Motherboard + 3ware 9650SE suggestions
by Andrew Cotter 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hello everyone! Working on putting a storage server together and wanted to get some input as to what motherboards have been working for people with the 3ware 9650SE-12ML raid board. This is large, bulk storage, 2-tier stuff. This will not be used for realtime editing of video or something, but a gig nic is almost a given I hope. I have an AMD chip available (AM2 slot) but I can get a new chip if needed. Side note on the 3Ware, has anyone gotten it to work on openfiler? Can't figure out how to compile the driver since the kernel is a rev or two behind including the driver. Will use Centos but wonld love to try and get openfiler working on this box. Thanks! Andrew

New mailing lists: CentOS is going international!
by Ralph Angenendt 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Guten Tag, bonjour, saudações, hola, ahoj, welkom and of course hello. Ladies and gentlemen, the CentOS mailing lists are going international! Yes, now you can talk about your favourite linux distribution in your favourite language. If - and that is a big if - you are able to talk in - german - french - czech - dutch - the brasilian variant of portuguese - spanish Which should be about, ermm, many people - and maybe *you* are one of them. Let me introduce your hosts for the rest of your lifes: There is Rodrigo Barbosa, who is running the CentOS-pt-br mailing list, because he is one of the people who are speaking this language. If that doesn't make him a good moderator, what else will? Then there is Tru Huynh of CentOS fame who still has time on his hands to run CentOS-fr. Daniel DeKok, resident spell checker (I haven't found an error on the wiki he didn't spot first) is running CentOS-nl. David Hrbáč has offered to run CentOS-cz, hoping that he'll still have some free time after you storm the list. Roger Peña Escobio and Ernesto Pérez Estévez wanted to do us a big favour with running the CentOS-es list, answering the multitude of requests for a spanish CentOS support venue. And Christoph Maser and me are going to run CentOS-de, just so there is a german mailing list also. So give them all a big hand for offering their help! You can find out about and subscribe to the lists at: <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-pt-br/>. <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-de/>. <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-fr/>. <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-nl/>. <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es/>. <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-cz/>. And now go and discuss! Ask questions if you have one! Answer questions if you know the answer! Hope to see you here and there, Ralph

RE: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot
by Mark Hull-Richter 12 Feb '07

I'm still new to CentOS/RHEL and rpm, so let me do this: > I can guarantee that they both build fine on the centos builders and on > a machine with all the x86_64 packages and the only i[3,4,5,6]86 > packages are glibc.i686 and glibc-devel.i386. How do I find this out? If I do an rpm -q -a, I get 250+ lines of output, none of which appear to be specifically identified/identifiable as x86_64.... > You should either be building with plague and a full x86_64 tree ... or > a full tree as described in my first paragraph. Not sure what that means, per se. I'm building with rpm. > Now, as to whether the keyboard works, that could be an issue.

RE: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot

I'm not sure how to answer that. I have a plain installation of CentOS 4.4 for x86_64 SMP (2.6.9-42.0.3), installed from the DVD. I am now running 2.6.9-42.0.8 built from the rpm package http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL .src.rpm using the fedora rpmdevtools, kernel-smp-devel and the "development tools" packages (from yum or the DVD).

The one question which has not been addressed yet is 'what does your build environment look like?'

RE: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot
by Mark Hull-Richter 12 Feb '07

New details: I am running an SMP machine and have been using the kernel-2.6.9-x86_64-smp.config config file, which is the one that I can't get to work. So, I figured, what the heck, I'll just use the kernel-2.6.9-x86_64.config config file instead and just turn on SMP in make menuconfig. Voila! It works. There are huge differences between these two config files, and I'm wondering what the heck is messed up in the former such that it doesn't work but the latter does, even on SMP?

Um, the whole point of rpm based distributions is that you don't have to build them. That part is done for you. That said, it all rebuilds cleanly if you have a proper build environment. That's one of the things which the centos developers are very picky about. It's also pretty fundamental to the distribution, as it's all rebuilt from the sources of the upstream vendor. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

RE: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot
by Mark Hull-Richter 12 Feb '07

I have now built about six kernels for this and none of them come up right - they all refuse to acknowledge the keyboard, and the mouse is jerky and erratic. I have checked the config to make sure that USB HID devices are recognized, and that the keyboard is the right one (AT). I have tried unplugging and re-plugging the keyboard, switching their positions on the LCD hub, even plugging directly into the motherboard - nothing works. Is there a bug or other problem in the standard USB driver for 42.0.8? This is frustrating, and it has halted my development. I should be able to build and run the straight distro rpm without this kind of grief, shouldn't I? Suggestions, comments, etc. welcome. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Mark Hull-Richter Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 10:33 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot I did this twice now, although the first couple of builds seemed to work ok, they just weren't configured quite right. On my third and fourth builds of the 42.0.8 kernel rpm, when booting, kudzu came up and ran, but the keyboard was somehow not recognized and I had to reboot using the mouse on the login screen (no text appears no matter what I type). I'm using the rpm build strategy from Jim's wiki, which works nicely, but my fallback is a 42.0.3 non-smp kernel. My main question, though, is how did this happen? Is there a config switch or something else I missed? I'm using the base kernel-2.6.9-x86_64-smp.config, and tweaking it to include ext3 and xfs in the kernel (instead of loadable ext3 and no xfs). Why? Well, we need xfs to load so we can find out why it's so damned slow on cached vs. direct i/o. We have some tweaks we put into xfs (current version, using SuSE Linux 9.something) in order to be able to control the way the extents are allocated. We need to be able to do large i/os in large chunks quickly, and that kind of allocation works better than little pieces all over the place. (We're looking at 8Mb chunks and larger.) With direct i/o, we can get around 30-40Mb/s transfer rates, but with cached (i.e., kernel) i/o, we are stuck at 8, which is too slow. It turns out we get better performance from jfs, but we want to use xfs because it is faster with our changes. The main issue here, though, is the failure of CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 to recognize the keyboard - why would that happen? Thanks. mhr _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
