CentOS 6 x86_64 DVD doesn't boot
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi Everyone, I downloaded the CentOS 6 x86_64 DVD ISOs and burned the first image to a rewritable DVD. When I tried to boot my new home server off it, it didn't, and then this was printed to the screen: ETCDisolinux: Found something at drive = EF No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot: The same disc works fine in my 4 year old HP laptop, and when installing CentOS 6 as a KVM. I've found one post from a Fedora 14 user that was having the exact same problem, but no one replied to him. Other articles, posts etc. around the net reference something different for the "EF" part. Does anyone know what's going on? I've never seen this problem before.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! after installation of Driver Diskette for enabling Onboard RAID Controller Chipset
by Kaushal Shriyan 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi, I have HP DL 180 G6 2U Rack Server with HP Smart Array Controller Card B110i Onboard SATA Controller Chipset. This server has 4 * 500 GB SATA HDD have configured RAID 1+0 and it shows Single Logical Drive of 940 GB Hard Disk in the RAID BIOS. Have created driver diskette using dd command to enable this controller card to the CentOS 5.6 x86_64 arch and it shows HP LOGICAL VOLUME of size 940 GB by the Anaconda installer to load CentOS 5.6 on these server. Below are the steps to enable driver diskette from HP (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?sw…) gunzip hpahcisr-1.2.6-7.rhel5.x86_64.dd.gz dd if=hpahcisr-1.2.6-7.rhel5.x86_64.dd of=/dev/sdb (USB Flash Drive) CentOS 5.6 Installation Procedure :- Boot up the System using DVD containing CentOS 5.6 and type linux dd blacklist=ahci and then it asks for load driver diskette and then point it to the USB Flash Drive which contains the SATA Controller driver image. The driver gets loaded during the installation and after OS Installation is complete and then reboot it fails and says "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist" and when i edit grub grub> root (hd0,0) and press b to boot it works fine and later I get the below message on the Console with Kernel Panic. Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Am i missing anything? Please suggest/guide. Regards, Kaushal

About I386 not fitting on one DVD
by david 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Just a thought If the I386 (or i686, never could figure out why the name change) disk doesn't quite fit on the DVD+, and needs a DVD-, this might put some folks at an inconvenience. I wonder if the difference between fitting and not fitting is small enough, so that some amount of pruning might make it fit on the DVD+R image. Some ways to prune could be: a) Create two versions of the DVD, one with all the non-ideographic languages included, and one with the ideographic languares and a subset of the alphabet languages (English, German, French, ...) b) Find some less used but large package which presumes internet access. It could be downloaded with YUM c) Tackle the code bloat (oh yah, sure) David

Bacula dbcheck in CentOS6
by Joseph L. Casale 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Anyone else notice that /usr/libexec/bacula/make_catalog_backup.pl runs a "dbcheck -B" which doesn't seem to exist in the version of dbcheck shipped with it? # strings /usr/sbin/dbcheck |grep -i print sprintf vfprintf snprintf -dt print timestamp in debug output -? print this message %d block read errors not printed. That makes it rather hard to do a catalogue backup with the shipped script? jlc

redhat-release file on C6
by Stephen Harris 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Curious as to why redhat-release says "CentOS Linux release" in C6, but on C5 it merely says 'CentOS release". This causes programs that try to parse the file (eg Xen Tools) to fail 'cos it can't parse properly. Yeah, it can be worked around, but it seems an unnecessary change :-( -- rgds Stephen

CentOS-6 firewall how to open a port
by Timothy Murphy 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

I'm running CentOS-6 on an HP MicroServer (since this morning) and I'd like to open an non-standard port, for use on a laptop attached to the internet through the server. Do I have to explicitly add an iptables rule? If so, and I want to open (say) udp port 500 , what command should I give? I've always used shorewall in the past, and will probably do so now if the default firewall is difficult to use. But I thought I would try it first as an experiment. My recollection is that in old versions of CentOS one could non-standard ports through system-config-firewall ; but it seems that now this can only be used for standard ports; I looked at <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables> but didn't find it very enlightening. Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

authconfig-gtk-6.1.9-1.fc14.i686.rpm missing durring URL Install ?
by Armelius Cameron 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hello, This is a rather strange problem. I am using the i386 netinstall CD to boot and do a URL (HTTP) install since my machine only has CD drive and can't boot from USB either. During the install, the installer was looking for package authconfig- gtk-6.1.9-1.fc14.i686.rpm and claims that it's missing. I checked the RPMs under packages, and for sure it wasn't there. But look at the package name. Why is the installer asking for .fc14. package ? authconfig-gtk-6.1.4-6.el6.i686.rpm exists instead, but I don't understand why the .fc14. package was requested. Anyone else sees this ? My install, of course, did not succeed. Thanks AC
