4.92 and new HP dv9000 laptop
by Jerry Geis 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

The new 4.92 installed nicely on this laptop... I am trying to get wireless networking going. I installed XEN. my kernel is 2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen I downloaded ipw3945-linux-1.2.0 This told me do download ieee80211-1.2.16 So when I try to compile ieee80211 it tells me find: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build/: No such file or directory egrep: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build//.config: No such file or directory egrep: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build//include/linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory find: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build/: No such file or directory make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [modules] Error 2 the build directory is a symbolic link to /usr/src/kernels.... This directory is missing. What yum command do I execute to get it? THanks, Jerry

However, my computer is linked up to a DSL modem and has no subnet, per se, and the DSL host assigns my IP address. So: 1) Is tehre a way I can get around this and give my Windows VM its own IP address (and how)? 2) If not, how would I set up one of the other ethernet types to make this work? NAT doesn't look right for this, and I don't know enough to do a custom network, so that hints to me that host-only might work, but that calls for a vmnet1 device on the host, and I know nothing about this (but I will look - just hoped for a quickie answer here...).

Strange output of netstat -a or is it??
by Edward Milstein 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

Hello, When I do a netstat -ap as root, I get the following line in the output: udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:36489 0.0.0.0:* 31345/named This means that named is listening on port 36489 udp and for the life of me, I can not figure out (including googling for it), what it is... On another host of the exact same versions but different setup, I have something similar.. udp 0 0 *:32768 *:* 2072/named Anyone got a guess?? -ed-

4.92 beta and xen
by Jerry Geis 26 Mar '07

26 Mar '07

I have 4.92 installed. I installed xen at installation time. When I reboot it gets hung at xend for some time. Not sure why? It does eventually move on, I'd say for a good minute it stays there. Just an observation? Not sure what can be done.... Jerry

exports options
by Akemi Yagi 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

I have been running a local repository on a CentOS4 server. It serves CentOS4 clients (and FC5, FC6, and SuSE10.x if I bother to mention). My current options for exports is (ro,wdelay,insecure,root_squash). The ro and insecure options were added manually and others are default. I understand 'sync' is the default although it is not shown by exportfs -v. I also found this description in the NFS FAQ: "For the Linux implementation of NFS Version 3, using the "async" export option to allow faster writes is no longer necessary. NFS Version 3 explicitly allows a server to reply before writing data to disk, under controlled circumstances. It allows clients and servers to communicate about the disposition of written data so that in the event of a server reboot, a Version 3 client can detect the reboot and resend the data. In summary, be sure all exports on your Linux NFS servers use the "sync" option by setting it explicitly or by upgrading your nfs-utils package to version 1.0.1 or later. If you need fast writes, be sure your clients mount using NFS Version 3. You may also improve write performance by adding the "wdelay" option to your exports." In other words, the default settings (sync and wdelay) seem to be the best choice. Is this generally true? Are there any cases in which use of, for example, async is more desirable? Akemi

how can one get a remote acess command prompt on install cd via drac to eject ?
by R Lists06 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

Is there a way to get to get past the cga type centos 4 install screen where it says To begin testing the cd media etc etc...... and shows the OK or SKIP selections... ...and get to a "text shell command prompt" and *eject* the cd so I can reboot the machine from remote??? I have a remote console drac connection, yet for once we sent the hired guns home for the weekend and I am a just a tad bit too far away at the moment to travel to it. Would someone please share if they know? Regards, and thanks in advance. :-) - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net/

Centos 4.4 Problems not i586 compatible
by junk＠realtechtalk.com 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

I have Centos 4.4 i386 installed an on i686. I tried making a mini-test live cd based on this install that just starts bash but it only works on i686 machines and not i586. I only have i386 glibc and all other packages are i386. I copied all of the necessary .so files. I even manually compiled bash using -march=i386 & -mtune=i386 but it will only run on i686. Can anyone explain why? Thanks!
