Compile error
by Sam Drinkard 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

A bit off topic, but having trouble again with the 64-bit libs when trying to compile this short fortran code to build a shared object. Can anyone offer an explaination of what is meant by the relocation bit, and how to fix it? I've tried the -fPIC, but apparently I either didn't have it in the right place or it does not work. Be glad to take this offline if somone could help me. Here's the output from the compile.... Hostid: PGI=003048E02E69493B247282 fortran routine compiled create shared library... /usr/bin/ld: wrf_user_fortran_util_0.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC wrf_user_fortran_util_0.o: could not read symbols: Bad value error in load, error exit

centos on 64M 350Mhz pentimum II
by Jerry Geis 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

All, I have an old computer 64M 350Mhz pentium II. centos os 4.1 installs on it fine. however on boot it says low memory and it kills certain processes. httpd or sendmail. I have a 2GIG swap and I did a chkconfig XXX off on a few things like xfs, nfs, httpd, kudzu. My old 2.4 kernel used to run in 4M with a swap... I had recompiled the kernel (took a while) to enable the cyclades module. Any suggestions on running with low memory, thanks, Jerry

LM_SENSORS
by Sam Drinkard 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Sorry if this has been around many times before, but I've done quite a bit of reading and searching for some type of human readable guide for setting up the lm_sensors for hardware monitoring. I've dorked around with the stuff in the system here, but after looking at the /etc/sensors.conf, I don't think I want to delve into that and try to pull out the right group of settings. It is definately a bit intimidating. So, is there any other software already written or in use for hardware monitoring that does not require a PhD to set up? The current sensors displays both the ISA and smbus readings, but none are even remotely close. The board uses thermistors for temp, which is mainly what I want to monitor. -- Snowman

PE-2850 to AX100 via Qlogic Card (QLA200 HBA) on CentOS 4.1
by kadafax 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Hi list, I have the choice to use RHEL4 or Centos4.x on a Dell PowerEdge2850 who is linked to an AX100 storage system. My question is: does the QLA200 (the pci fiber channel card) driver will work on CentOS 4.1 . For now the card is listed like this on CentOS 4.1: --- #lspci 09:04.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp.: Unknown device 6312 (rev 03) --- What kind of modification must/can I do to the original RPM driver for it to work on CentOS? Am I stuck to use RHEL? Thanks for any advice.

Iptables Rpm Missing Modules
by Ben Mohilef 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

The current build of iptables does not appear to include some modules. Among these are ipt_recent.so, a very handy module in deflecting the current flurry of sshd dictionary attacks. Lineox appears to have the same problem. This is because the RedHat source rpm spec file is not explicit in the kernel directory location and that omission affects these few modules. Required changes in the spec file are in bold and italics (everywhere there is a /usr just replace it by /usr/src/linux-2.4): make COPT_FLAGS="$OPT" KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 LIBDIR=/%{_lib} make COPT_FLAGS="$OPT" KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 LIBDIR=/%{_lib} iptables- save iptables-restore make COPT_FLAGS="$OPT" KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 LIBDIR=/%{_lib} ip6tables-save ip6tables-restore make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux- 2.4 BINDIR=/sbin LIBDIR=/%{_lib} MANDIR=%{_mandir} %if %{build_devel} make install-devel DESTDIR=%{buildroot} KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 BINDIR=/sbin LIBDIR=%{_libdir} MANDIR=%{_mandir} To fix this yourself, first download the iptables source rpm, install it, modify the spec (/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/iptables.spec) and run rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/iptables.spec . It runs quickly and produces an rpm which contains all of the missing modules.

Lost my menu options again - KDE messes with Gnome?
by Dave Gutteridge 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

This was a problem I had a while back. I lost the "Preferences" menu item in my "Applications" menu in Gnome. After much discussion, the following commands got my "Preferences" menu item back, along with all the applications inside of it: rpm -e redhat-artwork redhat-menus --nodeps --allmatches yum install redhat-artwork redhat-menus But... For some reason it isn't working this time. My "Preferences" option in my application menu is gone, and I don't even know why it left. And doing the commands above aren't getting them back. Actually, I have some suspicion as to why I've lost my "Preferences" option in my "Applications" menu. Last time this happened, it happened after I installed Amarok and ended up with a bunch of KDE settings I didn't want. This time, I installed Quanta, which required some KDE libraries, but it didn't seem to cause as much chaos as last time. However, the implications are that for some reason, having any KDE programs seems to affect my Gnome options. What's up with that? Dave

mkinitrd-4.2.1.3-1 unsuitable for 2.6.13+ kernels?
by Simen Thoresen 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Hi all, I have a Opteron-machine with the MPT SCSI-controller (Symbios 53c1030). At least in i386-mode, mkinitrd does not seem to build a usable initrd for 2.6.13.x (.3 tested) with this kernel. With 2.6.12.6 it works fine. I have not tested this in x86_64 -mode yet. The symptom is that mptbase and mptscsih load, but mptscsih does not discover any controllers nor drives, and things like Booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting mkrootdev: lable / not found mount: error 2 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed : 22 umount : /initrd/dev failed : 22 kernel panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill init occur. I have been informed that there are changes to the mpt-driver options between 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, and that part of the menuconfig-screens does indeed look different. So - are there any plans for an mkinitrd upgrade, either from CentOS or RH? Alternatively, is there a workaround for this problem? I have not spent much time picking initrds appart yet, but I will be happy to assist in testing. Yours, -S -- Simen Thoresen, Wulfkit Support, Dolphin ICS http://www.tysland.com/~simentt/cluster
