Installing CentOS 2.1 on ICH7R controller
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I'm trying to install CentOS 2.1 on SATA drive that lives on ICH7R controller. I have the controller setup in BIOS to "compatibility" mode, which means it should look just like regular IDE controller to the OS. In this mode, ide0 and ide1 are PATA controllers, and 4 SATA ports are mapped to ide2 and ide3. If I boot from the 2.1 installation CD, all the drives are detected (CD-ROM as hda, and four SATA drives as hde, hdf, hdg, and hdh, just as expecte per above mappings). It detect IRQ for ide2/3 right away, and says it will probe for IRQ for ide0 later. Well, it hangs just after it probes and detects IRQ for ide0. I've tried all bunch of "standard" kernel options (turnning off DMA, disabling ACPI, and so forth), none of which helped. If I install the OS on some other box (with older SATA controller), update the kernel to 2.4.9-e.70, move the disk to the new box, the kernel boots just fine (however, the initrd image points to the wrong root device -- and I can't really boot into rescue to fix it, since kernel on install CD will hang). Hence I attempted to rebuild 2.1 install CD with 2.4.9-e.70 kernel (which I haven't managed to do yet). I also attempted to use CentOS 3.8 CD in rescue mode. However, regardless of my BIOS settings, it loads ata_piix drivers, and uses the controller in SATA mode, which isn't really what I want (mkinitrd trying to be too smart, but I have couple of tricks to try yet). I'm currently attempting to force it into PATA emulation mode by supplying "ide2=io1,io2,irq and ide3=io1,io2,irq" parameters, and it is going *very* slow and constantly complaining about lost interrupts. Anyhow, if anybody has some advice with getting this 2.1 install going, it would be very appreciated. -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

Re-doing the MBR
by Al Sparks 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I tried to install CentOS 4.4. This was on a machine where I've got Windows XP on the first partition (hda1). CentOS, like most of the distros will automatically install Grub in the MBR unless you tell it not to. In fact it will wipe the MBR first pretty early in the install. Here was my problem. During the install, the second CD had some sort of read issue. So I had to abort the install by intervening with the power switch. So when I rebooted, I couldn't boot into my XP because the MBR had been wiped. I pulled out an Insert distribution and did a RAM only boot up. I could still see my NTFS partition where XP was located, and I could also see where the CentOS installed the /boot partition in /dev/hda2. Now I finally solved this problem by going back and doing a minimal install of CentOS which doesn't require the second CD. I've now got something in the MBR, and I'm up an running. But does anyone have suggestions on how to semi-manually install grub so that it sees what it calls the "other" partition to boot into? Is there a tool out there that will do that? I mean, what if the install had hung up on the first disk instead? === Al

rebuilding centos 2.1 isos
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi, I'm attempting to rebuild CentOS 2.1 ISOs with the latest kernel (to attempt installation on some newer hardware with SATA drives). It seems that the original build environment used different version of anaconda than shipped with CentOS 2.1 (7.2-77_ELAS vs 7.2.32AS). I found SRPM of 7.2.32AS, however I'm wondering if there is binary package also? BTW, any hints on the things that might be problematic with rebuilding the ISOs with newer kernel are more than welcome ;-) Thanks -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

interactive bash v3 sessions and yank-last-arg
by Wojtek.Pilorz 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

The readline function yank-last-arg (normally called through M-. or M-_) in bash3 work somewhat differently than in older bash versions for commented lines: For example, if I run in bash echo 1 2 3 #echo a b c then Esc-2 Esc-. produces alarm on first try and '2' on second try; So I can recall commented history lines using Esc-p, but not the arguments using Esc-. In older versions yank-last-arg worked on commented lines as well, which was very handy. Does anyone know, how to enable that 'old' behaviour in bash?

