PXE boot Centos 4.0beta problems
by Alan Sparks 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Has anyone yet tried PXE booting the vmlinuz/initrd.img set from Centos 4.0beta2? I have a pxelinux setup that is booting 3.4 PXE images fine, but the equivalent setup for 4.0beta loads the kernel and then splashes the monitor full of multicolor random characters. Not a good start to an install... Anyone had luck? Any changes for PXE boots known for 4.0? Thanks in advance. -Alan

modprobe and modules not found
by Robert Hanson 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Greetings, test server: 1.8 MHz Intel P4 D865PERL Intel MB w/ built in 10/100 NIC, sound etc. I’ve loaded CentOS 3.3 – yum upgraded to 3.4 I am used to “much older” Linux kernel/distributions i.e. like 1.2.13 and early 2.x stuff. I humbly ask why these modules are not found in the distribution. Please point me to where I get them and associated instructions please. I am sure I am looking in the wrong place(s). --------------------- ModProbe Begin ------------------------ Can't locate these modules: sound-service-1-0: 2 Time(s) sound-service-0-0: 1 Time(s) sound-slot-1: 2 Time(s) char-major-188: 1 Time(s) ---------------------- ModProbe End ------------------------- Thanks in advance and apologies for bringing such an annoyingly simple problem to the list. - rh -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi, I have a legacy AES excrypted file system with a 256 key size. RHEL kernel is cryptoloop enabled but the losetup package is not. It needs additional patch. Does anybody have a patched losetup rpm I could use? Thank you! A. Georgiev

x86_64 timer resolution in ping results
by Simon Garner 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi, There seems to be a problem with the timer resolution on x86_64. This is clear in ping results - I don't know if it's just a ping problem or if it manifests elsewhere as well. It does also affect mtr and traceroute times. I guess it's more a kernel issue than a CentOS problem, but is anyone else seeing the same? Ping results have a resolution of 10ms - so a ping <10ms shows as 0.000ms... --- On an Opteron machine running CentOS-3.4 --- # uname -a Linux omega.xxx 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 19 11:28:26 CST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # ping 192.168.1.200 PING 192.168.1.200 (192.168.1.200) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.000 ms --- 192.168.1.200 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.000/0.000/0.000/0.000 ms, pipe 2 # ping google.com PING google.com (216.239.39.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=240 time=230 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=220 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=240 time=220 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=3 ttl=240 time=230 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=4 ttl=240 time=230 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=5 ttl=240 time=220 ms --- google.com ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 5050ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 220.006/225.006/230.006/5.000 ms, pipe 2 ---- Expected result: On an i686 machine running CentOS-3.3 ---- # ping 192.168.1.202 PING 192.168.1.202 (192.168.1.202) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.202: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.094 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.202: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.059 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.202: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.070 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.202: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.057 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.202: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.068 ms --- 192.168.1.202 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4016ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.057/0.069/0.094/0.016 ms, pipe 2 # ping google.com PING google.com (216.239.39.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=240 time=201 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=203 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=240 time=201 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=3 ttl=240 time=202 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=4 ttl=240 time=201 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=5 ttl=240 time=201 ms --- google.com ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 5049ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 201.044/201.939/203.012/0.926 ms, pipe 2 Kind regards, -Simon

upgrade RH9?

Can you upgrade RH9 to Centos, or do you have to do a complete install? Is there an iso with a .ks file on it to do a remote install?

Whitebox to CentOS upgrade
by first last 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Hi everyone, I have a home computer that I use to develop on, which it is running Whitebox 3.0. I have copied all the required CentOS 3.4 RPMs to /RPM, created a new yum repository and then updated, but when I try to upgrade, it fails on a "recursive dependency on glibc". Is there any way I can force that dependency? Would it be easier to upgrade to 4.0 using Anaconda? Thanks for all the work Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Apcupsd UPS monitoring
by Nigel Kendrick 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Having some fun with the APC monitoring daemon (apcupsd) - I've installed the Whitebox rpm and it runs OK but I cannot communicate with the UPS on ttyS0 or ttyS1. I'm using a supported cable (according to the utility's Web site). I've followed the troubleshooting tips on the app's Web site with no luck - the only bit that I can't resolve is it recommends disabling logins on ttySn - how's this done as I can't find any notes on the site or via a google search. Does anyone have any experience of this utility - and any tips? Thanks Nigel Kendrick
