kickstart question with 2 network cards
by Jerry Geis 19 May '08

19 May '08

I am using kickstart to automate installs. working nicely. I now have a box with 2 NIC cards and I am getting prompted for which nick to use. I have a line like: network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --hostname tmp.msgnet.com in my kickstart. This line does not seem to be enough to say install with eth0 even though there may be an eth1. How do I tell kickstart to not prompt for which network and just use eth0. Thanks, Jerry

Try specifying the target explicitly: ln -s /mnt/jack/opt/files /opt/files (no trailing slashes on either the source or destination) -- Bowie

yum problem after last kernel
by Alex Palenschat 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hello all, I've been googling and haven't found an answer. I have a Centos 4.6 box that is having an issue since the last yum update. The nss_ldap and kernel packages were the only packages installed/updated. When I try to run yum I now receive: [root@ns1 ~]# yum update There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.3.so: undefined symbol: xdr___db_get_name_reply[rpmdb Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.3.4 (#1, Dec 11 2007, 05:27:57) [GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq [root@ns1 ~]# rpm -qi rpm-libs Name : rpm-libs Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 4.3.3 Vendor: CentOS Release : 23_nonptl Build Date: Sat 17 Nov 2007 06:13:56 AM CST Install Date: Mon 07 Jan 2008 11:57:33 AM CST Build Host: builder6 Group : Development/Libraries Source RPM: rpm-4.3.3-23_nonptl.src.rpm Size : 1739984 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Sun 18 Nov 2007 02:55:20 PM CST, Key ID a53d0bab443e1821 Summary : Libraries for manipulating RPM packages.

ndiswrapper and 4K stacks problem (system freezes)
by Timothy Kesten 18 May '08

18 May '08

Hi Folks, I'm trying tio install WLAN - USB - Stick Netgear WG111v3. ndiswrapper -i wg111v3 works. I can see ndiswrapper -l wg111v3: driver installed device (0846:4260) present But after modprobe ndiswrapper the system freezes. Troublshooting on ndiswrapper-sites says: It's a problem of "kernel is using 4K stacks (CONFIG_4KSTACKS)" Solution: recompile the kernel. That's no good solution. Is there a knowing "CentOS-like" solution for this problem? Thx Timothy

howto use kvm-amd on centos 5.1
by Jerry Geis 18 May '08

18 May '08

Is there a way to use kvm-amd on centos 5.1? I dont want to mess with XEN. I want the hardware virtualization that is on my AMD chip. I played with putting 2.6.24 and centos 5.1 on my AMD laptop, got kvm-amd and that works. However I want to put this on my desktop that is running 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5. Is there a way or do I just wave to use 2.6.24 or 25. Thanks, Jerry

CentOS-DS
by Jason Ross 18 May '08

Hey all, I am looking at deploying a directory server in a small network. Currently looking at Fedora-ds and I noticed that CentOS is currently working on one. Does anyone know if the CentOS-DS is working well at this point? I noticed a how to is up on the wiki and was wondering if maybe it was preferable to Fedora-ds at this point. Thanks, Jason Ross
