OT Clarkconnect Firewall/Router updates
by w.arkwolf 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hello All, I have several Centos boxes I am very pleased with. I run another box with the Clarkconnect distribution as a dedicated firewall. Since the Clarkconnect distro is built from Centos I was wondering if anyone knows what needs to be installed on this box so that I could use yum to keep it up to date? Apologies if this is not the proper venue for this question. -Arkwolf

CentOS 4 and laptop and wifi works
by jim stockford 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

I want to buy a laptop and install CentOS 4 on it and have the wifi work when I'm done. (Hoping for reasonable specs: 2GHz, 40GB drive, 1/2 to 1 GB RAM, CD-ROM, light and thin, 13 or 14 inch screen....) Any recommendations?

EXT3-fs error (devive dm-0) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted
by Alfred von Campe 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

My recently installed CentOS 4.3 system (which is the kickstart server for other systems -- see other thread) is currently hung. I can ping it, but can't do much of anything else. When I switch to one of the virtual consoles, I can briefly see the "login:" prompt, but then that window immediately fills with up with the following message: EXT3-fs error (devive dm-0) in start_transaaction: Journal has aborted This is displayed over and over again. I used the default (automatic) partitioning scheme, so the root file system is an ext3 partition on a logical volume that spans most of the disk (everything except for the swap partition and /boot). Anyone else seen this? Any ideas as to what would cause this? I'll be rebooting the system shortly... Alfred

DNS Server and SQL backend
by Rodrigo Barbosa 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think most people here use BIND as their DNS server of choise. I just happen to have updated DLZ patch for the current bind version. DLZ patch allows you to use mysql (pgsql, ldap etc) as a backend for zone storage. I make no garantees, of course, but if anyone is interested on the patch (with or without the specfile for rpm building), please let me know.

x86_64 reproducible server PANIC with latest kernel
by Kay Diederichs 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Our Tyan VX50 server, which is otherwise stable, can be crashed by a specific user who starts a Java application. Relevant facts are: x86_64 CentOS 4.3 fully updated (but otherwise default config) 8 Dual-Core Opteron 870 (2 GHz), giving 16 cores 32 GB memory (running at DDR333) The panic is reproducible within a couple of minutes. I tried the 2.6.9-42 largesmp kernel from J.Baron's website because it has some fixes, but the result is the same as with 2.6.9-34.0.2-largesmp . The panic is not triggered by memory overcommitment, when the crash occurs, there is still 8GB free memory and the swap space is untouched. This is the start of the dmesg output which I could capture from a "netconsole": NMI Watchdog detected LOCKUP, CPU=6, registers: CPU 6 Modules linked in: vmnet(U) vmmon(U) netconsole netdump ppdev nfs nfsd exportfs lockd nfs_acl md5 ipv6 parport_pc lp parport autofs4 w83627hf i2c_sensor i2c_isa i2c_dev i2c_core sunrpc ipt_REJECT ipt_state ip_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables dm_mirror dm_mod button battery ac ohci_hcd ehci_hcd tg3 floppy ext3 jbd raid1 raid0 sata_nv libata sd_mod scsi_mod Pid: 16269, comm: java Tainted: PF 2.6.9-42.ELlargesmp RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8030a9aa>] <ffffffff8030a9aa>{.text.lock.spinlock+46} RSP: 0000:000001032d1a1e08 EFLAGS: 00000086 RAX: 000001032c2e5030 RBX: 00000107fc53dac8 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000001032d1a1f58 RSI: 000001032d1a1ef8 RDI: 00000107fc53dac8 RBP: 000001032d1a1e78 R08: 0000000000000007 R09: 0000002a95905ac8 R10: 0000002a95905ad6 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 000001032d1a1ef8 R14: 000001032d1a1f58 R15: 000001032c2e5708 FS: 0000000042a7b960(005b) GS:ffffffff804f8000(0000) knlGS:00000000f7e886c0 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000002a95ed2f88 CR3: 00000006fc7a2000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Process java (pid: 16269, threadinfo 000001032d1a0000, task 000001032c2e5030) Stack: 000001032d1a1f58 ffffffff80142d80 0000000042a78610 000001032d1a1f58 0000000042a78610 0000000000000000 0000002be7877da0 0000000000000042 000001032d1a1ef8 ffffffff8010f6fb Call Trace:<ffffffff80142d80>{get_signal_to_deliver+64} <ffffffff8010f6fb>{do_signal+131} <ffffffff801100b4>{sys_rt_sigreturn+619} <ffffffff80110129>{sys_rt_sigreturn+736} <ffffffff80110902>{retint_signal+62} Code: 83 3b 00 7e f9 e9 91 fd ff ff f3 90 83 3b 00 7e f9 e9 cf fd Kernel panic -

firefox 1.5.0.5 packages
by Barry Brimer 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

I installed the new firefox 1.5.0.5 packages and had a few issues. I had read a similar post on the nahant list. I would doubt that this is a centos-induced problem. The browser crashed when opening the extensions manager and also with a very simple webmail page. I have reverted to the firefox 1.0.8 packages and these problems have disappeared.

01 Aug '06

Hello, I have a Dual boot laptop that is running XP and Centos,i would like to remove the Centos from the laptop. How would i go about doing this since Centos loaded the grub loader onto the MBR i can not just go and delete the Centos part since grub will still be in the MBR thanks Steven "On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows or better'. So I installed Linux."
