Perl library
by Fong Vang 30 May '06

30 May '06

For over five years now, we use Perl during the post install of kickstart to perform customization. It appears the Perl setup is broken in CentOS 4.3 x86_64. It still works fine on CentOS 4.1 32-bit. The library Perl needs is missing: # perl -V error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director Is this a bug or is RedHat deprecating support for Perl during the installation?

Centosplus repo for apt-get?
by Ralph Alvy 30 May '06

Is there a centosplus repo I can use with apt-get, or do I have to rely on yum for centosplus?

authconfig and Segmentation fault
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 29 May '06

29 May '06

List, I configured my system to use Kerberos for authentication using authconfig, so I returned back my configuration of my system to use MD5 passwd and shadows pass using authconfig but when I uncheck "Use kerberos" a Segmentation fault comes to my screen: [root@netreporter.domain:~]# authconfig Segmentation fault I tried to check others options but I receive the Segmentation fault again! I'm using CentOS 4.3 + Updates. Regards Israel

It tends to be expensive to do away with all points of failure. The best you can do on a budget is try to limit your points of failure to things that tend to have a long lifespan (i.e. almost anything other than servers and individual hard drives). For another (relatively) low-cost option, check out the AoE storage appliances from Coraid.com. Mine is still in testing, but it was very easy to configure with CentOS4 and I haven't found any problems with it so far. I currently have a 1.2TB storage area shared between three CentOS servers with GFS. -- Bowie

Installing 4.3 from CD
by Jeffrey B. Layton 29 May '06

29 May '06

Howdy, I hate to bother everyone with something so simple, but I've beat my head bloody on this one. I have a new machine with an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard (ATI Xpress200 chipset) and a Hammer DVD Writer (shows up as a Matshita DVD-RAM SW-9585). Anyway, I downloaded the CentOS 4.3 iso's and burned them to CD. When I boot the new machine it says: Boot CD: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER I've _never_ seen this error message before. I know this is a RTFM kind of question, but I don't have any idea right now. Any ideas? TIA! Jeff

kickstart, no dhcp reply received.
by Fong Vang 29 May '06

29 May '06

I'm trying to kicktart a CentOS 4.3 x86_64. However, anaconda is unabled to do dhcp, complaining about"no DHCP reply received". While tailing the log on the dhcp server, I clearly see a request come in and address is offered. This same machine kicks fine with CentOS 4.1 (32-bit). Since anaconda could potentially use a different NIC (this system contains 2 NICSs), I've tried plugging both interfaces into the kickstart network (I've seen interfaces swapped before) as a test. I know that the CentOS 4.3 x64 setup I have works fine because I can kick a different hardware with it. Any idea what else to check for? Could it be that the e1000 driver in CentOS 4.3 x64 is older than the CentOS 4.1 driver? Any help is appreciated.

Had to think a bit to understand why yum was not showing me the new errata kernel until I realized that 2.6.9-34.106.unsupported > 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL in the sorting order. I downloaded from a mirror and forced the install: [root@tabb1 RPMS]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package kernel-2.6.9-34.106.unsupported (which is newer than kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL) is already installed [root@tabb1 RPMS]# rpm -ivh --force kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel ########################################### [100%] [root@tabb1 RPMS]# Similar problems for kernel-devel and kernel-doc RPMS. If the name for the last centosplus/unsupported version had been kernel-2.6.9-34.unsupported.106 (or similar) the new version[s] would have been offered for installation, and since (I believe) unsupported.106 > EL for rpm/yum, the new centosplus kernels would still be installable if that repo is configured.

Printing problem
by Damien Hull 28 May '06

28 May '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is anyone having any printing problems in CentOS 4.3? Here's what I'm seeing (problem) 1. Can't import ppd file 2. After manually adding the ppd file it doesn't show up in the gui print tool 3. Haven't been able to share a printer using the gui tool I'm wondering if this is just my problem (user error on my part) or if this is a CentOS/Redhat problem. - -- You can get my public PGP key at https://keyserver.pgp.com Digital Overload http://www.digitaloverload.net Keep your data safe by doing regular backups.
