CentOS 6.3 usb key...
by John Doe 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I upgraded my USB install keys (as per wiki) to 6.3 and now it freezes during the boot... It displays the boot.msg content, plus "boot:" (from ldlinux.sys); but it freezes after that, before displaying the syslinux.cfg menu... Anyone else having such problem, or an idea of what is going on...? For information, I make my keys using syslinux 3.82 on a CentOS 5.8. Thx, JD

Good point again Reindl. I've not broken the system, it's just I want to decide when the new kernel should be booted. My reason is I've had the kernel version change and that has been buggy and broke my system. So I'd rather take control myself over when my box moves to a newer kernel version. It's no problem for me to mount the GrubBoot partition and edit grub.conf manually, after making a backup of that file first, and then reboot the system.

launch a iptables + tc at power on
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi all I have a QoS script involving "iptables" and "tc" that I would like to run after "eth0" and "eth1" come up. I thought about some "POST_UP_SCRIPT=" or similar in /etc/sysconfig/network (or ifcfg-ethX) As I document, I found that http://goo.gl/jWoPn According to these, I have to create (if they does not exist): - /sbin/ifup-pre-local - /sbin/ifup-local It sounds a bit wild to me to have to tweak in /sbin for that, I really expected something in /etc/sysconfig/** Would you know if there is a way configure what I want? -- RMA.

Some good points there Reindl. I update my box once a week now. Usually if there are any kernel issues they are made know in a reasonable time. If I don't hear of any then I know it's safe for me to move to the latest kernel release. So basically I'm playing safe by letting others find any issues, and waiting until that's been addressed with another kernel release before I move onto the latest kernel.

Trying to find all the kernel modules needed for my machine using shell script
by Aft nix 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi, I'm developing kernel modules right now, and the build times are starting to get under my skin. As a side effect i'm taking way too many "coffee" breaks during builds. So i was looking for a way to build only the stuffs i need for my platform. Chapter 7 and 8 of "linux kernel in a nutshell" gave a good detail of how to do that by hand. Its a good read : http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ But Although i understand the stuffs, this is still a lot of tweaks to make that work. 2.6.32 and later kernels added a new target "make localmodconfig". which scans through "lsmod" and change the .config appropriately. So i thought i found my "automation". But this perl script has some problem too. This thread describes the problems : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=845113 There was also a proposed solution which apparently worked for others , is to run the script directly instead of using make's target. Although for me, make localmodconfig does not work at all. its because of the following : $make clean $make mrproper $cp /boo/config-'uname -r' .config $make localmodconfig and it haults with vboxguest config not found!! nf_defrag_ipv6 config not found!! vboxsf config not found!! vboxvideo config not found!! The thing is my kernel development environment is inside virtualbox. These vbox modules were installed when i chose to install "virtualbox guest addtion". And the netfilter module might be a Distribution specific module(Lot of netfilter modules are not part of the mainline kernel, so its not a shock to me), which is not included in mainline kernel. Now the workaround this obviously unloading these module and trying again. But I'm thinking if there is patch for the "streamline_config.pl" which will enable the user to exclude certain modules if s/he wants. Problem is i have "zero" knowledge about perl and i like it that way. So my problems in "nutshell" 1) Patching streamline_config.pl so i can give a list of module name as argument which it will exclude from processing the config file. 2) I've tried to run the script by myself. But running it directly fails with a error. [root@kernel-host-rh6 linux-2.6]# sh scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 45: my: command not found scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 47: my: command not found scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 48: chomp: command not found scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 50: syntax error near unexpected token `(' scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl: line 50: `my @searchconfigs = (' Again my "zero" knowledge about perl does not helping my case. Additional info: I have faced the same thing in 2.6.32, 2.6.33, 2.6.35, 3.4, 3.4.rc1 .....(I constantly switch version for various reasons, everywhere the problem is same) You can access the script from kernel.org gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=blob;f=… Its from 3.4.0. `git log --stat scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl` shows some activity recently on this file. But my problem persists. 3) Is there any way i can get the "Centos specific" patches in "plain patch" format? That means i dont wanna do things in src-rpm way. If the patches are available in normal patch format i can keep everything tidy in my kernel git tree. -- -aft

BCM4313 on CentOS 6.3
by ottop＠lavabit.com 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi all, I'm a complete newbie in Linux and am trying to get my Broadcom BCM4313 working in my Lenovo S10-3t netbook (CentOS 6.3 installed from LiveCD). I followed the steps in the wiki, which lead me to ELRepo: wl-kmod. I followed the instructions there until Step 2: $ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SPECS,SOURCES,SRPMS} $ echo -e "%_topdir $(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild\n%dist .el$(lsb_release -s -r|cut -d"." -f1).local" >> ~/.rpmmacros Then I got stuck with this message: bash: lsb_release: command not found Next, I tried using the driver from Broadcom site, and ended up with this message: KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C
