Major update and again no new repodata
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Yesterday I pulled down a major update to OpenOffice. But no updates to repodata. I waited a day to see if there was some reason for the lag (like more rpms needed to complete the set), but still today, no repodata to pull down (my rsync looks for more recent file dates). Help?

FW: Memory Problem
by Van Staden, Allan 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

I am sure this has been covered before, but I can find it in my archives. I loaded up a new server IBM x3650, 2x Intel dual core cpu's I installed additional RAM to take it up to 7 gigs according to http://www.centos.org/product.html#seven CentOS 5 x86 which I am using supports up to 16gigs of RAM. Once I boot up CentOS only see's about 3.2Gigs of Ram. I installed the kernel-PAE package and upgraded my kernel to 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5. Searching on the web the suggestions are that I done the above, as I have done to sort out my problem buy nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated Allan To read FirstRand Bank's Disclaimer for this email click on the following address or copy into your Internet browser: https://www.fnb.co.za/disclaimer.html If you are unable to access the Disclaimer, send a blank e-mail to firstrandbankdisclaimer(a)fnb.co.za and we will send you a copy of the Disclaimer.

C5 64-bit on Dell not seeing 1 GB link
by Scott Ehrlich 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

I've got a Dell Precision Workstation 490 with 64-bit Centos 5, fully updated, with an on-board Broadcom 57xx gigabit Ethernet controller, updated BIOS, 1 GB switch, and /var/log/messages and dmesg both claim the link is 100 Mb, not 1 GB. I tried setting eth0 to mtu 9000 but got an error in going so. What do I need to do to have the card see 1 gb? Thanks. Scott

ls : not UTF-8 compliant?
by Mufit Eribol 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Sorry bugging you for this simple command. ls command displays question marks for the local characters (ones not included in 8859-1 space) in filenames. ie. [root@server aa]# touch çarp [root@server aa]# ls ??arp [root@server aa]# ls -b #for octal escapes \303\247arp [root@server aa]# However, ls|less, ls|more or vi <directory name> all display filename correctly. Also, the <tab> completes such filenames in the correct way. Even, logsave command for the ls output prints the right characters. So, I assume the filesystem keeps the filenames in UTF-8 encoding, but somehow ls can not show them properly. Any workaround or a replacement for ls? BTW The system is Centos 5.1 and locale shows the encoding as UTF-8. Thank you.

Yum not updating kernel

I'm having the same problem as Valent Turkovic. I have the following /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo (mind the line-wraps): [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch= $basearch&repo=os #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 #released updates [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch= $basearch&repo=updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 #packages used/produced in the build but not released [addons] name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch= $basearch&repo=addons #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch= $basearch&repo=extras #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch= $basearch&repo=centosplus #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 I have missed any fixes for this since the suggestion to comment the mirrorlist line and uncomment the baseurl line (which doesn't work. Thanks in advance. -- Bob Taylor

Raid controller issue under CentOS 5.1
by Joseph L. Casale 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

I have an LSI 8888ELP with an external enclosure and two arrays in it. I needed some quick storage so I put two drives in some open slots and created a span. One drive failed, but I have seen multiple failures on this port so I suspected either a bad controller port/cable/backplane. I offlined the remaining good drive and removed them both, I reinserted them to see if the bad drive was bad and it would seem that made the system unhappy. I attempted to reboot at which point it hung partially through the reboot. I attached the messages log, can anyone shed some light on what happened? Thanks for any guidance! jlc

Re: [CentOS] Yum not updating kernel
by Bob Taylor 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hm. I just noticed http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/i386/RPMS/ kernel listings are i686.rpm. Could my problem be this is confusing yum as I use i386 and this is the i386 directory? Doesn't make sense since no one else seems to have this. Of course their are most likely few running Pentium II's. Searching for answers in the dark. Shouldn't yum update kernel work update just the kernel* rpms? -- Bob Taylor
