Upgrading kernel
by Kai 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

So here's my questions. 1. If I install Kernel manually (downloading latest kernel), is the .config file on my disc and can I use it so my starting point is the setup for this pc? Is this the one? /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-11.EL-i686/.config 2. There is a routine for upgrading a upgraded kernel with the rpm tool, is it available a upgraded kernel for Centos 4.1 or can I use latest fedora kernel? 3. I read some place how to make a kernel the rh way or something (making a rh kernel from the kernel.org kernel) Has someone a good routine for this? Small pointers and links would be appreciated. Spec. and info CentOS 4.1 – amd64 athlon s754 Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-11.EL #1 Wed Jun 8 16:59:52 CDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux I have been running 64bit and 32 bit back and forward a couple of times on my desktop and ended up going back to 32 bit. Even thou I now 32 bit programs run on 64 bit, I need Java fully supported. My concern is that I believe that I visually can see some difference in performance and that the 64 bit seems to be a little more stable and faster. My impression nothing more, programs don't hang as long etc. Therefore I would like to upgrade my Kernel to see if this will help me. kai

pointers for using CentOS box as filter for children
by Robert 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

greetings has anyone here setup a CentOS box to use as a home or business gateway for children through young adults or otherwise? i realize this is a generalized question and that iptables and many other things exist that could be implemented. im looking for a way to give the youngster the benefit of the doubt and allow them to "obey God/parents" first before they have to be totally restricted after having been disobedient. specifically we could do it two ways. one is, that which is not expressly permitted is denied... and i would prefer not to have to do it that way. it is too easy and may not allow for the child to choose to be obedient to God/parents. the other seems like it might be better, that which is not expressly denied is permitted... YET i want to make sure of only a few things if possible... how can i keep the youngster from using an IM program and how to make sure they are not transferring files larger that say 100k, ie no large music files etc? only small pics or homework things etc. can one hit a moving IM program protocol port target that recognizes the packets and shut it down? also, what packages out there are people using that have time based restrictions, like until 11pm or other configs? thanks - rh -- Robert Hanson - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services www.abbacomm.net

Boot hanging and app for ham radio
by Richard R (Dick) Rutledge 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Jim, Thanks for the suggestions. I think you hit the nail on the head with the nvidia card. X runs great with no obvious problems. I only need to get one more app runing and it is for ham radio. I am trying to compile a app called soundmodem. It interfaces the computer with a ham radio for packet operations. When I compile it I get errors telling me xml is not available. In my search for xml I have found that xml is replaced with xml2. I tried changing the source calls for xml with xml12 but it failed with modules not being present, and none of the names that it was looking for were not system modules. But I will get it going somehow. The app will be used by Emergency Services in the county where I live. Thanks for your help on the X problem. Dick

Reconstructing duplicate lvm
by James Olin Oden 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hi All, Basically, I have an upgrade script for a system that breaks md mirrors and then constructs a chroot from the broken off members (i.e in this case partitions on /dev/sdb) and does the upgrade in this chroot. The end result is that until the reboot applications on this system can remain running while the chroot is being updated (much hand waving at this point). This works fine if LVM riding on top of md does not enter the equation. Now I have to contend with LVM, and it occured to me that after the mirror was broken I would in this chroot I would need to somehow reconstruct all the LVM stuff (pv's, vg's and lv's) with the pv now being a partition on /dev/sdb instead of some md device, because the current volume group was built on top of an md device for a physical volume and thus would only give me the active system no matter what I tried (or not work at all). So how does one do this without destroying data? And futhermore am I not seeing things clearly and am missing some important point? Thanks...james

Boot hanging with rhgb
by Richard R (Dick) Rutledge 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hello I have installed Centos-4.1 and love it over Fedora or Mandriva. A big thank you to all the hands and minds that have put together a very good distribution. However I do have a problem when I boot with rhgb enabled in grub.conf. The system hangs at the end loading IE(when the bar is full). I can get bye in either of two ways. The first is to switch to a virtual console before the system hangs and the other is to remove the rhgb option in grub.conf. I would ask for any comments on how to trouble shoot this problem so it can be fix. Or if it is not important please tell me and I will remove the option from grub.conf. Thank you in advance for your help. Dick Rutledge

Areca controllers?
by HaraldFinnås 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Just wondering if anyone has seen performance tests on Areca SATA controllers? How good are they compared to LSI "X" series and 3ware 9500s? And last but not least, are the drivers included in the stock kernel? Regards, Harald

Query: Centos 4.2 availability
by Maciej Żenczykowski 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hi, Not meaning to rush you folks (you're doing a great job). But I'm about to install/clone 4 computers with Centos 4. When can I expect 4.2 to be out (in DVD format preferably)? As in, is it worth waiting and saving myself the later hassle extra downloads? [I don't actually have 4.1 DVD's, just 4.0, so I pretty much have to download the DVD.ISO anyway] Cheers & Thanks, MaZe.
