Re: [CentOS] Help: Marvell sk98lin driver missing from Centos 3 PXE initrd.img
by Ian Kaufman 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi Mike, It may not be what you did, but rather the sk98lin drivers being horribly broken, especially with the newer Yukon 88E805X gigabit NICs. I just struggled with a backported version of the sky2 driver in the 2.6.9-34.0.2 kernel and the 88E8055 Yukon NIC (as found on the latest Fujitsu T4210 tablet convertible). Unfortunately, the backported drivers I was sent only go back as far as 2.6.7 for compatibility. John Linville at Red Hat has some 2.4.21-44 test kernels that have slightly newer sky2 drivers: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel3/ I used his RHEL4 test kernels and it worked well, but alas other issues kept me from using it, and I had to backport the driver myself.

gnbd help on centos
by William (Bill) Triest 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I've googled for this, but everything I find tends to talk about cluster and doesn't give an example close enough that I can figure this out. I have read the Red Hat Cluster Suite Configuring and Managing a Cluster <http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en/> links from http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/. (I think these are mirred on centos.org, but I read them off of redhat's site) Basically I currently have two servers. The file server is a dell power edge 2850 with an attached power vault. The power vault's file systems are all gfs. I would like to export these to a second server via gnbd. I realize I *could* use nfs, which we do use elsewhere, but I was interested in figuring out gnbd. On the file server if I run gnbd_export -d /dev/vg_home/lv_home -e home Then on the other server modprobe gnbd and then run gnbd_import -i fileserver the devices get created can be mounted etc (well I might need to modprobe gfs before mounting) Anyways, what's the "correct" way of having this happen on boot? I've been reading the cluster docs, but I haven't found something that makes it click for me. Hooking up the poweredge to the powervault won't work, because eventually we're getting a third server, going to put the power vault into cluster mode and directly connect it to the powervault (thus the decision to use gfs initially, instead of just a "normal" file system and exporting via nfs). Any help would greatly be appreciated, especially helpful links. Thanks, Bill

proxy server - ipcop vs CentOS
by Craig White 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I have purchased a used Compaq DL360 which I was going to use as a proxy server. Presently, we are using a cheap box with ipcop which is working fine but it didn't have much RAM (64MB), etc. This new box we will want to run squid and perhaps dansguardian for filtering (this is a non-profit company) and I'm wondering if I should just put ipcop on it or would it be smarter/better to install CentOS 4, squid and I see Dag has dansguardian package which suggests that I might get more and better options from this. Anyone have opinions on ipcop vs. CentOS Craig

Re: Openswan 2.4.6rc5 under CentOS 4.3
by Bas Rijniersce 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, My problem was solved by the excellent support of the openswan people (Paul Wouters). If other people run into the same problem, this whas the solution: I wanted to keep the stock kernel but wanted KLIPS, I don't need NAT-Traversal When the current release is used (2.4.6rc5) the module caused a kernel panic when unloading (that means also rebooting) the system. A bad thing for a firewall that is probably locked somewhere in a closet. The current CVS version contains the fix for the unload bug. The CVS version can be retrieved by: cd /usr/src rm -rf openswan-2 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.openswan.org:/public/cvs login cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.openswan.org:/public/cvs co openswan-2 Then edit /usr/src/openswan-2/packaging/linus/config-all.h and change the define for NAT_TRAVERSAL for 1 to 0 Compile the programs and module with: make KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build programs module make KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build install minstall This solved the problem for me Bas

Hi, I have a IBM ThinkPat T30 a Cisco Aironet wireless internal in the laptop 802.11b only. It works great with open Acess points, but when i try to connect to encripted ones. I got the dialog box asking for the passphrase 128 bit, I enter it and after that i receive the dialog box again! Maybe my card do not support WEP or I am doing something wrong?

help with Intel GMA 950 3D graphics card
by Julio E. Gonzalez P. 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi!. I recently buy a new notebook, and install CentOS 4.3 on it. This because I'm in charge of a lot a servers with Centos installed, and want to use only one distro in all my machines. And, because of course I really like Centos for desktop too. :) The notebook comes with Intel GMA 950 video graphics. I can use it with the vesa driver of Xorg, but I also want 3D graphics, for some games, wine, etc. Is there _*a easy way*_ to use 3D in Centos 4.3 with the GMA 950 video graphics card? I believe that Xorg 7.1 have support for this card, but Centos comes with a older Xorg. Also... the same cuestion, but for configure and install the intel wireless 3945ABG card. I already tried ndiswrapper (don't work for me) and the open source drivers (compilation problem). Thanks. Julio.

XFS and CentOS 4.3
by Mark Strong 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi All, after looking around for info on XFS(the filesystem) and its use on CentOS and/or RHEL 4. There seems to be a lot of noise about 4K Stacks (especially on linux-xfs(a)oss.sgi.com). So what is the best way to get XFS working with CentOS 4.3 ? And not have something like this happening. A quote from the xfs list at sgi >On Tue, 18 Jul 2006 at 10:29am, Andrew Elwell wrote > >using the 2.6.9-34 centosplus SMP kernel (3GHz P4 with >hyperthreading enabled) > >what we normally (~once a day) is simply > >do_IRQ: stack overflow: 416 >[<c0107a27>] >You don't want to use the XFS in the centosplus kernel. It has major >known issues with 4K stacks (leading to overflows). Use the >kernel-module-xfs (or somesuch) RPM instead, and you should have better >luck. Do I need a kernel with 8K stacks? and is this http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-34… the "kernel-module-xfs" RPM he was talking about (or equivalent for `uname -r` equals 2.6.9-34.ELsmp).
