by David Hláčik 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hi, i am trying to build a custom xen kernel from CentOS source kernel rpm . What i want to achieve is to have custom domU kernel without modules, which will boot domU machine without having /lib/modules . My first try is to simple disable Loadable module support , so i have followed tutorial on CentOS wiki for kernel building http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel . Now it is building, my question is will it work? - again all i have done is to disabled loadable module support. Can someone please point me to sucessfull end? Thanks in advance! D.

Curiosity when installing CentOS 5.1 in addition to W98 & WXP
by MHR 12 May '08

12 May '08

I got half way through an installation of CentOS on a box that has Window$ 98 in the first partition and Window$ XP in the second, where CentOS was designated for partitions 3 (/boot - 128MB) and 4 (/) and had some strange results. During the install, I changed the default OS to boot to Window$ (because I rarely use this machine, but others who don't have a clue use Wxx), but then while the packages were downloading, I left the machine alone. When I came back, it had rebooted to the DVD, so I pulled it out and rebooted again. It came up in the Windows boot selection screen (W98 or WXP), and never stopped at grub. Should I not have set it to go to Windows by default, or is this something different? Thanks. mhr

mdadm update
by Linux 12 May '08

12 May '08

Hi, I have uptodate x86_64 CentOS 5 with official repositories. mdadm version is v2.5.4 - 13 October 2006 This version is known to have problems with raid10 configurations. Sadly, I have a 4 disk raid10 on this system. I tried adding Dag's repository but system complains about some packages which are already installed as missing and refuses to "# yum update" This box also has some modifications so I do not want to change repository settings. I want to update mdadm. Can I use standalone rpm file for this update? Thanks.

Gnome-terminal's backslashes look like Ws with a horizontal line through -- how to get a backslash?
by Charles E Campbell Jr 12 May '08

12 May '08

Hello! I've just started trying gnome-terminal (instead of xterm) because of its "tabbing" facility. However, I note that with it backslashes appear something like a W with a horizontal line through it. Any known way to get a backslash to appear as a backslash? To see what I mean, use gnome-terminal with echo '\' in bash, ksh, etc. Regards, Chip Campbell

ASUS WL-100W PCMCIA Wireless NIC

Hi everyone, Any chance I can get the card[1] in $subj to work under CentOS 5.1 ? The only thing I get in dmesg when inserting/removing the card, are messages from pccard: --- dmesg --- pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 pccard: card ejected from slot 0 --- end --- When inserting, no new network interface becomes available, so I assume it doesn't recognize it. Any way I can get it to work? Tips, pointers to relevant docs are all very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance, and have a great day everyone. Cheers, Alex 1. http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=12&l2=42&l3=135&model=1278&modelmenu=1

Howto get yum/http download statistics?
by Patrick 11 May '08

11 May '08

Hi, How do you get yum/http download statistics of files (rpms) that live on a CentOS5.1 box with Apache? Is it just a matter of installing some weblog analyzer software or is some other magic needed? Thanks! Patrick
