CentOS 4.2 with LSI MRSATA300-8X?
by HaraldFinnås 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Just wondering if anyone is using CentOS 4.2 with a LSI MRSATA300-8X controller? I just got a new SuperMicro server with this controller, and the install works just fine, but it panics when booting after install. For all I know (yet), it might be a problem with the server itself, but I suspect it's the LSI controller that's the problem. I've just started looking into it, so I haven't copied the panic log yet. I'm currently trying to install 4.1 hoping that'll work... Regards, Harald

Also, are there any tests/monitors to find the same cause in the future ? It could be something that is silently bothering other people as well, and a technical explanation together with Google might make this valuable information.

VPN via PPTP and MPPE
by James B. Byrne 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

I have set up a VPN over PPTP on a CentOS server using the DKMS module rpm dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4 from http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/repodata/repovie w/dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4.kb.html and kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm at http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora- core-3.phtml. I have configured the pptpd server on Centos4 to use MS_CHAPv2, 128bit encryption and to assign server side and client IP addresses in the range a.b.c.42-48 and a.b.c.52-58 respectively. I have also opened the firewall for tcp port 1723 and the GRE protocol (47). I have configured a Microsoft Win2Kpro client and I can connect and establish a VPN. However I am missing something because: 1. If I try and connect to a machine on the local network segment then the VPN channel is not used (this is probably the correct behaviour but it is not what I want and I need to know how to force local network paths over an encrypted connection). 2. If I try and connect to a host outside our local network then the traffic is not routed out through the gateway but it does travel over the vpn to the local pptdp server. So, what am I missing in all of this? Are there options for the pptpd that I need to set for this to work? I have a similar problem when I connect from outside the local network segment. The the vpn connects but then I cannot reach any other host. Any suggestions are welcome. I am a digest subscriber so if you could copy my email address on your reply then I would be appreciative.

Bryan... NOBODY CARES how many times Chris is wrong. NOBODY CARES what you prove on this point. Whether Chris is right, wrong or stoopid is NOT proper fodder for this (CENTOS) list. Chris being wrong is *strictly* a "Bryan Fixation". Part of YOU growing up is YOU realizing that whether Chris is or is not wrong is UNIMPORTANT to ANYTHING that you or anybody important to you think is important. Challenge: don't respond, unless it's about CentOS or related stuff (like the Meridian War... neat info I hadn't seen before!)

App not finding /dev/nvidia0 for /dev/dri/card0 not found on inspiron 8200 with nvidia chipset
by Jerry Geis 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I have source for a program that is attempting to open /dev/nvidia0 then on failure open /dev/dri/card0 to get some vsync settings. Neither of those two files is found on my laptop in /dev. Is this because of udev? I cant find anthing in /dev that might be used instead. Any ideas on what to open to read vsync information from X windows? Thanks, Jerry

New Standard/Daylight time-change dates in rhel4u2 but not centos4.2?
by s.davison＠computer.org 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

>From a login on a machine with rhel4u2 I can execute the following commands and get the indicated output: date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2006" Sat Mar 25 10:00:00 EST 2006 date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2007" Sun Mar 25 11:00:00 EDT 2007 As you can see, the output differs for 2006 and 2007. That indicates that rhel4u2 includes changes required by the "Energy Policy Act of 2005," which mandates new dates for transition between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time starting in 2007. If I do the same thing on a machine with "CentOS release 4.2 (Final)", I get the following output: date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2006" Sat Mar 25 10:00:00 EST 2006 date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2007" Sun Mar 25 10:00:00 EST 2007 So it looks as if CentOS4.2 does not yet have that change. Is that correct? Or is there perhaps some installation parameter that I have missed in installing CentOS4.2? Thanks for any info. Stowe Davison
