how to enable Flow Control on CentOS?
by Rudi Ahlers 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi, I have an interesting situation with one of our switches. It's a D-Link DGS-3100, 24 port 10/100/1000 Layer 2 Managed switch with some CentOS servers connected to it. On many of the servers I need to disable Flow Control on the switch's ports otherwise the CentOS server's doesn't connect to the switch. i.e. the Switch indicates that the LAN cable is unplugged and CentOS can simply not connect to any host on the LAN. As soon as I disable Flow Control, CentOS "breaks". Does anyone know why this would happen, or how / if I can enable Flow Control in CentOS as well? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

centos 6 boot and install on hp dl380 G4
by Florian 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hello List, i downloaded centos6 x86_64. With DVD-iso1 i made a booteable usb-stick (universal usb installer 1.8.5.7). When i boot my HP ProLiant DL380 G4 from the stick, the CentOS boot screen comes up and and the message "Automatic boot in xx seconds..." appears. * When i do not hit any key, the seconds are counted to zero an then it starts again at 10 seconds - again and again. * When hitting return, a boot menu appears: 1) Boot 2) Boot (text mode) 3) Network Installation 4) Memory-Test 5) Boot from local drive Only Options "Memory-Test" and "Boot from local drive" work. When choosing Option 1,2,3 i'm always pushed back to the menu. How to install CentOS vom the stick? Please help me to find my mistake. Please tell me, if i can provide any information. Bye, Florian

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-6.0 i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:51:21 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-6.0 i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4E19F4A9.1050204(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.0 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. CentOS-6.0 is based on the upstream release EL 6.0 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. There are some important changes to this release compared with the previous versions of CentOS and we highly recommend reading this announcement along with the Release Notes at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.0 There are no CD images being released with CentOS-6, however we have some CD variants in the pipeline. Details for these are mentioned below. Since upstream has a 6.1 version already released, we will be using a Continous Release repository for 6.0 to bring all 6.1 and post 6.1 security updates to all 6.0 users, till such time as CentOS-6.1 is released itself. There will be more details about this posted within the next 48 hours. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 +++++++++++++++++++++++ LiveCD and LiveDVD LiveCDs and LiveDVDs for i386 and x86_64 will be released within the next few days. These will bring in the ability to directly install from the livemedia. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Minimal Install CD We have also created a minimal install CD, that would bring up a base machine with just enough content to have a usable platform. This CD image will be released in the next few days. +++++++++++++++++++++++ The LightWeightServer (LWS) CD In order to bring back the CentOS-4 Server CD style single iso image, we are creating a LWS varient of the main distro. Details for this will be posted in the next few days with release happening after the live media and the minimal cd editions. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-6.0 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. In most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a thousand people seeding CentOS-6 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. Torrent files for the DVD's are avilable at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.0/isos/i386/CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.torre… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.t… You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. +++++++++++++++++++++++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.0 ISOS: i386: fcf49e875cd4494f2af68cf257ab9e93523c9427 CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso 862815623d2e7990207dd78a281837c7eb719e83 CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: 9de87b0c696ebd72b952edb4cc06c24cbdc37d81 CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 5e3834621f11fbcca78cf7d70625c647045f45f5 CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 23f9e606cbcbd52d2e5df3716a85cdde336f7bfe CentOS-6.0-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are still making their way to the CentOS mirrors and should be available within the next 24 to 48 hours. We are prioritising the centos modified packages. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Contributing and joining the project: We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the wiki page at http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute . If you have questions or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not covered on that page, feel free to drop in on #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list (http://lists.centos.org) +++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to everyone who contributed towards making 6.0 Enjoy! -- Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> The CentOS Project {http://www.centos.org} irc: z00dax(a)irc.freenode.net ( #centos, #centos-devel ) ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 77, Issue 4 **********************************************

This might seem obvious but have you checked to see if you have X or any GUI desktops installed? AK Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network

Congratulations to the Centos Team for the hard work on Centos 6
by Philip L Pinto 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

I just wanted to say Congratulations and thank you to the Centos Team for all of the work on Centos 6 - I know the last few months have not been easy - but the real benefit will be that Centos 6 will be as good and as stable as Centos 5 has been for me and everyone who has been using it for the past 4 years. It has never a matter of just getting it done - but getting it done right. Thank You Phil -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content.

CentOS-6, isos and release
by Karanbir Singh 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

hi guys, I appreciate that the visibility of centos-6 content is highly tempting and many people are going to be jumping in to get on there asap - however, I just want to point out that till its released, its liable to change. And I can *confirm* that content presently visible is going to change. So hang in there, give it another day or so - dont do the installs till the mirror system is online, till the sha sum's for content is published, till the torrents are available. - KB

More on CentOS autotools bug
by John J. Boyer 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Below is a repost of the message I sent about the strange error message I was getting when trying to build my project on CentOS. I am a software developer and don't have time to compare distros. I am also not an autotools expert. The autotools files in my project were lmade by others. It builds on everything except CentOS. I also don't have the time to build a simple test case. That would probably be time-consuming. The only thing I can do is explain how to reproduce the error. However, this would be time-consuming for anyone trying to do so. Sorry, I think I will just have to move to another distro, even Cygwin, for C development. That is a shame, because Centos is great in other respects. ----- Forwarded message from "John J. Boyer" <john.boyer(a)abilitiessoft.com> ----- Subject: Strange autotools error From: "John J. Boyer" <john.boyer(a)abilitiessoft.com> Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 00:08:09 -0500 To: centos(a)centos.org I am using CentOS 5.6, autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.6. I run an autogen script which cleans all autotools files and then installs new ones. If the appliction has no dependencies running configure, make and make install works fine. However if it has dependencies I get the messages "Creating Makefile" and "Could not find input file Makefile". I've herd that I need another development package. What is it? Or what causes these contradictory messages? I must say that I have encountered this sort of problem only on CentOS. Thanks, John -- John J.
