Putting CentOS 5.2 kernel on CentOS 4.x
by Fong Vang 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Has anyone tried to install a CentOS 5.x kernel on a CentOS 4.x system? Is this doable? I"m aware of the dependencies but I'm curious if anyone has done this successfully. Basically, we have a few hundred 4.x systems that cannot be upgraded to 5.x, yet, but we do need the kernel update to fix the XFS problem as described here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3125

Or you can do it like this: find . -type f -exec grep -H <pattern> {} \; >From the man page: -H, --with-filename Print the filename for each match. -- Bowie

by Timothy Murphy 03 Oct '08

I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system. What do people use to backup Centos systems? -- 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

got a centos5.2 web/database server thats on a public coloc, its dmesg fills up with TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 82.135.195.32:64905/8032 shrinks window 354477433:354478918. Repaired.

I know thats because of random bogosity coming in from the internet, and I really don't care. can I suppress that from filling up the dmesg buffer so I can see more important things like scsi soft errors?

I tend to use a combination of 'find' and 'grep'. It looks something like this: find . -type f -name '*.txt' | xargs grep 'whatever' Add the '-l' option to grep if you just want a list of the filenames. -- Bowie

VNC & GDM & runlevel 3
by Test 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Has anybody been able to get this to work ? I have been trying multiple options until now but all give me the empty crappy desktop with black cross display... I have tried changing the server_args in the xinetd config, but that makes a connection and exits straigt away... On 1 box it works in runlevel 5, but that is obvious (IMHO)... My Config: /etc/services vnc800 5900/tcp # VNC & GDM 800x600 vnc1024 5901/tcp # VNC & GDM 1024x768 xinetd.d service vnc800 { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = nobody server = /usr/bin/Xvnc server_args = -inetd -broadcast -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 -once -fp unix/:7100 -securitytypes=none } /etc/gdm/custom.conf [xdmcp] Enable=True -- Test <test(a)remedial-teacher.nl>

Install CentOS-5.0 on HP-ComPaq DC7700 Dual Core
by James B. Byrne 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

I am attempting to install CentOS-5.0 from CD-ROM onto an HPQ- DC7700 Dual Core machine. The standard install seems to halt at, or immediately after, this point in the setup process is displayed on the console: <Enter> {default install option} ... CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU 4300 @ 1.8GHz stepping 02 ... ACPI: Assume root bridge [\_sb_.pc10] bus is 0. I would like to get this box running so any help with this is greatly appreciated. The reason for using CentOS-5.0 is because I do not which to wait 30 some odd hours to download new ISO images. The plan is to install from 5.0 and upgrade to 5.2. last point. I am a digest subscriber so the favour of a direct reply (REPLY ALL) is requested. Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
