I contacted the author using his contact feature on Wednesday but he hasn't replied. I know Karanbir's repo has 1.1.9 (as does fedora development), but i thought I'd have the latest. The box has # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.2 (Final) which is supported in the os.dat file in rkhunter.

ssh x11 forwarding problem
by Tony Schreiner 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I'm running into an a problem with x11 forwarding over ssh I'm trying to run an application (rasmol - molecule viewing program) which when using the the default setup for x11 forwarding causes the following error: X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 132 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_ShmAttach) Serial number of failed request: 230 Current serial number in output stream: 231 It used to be possible to overcome this by setting X11UseLocalhost no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config This worked in CentOS 3 but does not in CentOS 4 (or Fedora 4 for that matter), and I'm guessing it is a XFree86 vs. Xorg issue. Now, when using X11UseLocalhost no no X applications work ssh myserver # echo $DISPLAY myserver.fqdn:10.0 # xdpyinfo xdpyinfo: unable to open display "myserver.fqdn:10.0". I have X11 forwarding set up on the client side by default. on the other hand if I don't use tunneling, but set DISPLAY=myclient: 0 and xhost +myserver on the client then the application works. I prefer to use tunneling if possible. Thoughts about why X11UseLocalhost doesn't work? Tony Schreiner

kernel panic: Assertion failure in __journal_unfile_buffer()
by Ulrik S. Kofod 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

I was just extracting a 96MB tar file ( tar -xWf backup.tar ), the cpu load was 99% for a long time. I then stopped it and tried again, but this time this popped up in my ssh session: -- Message from syslogd@rock at Sat Feb 18 00:47:05 2006 ... rock kernel: Assertion failure in __journal_unfile_buffer() at fs/jbd/transaction.c:1520: "jh->b_jlist < 9" -- A kernel panic dump is displayed on the servers monitor. Here is what I can remember: Call trace: jurnal_commit_transaction+<something> [jdb] Is the panic dump stored anywhere? When I rebooted, the raid set was dirty and it was re-synced, it did not mark a drive faulty or started using a spare, the raid set still uses the same two disks and now everything seems normal, except this is the second time it does this. It is a fresh install of Cent-OS 4.2 from the DVD image and with the latest updates from yum. The server has 4 80GB software mirrored IDE disks, 2 + 2 spares, one on each channel of a HPT374 controller. I have no idea about what to look for; I have tested the disks many times with the vendor tools and no errors have been found.
