Status of sky2 NIC lockup bug
by Mailing Lists 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

Does anyone know if the "sky2 transmitter lockup" bug that was in 4.4 has been resolved in CentOS 5? This bug causes the sky2 NIC driver to lock up when transferring large amounts of data through the NIC. Here is a link to the bug at CentOS: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1540 The status still says "open". Thanks, Joe

RE: [CentOS] Centos 4 on Terminator C3
by Justin Randall 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

It may sound a bit strange but I had a similar problem with an ASUS mobo with a Via chipset a long time ago and that problem was actually related to the dynamic discovery of memory clocking speeds. For some reason it was negotiating a higher memory clocking speed then the memory supported. What ended up fixing the issue was going into the BIOS and statically assigning the memory clocking speed. Of course the downside to this is that this setting would need to be changed anytime you upgrade your memory some with a different clocking rate. It may not be what you're experiencing but maybe worth a shot. How far into the boot process does your computers reboot again?

minor error on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel?highlight=%28HowTos%29 the rpmbuild steps specifies kernel.spec, when in fact the filename is kernel-2.6.spec, at least with 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL this occurs a BUNCH of times on that wiki page... also kernel2.6.9 -> kernel-2.6.9 on the cp command after 'configuring your kernel'

Can't boot to init 3
by Mark Hull-Richter 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

In order to get more screen than 800x600, since the video card I'm using isn't on the list, and neither is my monitor, I've downloaded the NVIDIA "latest and greatest drivers" from nvidia.com, except it won't install. It refuses to run in X mode (unless I force it to, which it says is not recommended), but wants to run in init level 3. Problem is, I can't get to init level 3. If I run 'init 3' from a root command line, it starts to go down, waits until I type something (anything), then begins heading for init 3 and stops dead right after starting anacron. The only way to revive it is to reboot. If I run 'init 1' from a command line, it goes down to init level 1 just fine, so I fugred 'Great, now init 2' but it stops right after starting the HAL daemon. It echoes keyboard input but does nothing further at all. I have to reboot. It's almost as if it's going to a console that isn't my (only) terminal.... I tried to see how to tell grub to come up at init 3, but I can't find that one either. Help? Please reply both on list AND directly to me, at least if you reply today, because this subscription is currently set for digest (because I get all the inidividual emails at work) - when I get the video set up properly, I'll fix that.... Thanks. mhr

CentOS 5 Beta on a MacBook Pro
by Mailing Lists 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

FYI, I just installed CentOS 5 beta with the SMP kernel in a VMWare fusion virtual machine on my 2.33 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. The installation was flawless. I installed from an NFS share on my network with the ISO images. The vm booted disc one and recognized my 802.11n wireless connection as eth0. The install took about 30 minutes. Everything worked fine... -Joe

prefdm still unfinished?
by Rody 18 Mar '07

18 Mar '07

After testing the beta of CentOS 5, i was a little surprised to notice that the display manager part of the prefdm file in /etc/X11 was exactly like in CentOS 4 / RHEL4 and previous versions including RH9. it reads like this (added line numbers for reference): 14 # Run preferred X display manager 15 preferred= 16 if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then 17 . /etc/sysconfig/desktop 18 if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then 19 preferred=gdm 20 elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then 21 preferred=kdm 22 elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then 23 preferred=xdm 24 fi 25 fi Line 17 is no functional command i know of, therefor the choice of which displaymanager (login-screen) to use is decided by the fallback lines later in the script (that starts with gdm). If you're ok with gdm, than there's no need for this to change. Still, it would seem that something is missing there. My best guess for what was supposed to be there: # Run preferred X display manager preferred= if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then DISPLAYMANAGER=$(cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop | grep DESKTOP | cut -d '"' -f2) if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then preferred=gdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then preferred=kdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then preferred=xdm fi fi This would make kdm your display manager when using kde as default desktop and gdm when using gnome. Although the grep part is not necessary, i added it in case someone decides to add lines to the desktop file someday... I've come across one forum post in which someone suggested to add the line DISPLAYMANAGER="KDM" to the desktop file in order to achieve the same result. For this to work the prefdm file should be altered like this: # Run preferred X display manager preferred= if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then if [ -n "$(cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop | grep DISPLAYMANAGER | cut -d '"' -f2)" ];then DISPLAYMANAGER=$(cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop | grep DISPLAYMANAGER | cut -d '"' -f2) if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GDM ]; then preferred=gdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDM ]; then preferred=kdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then preferred=xdm fi else DISPLAYMANAGER=$(cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop | grep DESKTOP | cut -d '"' -f2) if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then preferred=gdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then preferred=kdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then preferred=xdm fi fi fi It all seems basic scripting to me so i wonder if no-one simply never noticed or never cared to finish this one.
