Correct way to provide kernel patch
by Chris Miller 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I work with a USB device that is intercepted by the USB HID driver. In order to stop this behavior, the device needs to be added to the HID blacklist (hid-core.c) and a custom kernel needs to be compiled. If I create a CentOS specific patch, it appears I need to create the patch against an already patched source tree (i.e. after running rpmbuild -bp) because other patches exist that add items to the blacklist that would break my diff patch. Seems like this would be a never ending battle as new patches get added to new kernels. What's the correct way to get this device added to the kernel? Do I submit my patch to the CentOS dev team, to the kernel.org folks, or both? What's the timeline (if accepted) to actually seeing this in a production kernel? On the CentOS kernel build how-to, the kABI fixes won't make it into CentOS until 5.4, and 5.3 hasn't been released yet. Thanks in advance... Regards, Chris

Streaming video with Centos 5.2...how to?
by Gilbert Sebenste 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hello all, I am a noob to streaming video, and I have a file I'd like to stream (a .wmv file...sorry. ;-) ). In any case, how can I do this on my website using Centos 5.2 and Apache 2.2.8, rather than making people download a 20 MB video? Can someone point me to some URL's and some software? Thanks for any help, I greatly appreciate it!

Centos 5.2 live cd won't boot
by tblader 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hello All Anyone have a workaround for booting the 5.2 LiveCD? I'm getting this error: no root yet, udev rule will write symlink Then I drop to a shell, with a message to create a symlink to /dev/root and then exit the shell. There is also a message that it cannot find the root filesystem. Is there a way to disable udev with grub? Thanks

Cheers. It is this time of year again: CentOS is going to Linuxtag 2009 (well, at least we will try to get a booth there). If you want to be part of the team there, stay tuned for news here in centos-promo(a)centos.org. Deadline for the projects is 24th of march (short call!), I will try to apply sooner than that >:) Cheers and thanks, Ralph

The grub.conf file provided has root set to drive hd2 and partition 0.

That RTL8169 thing...
by Drew Weaver 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Motherboard - Intel DG41TY Device: RealTek: 8111D Driver: RTL8169 Causes Kernel panic during install and boot. -- It seems that the newer the card that uses this driver, the worse the problems are. Is there any plan to roll a newer version into the installer or the actual distribution itself? Thanks, -Drew
