(off-topic)Update sii-3512A serial ata controller - which flash memory?
by Marcelo M. Garcia 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi. I had to update the BIOS of a Silicon Image 3512A Serial ATA controller. I'm not using RAID. When I run the updater program (updflash.exe), it asks me to choose flash memory from a list, something like: AMD Am29F010B (1 Megabit), AMD Am29LV01B (1 Megabit), etc. How can I find out which is flash memory of the controller? Thanks Marcelo

xen on CentOS 4.7
by Agile Aspect 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi - has anyone gotten Xen on CentOS 4.7 to run successfully using Windows XP as the guest OS? I tried VirtualBox but it doesn't appear to work (at least for Windows XP) for a CentOS 4.7 on a Dell Precision WorkStation 390 (quad.) In fact, it pretty easy to crash the machine using the command line interface. There's blurb on the wiki Move a native CentOS4 installation into a Xen DomU but that appears to be Xen running on CentOS 5 install of Xen. I've installed the package kernel-xen. I'm new to Xen and I'm not familiar with the jargon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Article. VI. Clause 3 of the constitution of the United States states: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

GNU Screen - emacs mode frustration
by Sean Carolan 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

I like Gnu screen, but the choice of CTRL-A as the command sequence is extremely unfortunate. Like many other bash users, I use CTRL-A to get back to the beginning of the line (emacs editing mode). How do you all get around this problem? Also, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to get mouse scrolling to work when reviewing terminal history in screen. It's a pain in the arse to CTRL-A then ESC to be able to scroll back.

Dare I venture another query: I need to install python - matplotlib (pylab) on CentOS 4 with Python 2.4.6 (installed). Yum (with romforge) and/or apt-get isn't able to get anything relevant.

Keepalive...

Hi, I've been trying to setup keepalive (vrrp) with LVS in direct routing on Centos 5 and I am stuck... Installed ipvsadm from the repo (had to touch /etc/sysconfig/ipvsadm because it complained it was missing) Compiled keepalived-1.1.16.tar.gz Test setup: main switch (192.168.16.0/20) | eth0: 192.168.28.[226|227] VIP=192.168.16.123 2 lvs/keepalived servers eth1: 10.0.0.[1|2] | test switch (10.0.0.0/8) | 10.0.0.[11|12] VIP=192.168.16.123 test servers (real servers) 192.168.16.[228|229] | back to main switch But let's focus on the 2 lvs servers... keepalived.conf: global_defs { notification_email { root@localhost } notification_email_from keepalived(a)lvs1.iper smtp_server 127.0.0.1 smtp_connect_timeout 30 router_id LVS_MASTER ### BACKUP on the backup ### } vrrp_instance VI_1 { state MASTER ### BACKUP on the backup ### interface eth0 lvs_sync_daemon_interface eth1 virtual_router_id 51 priority 100 ### 99 on the backup ### advert_int 1 smtp_alert virtual_ipaddress { 192.168.16.123 } } virtual_server 192.168.16.123 80 { delay_loop 6 lb_algo rr lb_kind DR persistence_timeout 50 protocol TCP real_server 10.0.0.11 80 { weight 1 } real_server 10.0.0.12 80 { weight 1 } sorry_server 127.0.0.1 80 } /var/log/messages: Feb 20 15:01:09 lvs1 Keepalived: Starting Keepalived v1.1.16 (02/19,2009) Feb 20 15:01:09 lvs1 Keepalived_vrrp: Using MII-BMSR NIC polling thread...

package manager CentOS
by Raghu Narasimhan 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi folks, I have some doubts with regards a Python module called paramiko (used to automate ssh related stuff) 1. Does Paramiko 1.7.2 and 1.6.4 work with CentOS 4 2. If yes, what is the exact 'yum' command to install paramiko on CentOS 4? I have tried all possible ones without success. yum install paramiko yum install python-paramiko(with and without version numbers) python-paramiko.noarch *[rUSER@HOST]# yum search paramiko Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Searching Packages: Setting up repositories extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository priority protections No Matches found * Installing it without yum throws dependency problems which are never ending : starting with python-crypto and python(abi) - which I am unable to find; which will no doubt lead to other dependencies. Is there any change that has to be made to the yum repository to point it to look in a different place? 3. Alternatively, I also have apt-get on the CentOS box - can you tell me some repos that I can add for apt-get as well? Thanks, -- Raghu Narasimhan raghu.united(a)gmail.com
