non PAE support
by Kevin K 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Does anyone know what I would have to modify in 6 if I wanted to run on an older Pentium M CPU without PAE? Is it just the kernel that needs to be rebuilt (maybe while installed in a system with a supported CPU)? Or are there other components that would cause problems and need to be rebuilt too? Thanks, Kevin

How to remove Microsoft soft raid?
by David McGuffey 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Have a quad core workstation that was running WinXP_64 that I want to blow away and install CentOS 6. C6 install process finds raid metadata associated with sda and sdb, and then excludes them from the rest of the installation process. There doesn't appear to be an option for disassembling the raid as part of the install process. I think there should be. Any tricks to removing/by-passing the soft raid left over from the previous OS? Dave M

Kickstart and CentOS 6...
by John Doe 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hey, I am trying to upgrade my kickstart usb key to 6.0 and I ran into a few issues. I boot with: append initrd=initrd.img ks=hd:sdb2:/ks.cfg repo=hd:sdb2:/centos and in the ks.cfg I have: harddrive --partition=sdb2 --dir=/centos and on sdb2 I have: sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso It fails from the beginning unless I add /images inside /centos, If I do: sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso sdb2:/centos/images/install.img it goes all the way until after the pre script and then complain that sdb2:/centos does not contain the installation images... I suspect it does not give a damn about the two DVD isos and expect the unpacked content... But with CentOS 5, it used to work fine with the CD isos... Is it only CD isos allowed? Or not even CDs? Thx, JD

/usr/sbin/logcheck: line 100: kill: (24333) - No such process
by Andreas Reschke 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello I've installed a new mailserver with CentOS 6.0 x86_64. For the reporting I need logcheck. I've the same problem as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678436 Description of problem: I installed logcheck and now I get mails from cron with the following error message: Subject: Cron <logcheck@genius> if [ -x /usr/sbin/logcheck ]; then nice -n10 /usr/sbin/logcheck; fi [...] /usr/sbin/logcheck: line 100: kill: (24333) - No such process [root@mail ~]# rpm -qi logcheck Name : logcheck Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.3.13 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 2.el6 Build Date: Di 14 Sep 2010 10:53:25 CEST Install Date: Mi 27 Jul 2011 10:32:12 CEST Build Host: ppc05.phx2.fedoraproject.org Group : Applications/System Source RPM: logcheck-1.3.13-2.el6.src.rpm Size : 375904 License: GPLv2 Signature : RSA/8, Di 14 Sep 2010 17:50:20 CEST, Key ID 3b49df2a0608b895 Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://logcheck.org/ Summary : Analyzes log files and sends noticeable events as email [root@mail ~]# ls -l /var/log/maillog -rw-rw-rw- 1 root adm 1040633 28.

Booting CentOS 6 in VirtualBox on Ubuntu
by Cliff Pratt 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I trying to try out CentOS 6 in an Oracle VirtualBox running on Ubuntu. Has anyone been able to get this configuration working? When I try to boot the "Live" ISO it starts to do the countdown but when it reaches zero it gets stuck - nothing else happens. No error messages and since the install never really gets going, no logs. I've checked the mailing list archive back a few months, but I've not seen anything related. Cheers, Cliff

running X as root in centos 6
by Jerry Geis 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

When I run X as root in centos 6 I get a nice little message that "your currently trying to run as root super user" and are you sure you want to with a checkbox. I do this for a reason as a post install step, then the system reboots and it never happens again... I am trying to find how to set this checkbox which says "never ask me again" and move on... I was trying to find it in gconf-editor but have not found it. Does anyone know where it is? THanks, Jerry

missing /dev/dsp
by David Bunt 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hey guys, If I needed to get /dev/dsp back on centos 6, how would I go about doing that. Note, I've already uninstalled pulseaudio. I've also edited /etc/modprobe.d/dist-oss.conf and uncommented: /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss But I'm getting: FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found. Suggestions? -- Head Grunt

Package: virt-goodies - partly solved
by Victor Zele 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

For CentOS KVM migrations use the virt-v2v package part of base. See this link, http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualiz… Am Freitag, 22. Juli 2011, 13:37:08 schrieb Timothy Kesten: > Hi Folks, > > is here someone who knows where to get the package "virt-goodies" for > CentOS6 64bit? > > I'd like to convert VMWare-images to KVM. No answers :-( I've found the sourcecode of "vmware2libvirt" (part of virt-goodies - a python-file) to convert .vmx file to .xm file for using in virt-manager. This programm works fine. Conversion of my VMWare-Image succeeded. For everything, which interests it. Bye Timothy
