install CentOS using an external USB cdrom
by Ian Brown 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hello, I have an external USB cdrom ; I have a machine which does not have a VGA card and not a standard IDE socket so you cannot connect a CDROM internally to it ; it has USB port; I want to install CentOS using an external USB cdrom on this machine, through the serial port. Is there a way to do it ? I am quite desperate about it. The motherboard DOES enable configuing the BIOS to boot from a USB device. Regards, IB

php on command line problems
by Kai Schaetzl 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

The installed php on CentOS/RHEL is the CGI version. This means I should be able to get command line arguments with $GLOBALS['argv'] or $_SERVER['argv']. That's how the php documentation tells and how it works f.i. on Suse. However, on CentOS I get them only when I use the -n switch to php (no php.ini). The problem with -n is that php cannot find the mysql_connect function for some unknown reason. So, how can I get to argv without using -n? Or can I add the cli version with an additional rpm? I search with yum for php-cli and cli-php, but didn't find such a package. Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

OT: SME Server7.0rc1 help request
by Raghavendra Moktali 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hi, sorry for the post here. I was hoping if someone has seen an error as described below. google did not give much links. System: PIII,450Mhz, Intel board SR440BX, 320MB ram, Segate 7200 rpm 80g gb disk. cdrom: cdrw-samsung52X/teac32x Bug report: http://www.contribs.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1187 SME server Version: 7.0rc1 iso. image verifies md5 on windows xp system. Problem: monitor displays the following and freezes. loading vmlinuz......... loading initrd.img............. Ready. What's wrong here? I am not able to get to the media check. FC5, WinXP boot and install. So i am thinking no hardware fault. Changing CD drive does not help. previous versions: Centos 4.2 server CD installs and is fine. I only wanted a UI as i am not very familar to the command line(read newbie). I had loaded sme server 6.0 on this system successfully. I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. As this is OT, an off list reply also is ok with me. TIA, Raghavendra Moktali

CentOS 4.3 i586 install option
by Gerald Waugh 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Johnny Hughes wrote in thread RE: [CentOS] install CentOS using an external USB cdrom Changing Subject to CentOS 4.3 i586 install option Last few post on the thread "install CentOS using an external USB cdrom" should have been "serial console install" or similar > instead of > linux your_options_here > use > i586 your_options_here > (that is w/ the 4.3 version of CentOS ... with versions of > CentOS-4 before 4.3 ... and with CentOS-3 ... nothing special > is required to install on i586) Johnny, Thanks for the info. We do an install from a single custom CD. Would I add the i586 option to isolinux/isolinux.cfg in an append statement??? Maybe something like; append i586 ks=cdrom:/ks/custom-config-file <and> <so> <forth> Gerald

Ssoundblaster audigy and alsamixer
by Lorin B Pino 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I have an interesting problem. I have no sound through the sound card, but I can use the onboard sound ok. The reason I have no sound is that the slider for "audigy analog/digital output jack" is missing in the gnome mixer. The label is there, and a mute box are there, but no sliders. When I bring up alsa mixer in the console, there is a box for a slider, but no slider. According to soundcard detection, the module "snd-emu10k1" is installed. If I switch the speakers to the headphone jack, I can get some sound, although it is with a lot of static. This is a dual boot machine with suse 9.2, so I know the card works. Any ideas? ~Lorin

newbie kernel question
by Nick Smith 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Im sorry if this is a newb question, but how do you recompile the kernel in CentOS 4.3? I need to add reiserfs support (even though the setup detected it) the kernel it gave me didnt have support for reiserfs, and my entire fileserver is all reiserfs. I tried the gentoo way, which im use to and it bombed. What do i need to do? does it install kernel source by default? I couldnt find any good documentation on the subject, and this is my first RH type install. thanks Nick

CentOS 4.3 occasionally locking up accessing IDE drive
by Bart Schaefer 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

For those who haven't seen my several previous postings about problems with this (now not quite so) new PC, I have an ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The boot drive and primary filesystems are on an SATA disk and I'm having no problem with that. However, I recently plugged in a couple of IDE drives salvaged from my old PCs and I'm running into trouble with one of those. The drive in question is a 20GB Maxtor 92049U6. It had an old RH5.2 ext2 filesystem on it when I first plugged it in, from which I tried to recover some data to back up to CD. Mostly this worked, but I started encountering read errors accessing some files so I unmounted the partition and started a fsck on it. At some point during the fsck (I was off doing something else on another workspace at the time), the system locked up hard, leaving the disk activity LED lit. I had to reset the PC. So at that point I booted single-user and ran the fsck from there. It completed successfully after fixing a number of problems. I continued into multi-user mode, finished doing my backups, repartitioned the drive, and started "mkfs -t ext3 -c" on the larger partition, to check for bad blocks. Again at some point part way through the mkfs, the system locked up. Back to single user mode, run the "mkfs", everything finishes fine. Back to multi-user mode, start to copy some large files onto the drive. MD5 sums fail to match for some of the copied files. Unmounted and started up "fsck -y". This succeeded, after fixing a number of errors, so (at this point just as a test case) I re-copied the files with bad MD5s. Some of these came through OK this time, others still did not. I decided perhaps this meant there were still bad blocks on the drive that a read-only test was not finding. You'd think I'd have learned, but encouraged by the success of the previous fsck I optimistically started up another "fsck -c -c -y" on the suspect partition, and this time I waited around to watch it. About 1.6GB into the 16GB partition, the system locked up again. This time I booted into a hard disk diagnostic program instead of into CentOS. After running overnight last night, a non-destructive read-write surface-scan reported no problems with the drive. This leads me to suspect that the problem is with linux, but I don't know how to proceed with diagnosing it. Suggestions would be appreciated.
