I am planning to update KVM packages kvm and kvm-qemu-img on a system. Do I
need to shutdown running VMs before updating these packages? Does it require
any services restart after the update? Any idea?
thanks

Hello,
I seem to recall from my redhat5/6/7 days that certain installation methods used for kickstarting only invoked text mode install. Now I read that graphical install is default in kickstart on el5/6. However, in my test environment (with older HP DL140G3) I only get text mode install up, even if I specify graphical in kickstart file, with both nfs and http install methods. There's no clues on third console, only an info message about display mode being set to 't'.
Any clues what am I missing?

Hi All,
I setup Fetchmail and wanted to use Mutt to read e-mail. I used to use
Pine and I just am sick of GUI e-mail clients these days. Bloat,
complication and unreliable. Pine was my first ever e-mail client. I
prefer to use POP still as I want may mail on my machine at all times.
I can go into mutt and execute: 'fetchmail -v' and watch it bring down
my e-mail.
But in mutt i dont see anything. I dont see an inbox. no messages. nada.
I set my mail to /Users/jtsm/.mail and if I go to that location I dont
see anything there.
Can anyone help me get setup? Also, can anyone point me how to make
mutt look like this: http://linsec.ca/File:Muttscreen.jpg interms of
the columns? IIRC there use to be a patch but that was so long ago I
dont know if it even applies anymore.
I am reading the Wiki, but who knew Mutt was so extensive...

Has anyone succeeded in installing CentOS-6.0 by PXEboot.
If so, would you say how you did it, please.
I tried (on an HP MicroServer),
but gave up in the end and used a USB stick installation instead.
But I'd be very interested to know how to do it, for the future.
Unfortunately I didn't keep a proper note of my PXEboot attempt,
but IIRC the problem was that install.img was not found,
although I had links to it in several places.

I ran yum update on a CentOS 6.0 machine against the CR repository
and noticed that the nfs-utils-lib update broke my rcp.idmap settings:
rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: processing 'Method' list
rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: Unable to get init function: /usr/lib64/libnfsidmap/umich_ldap.so: undefined symbol: libnfsidmap_plugin_init
rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: requested translation method, 'umich_ldap', is not available
rpc.idmapd: Unable to create name to user id mappings.
The /usr/lib64/libnfsidmap/umich_ldap.so library included with the
1.1.5-3.el6 update is noticably smaller than the one included in the
standard 6.0 package, v. 1.1.5-1.el6.
The rpm checks out correctly via gpg and an rpm2cpio->cpio pipe.
Running ldd against the updated library shows the expected links.
But the library appears to not work. Anyone else seen this?

The CentOS-6.0 Continuous Release ( CR ) repository is now available on
mirror.centos.org. This repository contains rpms to be included in the
next CentOS-6.x release ( 6.1 ). Because these include security and bugfix
updates, we strongly recommend everyone using CentOS-6 install and
update their system using this repository.
---------------------
Download and Install:
The centos-release-cr-6.x rpms are available in the Extras repository. You
can either run: 'yum install centos-release-cr', and follow yum's prompt or
download the rpms directly, install them using rpm and then use yum to run
the system updates.
i386:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/extras/i386/RPMS/centos-release-cr-6-0.el…
( sha256: 9fc78d2d79abeb1513f0851d075a2860f5039fc8db3fb0db4c660252fffda894 )
x86_64:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/extras/x86_64/RPMS/centos-release-cr-6-0.…
( sha256: bd55e1505caae2f78c306290d235b7f54833fcad5a9f1942b3cb54e28f7bfe73 )
Notes:
- All rpms in the CR repo are signed with the main distro key.
- While the existing CR repo has most of the updates, we aim to have
completed all updates in the next 2 to 3 days time.
- All updates released since 6.0, will be added to the 6.0/cr/ repository.
This includes bugfix and enhancement updates released as a part of 6.1
- Once 6.1 is released, the 6.0/cr/ repositories will be removed ( they
will not be available on vault.centos.org )
- Once 6.1 is released, the migration from 6.0 to 6.1 will remain seemless
for people running with the CR repository. There will be no manual
work needed on the machine.
- Baseurl for the CR repo is set to only use centos.org internal
machines, this is to reduce the amount of time we need to spend in
seeding and then managing external mirrors.
- All contents in the CR repo will be announced into a separate
announcement list; once 6.1 is released the announcements will be
re-sent to the centos-announce list.
- Additional notes are available at : http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR
Comments and feedback are always welcome.
Enjoy!

**********************************************
Dear All,
I have an onboard Realtek RTL8111/8168B NIC. from lspci -vv :
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
It is detected, but why the speed is always 100Mbps, already change
cable but still no luck. I use ethtool and from the output it seems
that system know that this NIC support gigabit speed :
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
have change the driver r8169 with r8168 and follow the guide on CentOS
wiki http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b
but still it only get 100Mbps speed.
I user kernel 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5 and 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5-PAE. on
another machine with the same specs I use kernel 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5
and the gigabit speed works.
Any idea why this happened and how to solve it? Thank you.
Regards,

Is it possible to synchronize locally the CR repo?
We usually synchronize all repositories in our internal network via
the third-party mirrors, but since the CR repo won't be available
there, it would be nice to be able to rsync directly from centos.org
(and it would remove some load on it)
