Please pardon the cross-posting to centos-users - in case others may be interested. Did a fresh install of CentOS-5 x86_64 on my server with Areca RAID (2 5TB RAID-5 arrays) with the OS on mirrored SCSI disks set up as software RAID-1 using Karanbir's dd ISO image. Used custom install and mounted the existing Areca RAID arrays as /data1 and /data2 (as they were for CentOS-4 - originally set up by the vendor with RHEL-4). Install and reboot went flawlessly, but after update to the latest kernel a reboot did not find the driver for kernel-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 and left me in single-user mode. Copied /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/arcmsr.ko created by the original installation to /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko did "depmod -a" and "modprobe arcmsr" and the Areca devices then mounted. I'm a newbie to weak-updates so would appreciate it if anyone could point out the "right way" [TM] to do this automagically when a new kernel is installed. Perhaps my google-foo is off today, or I have not exercised sufficient diligence to RTFM, but can't seem to find the recipe. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Wanted to try the dkms approach and the spec file below (based on RPMforge dkms-r1000.spec) worked for me. Installing the resulting RPM created /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/extra/arcmsr.ko, made a soft link to it as /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko, and removed /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5/weak-updates/arcmsr.ko Should probably have figured out how to use the original ZIP archive from the vendor ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/DRIVER/CentOS/CentOS-5.0/1.20.0X.13/arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.zip in the spec, but instead cheated and created a .tgz archive from it to stay closer to the r1000 spec file's approach: $ tar ztvf arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13.tgz drwxrwxr-x prs/prs 0 2006-12-22 17:52:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/ drwxrwxr-x prs/prs 0 2006-12-22 17:52:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/ -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 96956 2006-11-08 16:59:50 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/arcmsr.c -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 377113 2006-11-08 16:59:00 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/arcmsr.h -rw-rw-r-- prs/prs 149 2005-07-21 19:10:00 arcmsr.redhat.1.20.0x.13/arcmsr/Makefile Have yet to have a go at packaging the vendor's binary (CLI and HTTP) files in an RPM (reference earlier nosrc.rpm discussions in this thread), but did create a chkconfig-compatible script to set up the httpd service after a manual install. See below. I would hope Areca drivers might appear on RPMforge or CentOS Extras some day soon. Comments appreciated.

I found this forum posting but no responses http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8714&forum=45 I am looking to perform a large migration of about 500 workstations from various Suse and Red Hat versions to CentOS to standardize some what.

Mcrypt is not in the centos mirrors either. I did manage to get this beta ecommerce store installed on php 5.1.6-12 by removing the mycript line in the install xml file and also changing the initial install page code to not be less than 5.1 I wouldn't think this would be good to do for a production program. I would prefer to stay with the centos mirror as this is what I have setup. Hopefully centos will have php 5.2 in the future. Thanks!

This repository works fine. But, be aware that it replaces large portions of your system, including system libraries. It doesn't touch the kernel, which is one reason I use it on several desktops. It gives you a much updated userland with the stable kernel base.