Trouble with X and vnc-4.0-8.1.i386 on Centos 4.4
by Wojtek.Pilorz 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I have recently migrated from an old, RedHat Linux 9 - based system (Aurox 9.2) to Centos 4.4. I am having trouble with vnc causing X unusable until reboot. By unusable I mean that X screen is either blank or blinking and moving, which is not cured by X restart until reboot. My system is: Compaq EVO D510 SFF CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz RAM: 256 MB Video: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) X: X Window System Version 6.8.2, using KDE in runlevel 3 kernel: Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL (buildsvn@build-i386) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)) Monitor: Dell E176FP (LCD, resolution 1280x1024) Mouse: Compaq/Logitech PS/2 mouse with wheel The X driver used is i810 How I get into trouble: I connect to an NT 4.0 Workstation box running 800x600 resolution with vnc; my resolution is 1280x1024 so the letters are too small for me and I switch resolution to 1024x768 or 800x600 using Ctrl-Alt-+; When I move mouse pointer so it leaves vnc window (sometimes through bottom vnc window border, sometimes through right border) then screen starts blinking with the image displayed multiple times and moving. Whether the image is moving and how fast depends on mouse position (X coordinate) on the screen (the mouse cursor is not visible, btw). If I move mouse vertically, lower part of the screen is is black. If I turn on screen saver (which is analog clock) it is displayed perfectly well on both resolution I tried ( 1280x1024 and 1024x768). but when I go back to KDE the screen is again unusable. If I switch to a text console, text mode is perfectly well, too. OSD display from the monitor is OK and stable all the time. If I exit X and then start it again, the screen is either blank while in X, or blinking. (if I exit X through Ctrl-Alt-Backspace it was blank; if I exit X using KDE menus, and the start it again, it is sometimes blank, sometimes blinking). After CentOS is rebooted all is fine. If I do not change X resolution from the default 1280x1024, vnc work fine all the time. I do not see anything special in var/log/messages. On VT I started X from, I have a message (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz each time I switch from text console to X (or perhaps the other way), same whether X is working correctly or not. I have never had that kind of problem with old RHL9-based distribution. Has anyone seen such behaviour? I would appreciate any advice. (I will send more info is needed, perhaps /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?)

Systems hangs on boot
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi all, I've a AMD64 box with CentOS 4.4 and FreeBSD 6.1 installed. All worked fine until I installed webmin. Since webmin was installed, the system hangs during the boot process. Completely hangs: included the mouse, , no ctrl+alt+f(n) keycombo... The system hangs when try to load the webmin service, so I reboot with runlevel 1 and reconfigure the runlevel with chekconfig tool (I've deactivated the webmin service). And.. the systems works fine. Now (after 2/3 reboots) the systems shows the same problem, but in the HAL service. I've tried to work with FreeBS and everything works fine, so I rule out a hardware problem. -- Jordi Espasa Clofent PGP id 0xC5ABA76A #http://pgp.mit.edu/ FSF Associate Member id 4281 #http://www.fsf.org/

This is from a fairly minimal install, so I'm assuming this is a default process. --- [root@penguin ~]# ls -l /var/log/maill* -rw------- 1 root root 230603836 Sep 27 16:30 /var/log/maillog -rw------- 1 root root 526100566 Sep 24 04:03 /var/log/maillog.1 -rw------- 1 root root 539020377 Sep 17 04:03 /var/log/maillog.2 -rw------- 1 root root 513822843 Sep 10 04:03 /var/log/maillog.3 -rw------- 1 root root 746455304 Sep 3 04:03 /var/log/maillog.4 [root@penguin ~]# crontab -l no crontab for root [root@penguin ~]# ls -l /var/spool/cron/ total 0 [root@penguin ~]# --- Thanks, Michael

I was involved with this tool in a former job: http://www.opensta.org/ It is extremely good at doing what you are asking, but has a fairly high learning curve and may be overkill. alex

Bug in find command?

I'm going to bugz this if no one tells me I made another brain-damaged error here. Also, if I can get one confirmation, it'll let me breath easier. I ran a version searching for ".cmd" and ".c" just trying to convince myself I'm not *that* brain-damaged. You'd think after all these years that regex compilation would be pretty darn stable... Oh! Forgot it was GNU!

Install Problem: No CDROM Boot in BIOS
by Charles Sliger 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

I can't seem to find a way to boot the system using a boot floppy and then switch over to the installation CD's. Has anyone out there managed to load CentOS on a system that can't boot from the CDROM? Charles L.
