How to find available groups for installation via yum ?
by Primorec 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi All, Short description of the problem: - I would like to install the complete 'xfce' desktop on CentOS5.x I've tried: yum groupinstall xfce yum groupinstall xfce4 yum groupinstall xfce* yum groupinstall xfce4* yum groupinstall xfce4.2 yum groupinstall xfce4.1 yum groupinstall xfce4.3 yum groupinstall xfce4.4 yum groupinstall xfce4.4.2 .... etc etc ... nothing worked then I've started googling the net and .... ____finally____ I found the magic combination. One very merciful soul posted the golden combination. yum groupinstall "XFCE-4.4" This did the trick. God bless him/her and all his relatives. He/She deserved it. question: Is there a way to check which packages are available for the installation as a 'group' using yum ? TIA Igor -- Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. Randy Pausch

5.1 did not detect marvell e-net controller
by Clyde E. Kunkel 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

on an ASUS P5K-E wifi (wifi disabled in bios) board with: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12) centos 5.1 did not configure the device. Anyone else see this or have a solution? Tried forcing sky2 module, but init just says device does not seem to be present even tho lspci shows it on the bus. Is there another kernel module that also needs to be loaded besides sky2.ko? (got sky2 information from a fedora 8 install on same machine).

RAID1 migration - /dev/md1 is not there
by Sam Beam 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

I am trying to convert an existing IDE one-disk system to RAID1 using the general strategy found here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-March/003813.html But I am stuck on one thing - when I went to create the second md device with mdadm, # mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hdb2 missing mdadm: error opening /dev/md1: No such file or directory And indeed, ls /dev/md* shows only md0, which worked fine. I do have the 'raid1' kernel module loaded. What am I missing? Do I need to create the nodes manually now? thanks -S
