Pressing "I" for interactive start-up does nothing
by Michael Chinn, CFO 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Greetings, I'm trying to convert a Dell Inspiron 210B laptop into a sandbox using Centos4.2. The install went without incident but rebooting (starting) the first time the system hangs at "Initializing storage network" then says "disabling IRQ# 11" then goes no further. I've tried to press "i" and "I" to enter into interactive start-up (so I can check the log file) but I can't get interative start-up to turn over. Ideas? Thanks, Michael

by Adrian Coman 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Hi, I have a Packard Bell Easynote B notebook with CentOS 4.2 on it. I activated the standby option and it seems that entering the standby is OK (in a few seconds the display and hdd are closed, the power led is clipping). But when I try to restart the notebook, the hdd sems like it reads something, but the display remains blank. Also ctrl+alt+backspace or ctrl+alt+del don't have any efect. Did any of you succeded in making standby working with 4.2? Thanks, Adrian

Study Guide by Topics for Beginners
by Alain Reguera 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Hi, I've been trying to organize my self, and has been making an order list, for beginners (as I am), of practical topics that should be studied to manage a communication node (ISP). Also, each topic should have referred books, urls and materials about it, in order of reading too. Here I ask you for some experienced help, to conform this, or some reference point where start on. The way you consider it must be done. My plan to learn is make a review of reading from start to end of it to get an overall idea of the topic (as a whole), and then go increasing the level of specification in each topic on each review reading. So the topics' ordering and the topics 'em selves are very important. Could this be right, any suggestion at this point would be highly appreciated too? So my starting list, 1. Introduction to Internet: The bases, and general ideas of where we are standing. At this point I started with Douglas E. Comer's Internetworking with TCP/IP Vol1 2. Firewalls: To grant security in place before start. 3. DNS: 4. Proxy: 3. Mail: 4. Web Server: 5. FTP Server: And of course CentOS-Linux to deploy all this. Any suggestion? Any idea? Anything will be appreciated.

MythTV on Centos 4
by Kirk Bocek 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

I'm starting a project to build a MythTV box for my living room. Anyone else currently working with MythTV on CentOS 4? Here are some of the gotcha's I've worked through so far: - I was originally planning on using KnoppMyth. But their CD appears to be only for i386. Without realizing it, the P4 CPU I picked is one of the newer ones with the x86_64 extensions. It won't boot i386. Thus, my plan B is going with CentOS4 x86_64 and installing from the ATrpms collection. Here's someone who's already doing this: http://umich2.com/archives/category/linux/mythtv/ - I picked up a cheap Radeon 7000 with TV out. Wrong! Various posts seem to say that the TV Out functionality is not supported by the X.org radeon driver. It *does* work with the vesa driver though. I just don't know if video and DVD playback will work with the vesa driver. Does anyone know? - The stock RedHat kernel does *not* have irda support enabled. I downloaded 2.6.13.2, enabled irda, and my motherboard's irda port is found and configured. We'll see if I can get it to work with the IR adapter in the nMediaPC case I bought. Kirk Bocek

Yum

Does anyone know how to get yum to ignore updates of a particular package? We use nagios 1.2 and yum wants to update it to nagios 2, how ever that breaks nagios when it does that. I want it to skip the updates of nagios and related packages till we work out the problems. Peter

by William L. Maltby 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Got three emails from Brian Trudeau <brian.trudeau(a)eastek-intl.com> to my mbox address saying With a subject of re: xxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxx Re: [CentOS] How to add System V to CentOS? Says thanks for submitting a ticket to support and gives three tickets 2DE-0B7CC3E3-050B, 34B-0B7CC3E2-829E, 1B5-0B7CC3E3-CB12 Since I had nothing to do with this, wanted to get it back to the list so that the interested party can locate it.

Update csgfs without breaking things
by Bowie Bailey 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Now that the csgfs repo has been updated to support the new kernel, I'm looking at doing updates again. I just want to do it without breaking things (if possible). I can handle doing a bit of trial and error, but I figure that if you guys can point out any obvious pitfalls, that can save me quite a bit of time. I'm looking at doing the following install/update: ============================================================================ = Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================ = Installing: GFS-kernel-smp i686 2.6.9-45.0.2.centos4 csgfs 191 k cman-kernel-smp i686 2.6.9-41.0.2.centos4 csgfs 121 k dlm-kernel-smp i686 2.6.9-39.1.2.centos4 csgfs 119 k kernel i686 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL update 9.7 M kernel-devel i686 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL update 3.6 M kernel-smp i686 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL update 9.4 M Updating: GFS i386 6.1.3-0 csgfs 137 k cman i686 1.0.4-0 csgfs 27 k fence i686 1.32.10-0 csgfs 79 k magma i686 1.0.3-2 csgfs 33 k magma-plugins i386 1.0.5-0 csgfs 16 k Should I update them all at once like this, or are there any other issues I should be aware of? -- Bowie

Unable to mount SMB drive
by Benjamin Smith 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host. when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a list of files, etc) smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following command takes about 10 seconds: smbmount //server/sharename /mnt/servername -o \ credentials=/path/to/credentials,ro I've also tried an alternate format: mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME //server/sharename /mnt/servername Same results both ways. I found a CentOS forum where somebody had problems with the RPM package, but retrograding to the package(s) he recommends didn't change anything. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2307 I'm running the latest samba-client & samba-common on CentOS 4.2. SELinux is in warn mode. Here's the /var/log/messages when I mount: Feb 2 19:42:16 sol kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev smbfs, type smbfs), uses genfs_contexts Feb 2 19:42:16 sol kernel: smb_retry: no connection process Feb 2 19:42:46 sol kernel: smb_add_request: request [c554bee0, mid=0] timed out! Feb 2 19:42:46 sol kernel: smb_delete_inode: could not close inode 2 Feb 2 19:42:46 sol kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev smbfs, type smbfs), uses genfs_contexts Feb 2 19:42:46 sol mount.smbfs[21755]: [2006/02/02 19:42:46, 0] client/smbmount.c:send_fs_socket(410) Feb 2 19:42:46 sol mount.smbfs[21755]: mount.smbfs: entering daemon mode for service \\heliodorite.sunset.net\iissites, pid=21755 Running with debug=8 didn't provide much that was helpful. Any ideas where to go from here? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978
