Can't Compile Driver due to Missing version.h
by Mufit Eribol 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Dear All, I use a raid card on my Centos 5.4 server. Whenever I updated the kernel, I used to compile drivers of the card for the new kernel. I have done this many times in the past without any problem. But this time after installing the new kernel files given below, I can not compile the new driver anymore. kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 kernel-PAE-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 The make command can not find /include/linux/version.h file with the following error. But the file is already there. make KERNELDIR= /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.9.1.el5PAE/build grep: /include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory expr: syntax error ../../../inc/linux/Makefile.def:85: *** Only kernel 2.4/2.6 is supported but you use 2.. Stop. [root@server linux]#locate include\/linux\/version.h command gives the following result. /usr/include/linux/version.h /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5-PAE-i686/include/linux/version.h /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-164.9.1.el5-PAE-i686/include/linux/version.h /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-92.1.18.el5-PAE-i686/include/linux/version.h I would appreciate any help. Thank you. Mufit Eribol

why no centos 5.3 or 5.4 online manuals?
by Robert P. J. Day 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

i zipped over to centos.org to check out the 5.4 manuals, and what i found was: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ which stops at 5.2. now, i don't really see this as a problem since i can always get what i need here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ i'm just curious as to whether centos is just not bothering to rebrand the manuals since it's just as easy to get that info from red hat. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Lilo for CentOS 5?
by Robert Heller 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Does there exist a version of Lilo built for x86_64 CentOS 5? It does not seem to be on the DVD. *I* really, really, prefer Lilo over Grub. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller(a)deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

what provices "replace" command?
by Rudi Ahlers 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

I am used to using the replace command to quickly replace strings in file, but it's not available on some of my fresh CentOS 5.4 servers. "yum info replace", "yum whatprovides replace", and "yum search replace" doesn't show me which package(s) to install to get it. So, does anyone know which package to install to get the "replace" command? Google doesn't help either since the work "replace" is too common Results 1 - 10 of about 5,440,000 for how to install "replace" command on linux -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Moving LVM from one machine to another
by Stephen Harris 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

My CentOS4 machine died (CPU cooler failure, causing CPU to die). In this machine I had 5 Tbyte disks in a RAID5, and LVM structures on that. Now I've moved those 5 disks onto a CentOS5 machine and the RAID array is being rebuilt. However the LVM structures weren't detected at boot time. I was able to "vgscan" and 'vgchange -a y' to bring the volume online and then fsck the logical volumes. But I was concerned this didn't happen at boot time. Do I need to do anything else, or have the commands I've run done sufficient? FWIW, this machine has no other LVM (nor RAID) disks on it. (only 5 more hours for the rebuild to complete!) -- rgds Stephen

Is it safe to run only the XEN kernel on dom0 host?
by Rudi Ahlers 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hi, I have an issue with my XEN servers, in that when I do a yum upgrade, it upgrades the kernels, and then updates the grub.conf file to boot with the normal Linux kernel, and not the XEN kernel - and I tend to forget to update the grub.conf, until I reboot and see XEN isn't running. So, is it safe to remove the normal kernel & kernel-development, and only run the XEN kernel? This is what I have currently: root@usaxen03:[~]$ rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 When I want to remove kernel-headers, it wants to remove gcc as well: root@usaxen03:[~]$ rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 Do I really need gcc on the XEN dom0 host? The servers are all running CentOS 5.4 x64

chroot a few apps
by Vadkan Jozsef 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hi. What kind of chroot should I use, if I want to make a more secured desktop, running e.g.: pdf reader webbrowser audio player video player openoffice picture viewer mua ooo virtualbox e.g.: if theres a javascript vulnerability in google chrome [I haven't heard a NoScript extension for it :( ] a chroot would be good for stopping it from doing something bad with the whole system. or e.g.: I have to open a .doc file, that I don't trust, or a PDF can contain malicious code :( Any tips/docs/howtos? Thank you!
