HP switch and e1000 install
by Bill Wichser 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

There appears to be an issue with installation over an HP switch. Upon bootup, the network driver resets twice which somehow never allows the client to ask and therefore receive it's MAC address. This follows the RH bug : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110036 Installation via a directly attached cable to the head node works fine. I have emailed the Beowulf list in hopes that the problem was in some configuration of the switch but have recently come across this bug report and it appears that the symptoms are the same. Are there any plans to roll these patches into CentOS 3.3 (x86_64) in the near future? Thanks, Bill

Is 3.4 the same as 3.3 with all updates?
by WipeOut 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

I guess the subject says it all.. :) I am still new to Centos so I am not sure on the upgrade path and what is the best way to stay up to date.. Will updates for 3.3 still be added to the yum repo or do I need to upgrade/update my system to 3.4? Thanks

2.6 kernel on CentOS-3.3
by Tru Huynh 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi I am happy to share a "proof of concept" for a centos-3.3 (not yet 3.4 ready) x86 and x86_64 distributions running either 2.4 and 2.6 linux kernels. This is not an official statement of the CentOS team! <include std disclaimer> don't complain if this howto eats your machine ;) It works for me and the src.rpm are provided. </include> <blurb> In order to have a 2.6 kernel on CentOS-3, one need to upgrade a few packages: at least module-init-tools, sysstat, initscripts... But in order to keep a 2.4 kernel happy, you must keep modutils around. I have repacked both modutils AND module-init-tools in the same package and it is providing both. mkinitrd needs to copy both insmod(module-init-tools) and insmod.old (modutils) into your initrd, since you can use either 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. the initscripts_26 is trying to get the initialisation for both series (there is much room for improvememt). A prebuild linux 2.6.10-ac8 kernel is there too, but you don't need it, since you can compile your own. I did not make a mandatory requirement for such a package. /etc/modprobe.conf is autogenerated, but some modules could have changed name, so have a look at it! all the files are here: ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum </blurb> <howto> 1) wget ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum.conf.mini use sudo or become root 2) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y update 3) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install initscripts_26 either install you own linux-2.6.x kernel or 4a) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux linux-doc 4b) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-smp 4c) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-source reboot </howto> references: - gmk has provided a one way 2.4 ->2.6 http://altruistic.lbl.gov/lbnl - http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5793467888.html - linux src.rpm is a steal for the cAos-2 + update to 2.6.10-ac8 Best regards, Tru -- Dr Tru Huynh | http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/Binfs/ mailto:tru@pasteur.fr | tel/fax +33 1 45 68 87 37/19 Institut Pasteur, 25-28 rue du Docteur Roux, 75724 Paris CEDEX 15 France

Hey all, I am looking to get some input regarding inexpensive dedicated servers -- preferably with a hosting company the offers CentOS as an OS option. Does anybody have any input or recommendations? I'd really like to support a company that uses CentOS. And there are _so many options out there, is kind of overwhelming.

CentOS 3.4 - i386 - errata - initscripts
by Lance Davis 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

There is an update to initscripts for CentOS 3.4. The version packaged in the 3.4 isos missed the patch to remove the 10 second delay on boot with an 'unsupported configuration' . This update reimplements the patch. Files :- updates/i386/RPMS/initscripts-7.31.18.EL-1.centos.1.i386.rpm updates/i386/SRPMS/initscripts-7.31.18.EL-1.centos.1.src.rpm To update 'yum update initscripts' Lance

RE: [Centos] NNTP versus web forums

No, I mean the vast majority of employers block 119 and do not offer news service. I realize you do not need a local server, but you have to be able to connect to pull it from somewhere... -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)caosity.org [mailto:centos-bounces@caosity.org] On Behalf Of Jim Zajkowski Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 4:06 PM To: CentOS discussion and information list Subject: Re: [Centos] NNTP versus web forums On Jan 8, 2005, at 4:46 PM, Mark A.

You don't need a local nntp server to read news, any nntp client can connect to any other nntp server, assuming that that server lets you connect. I'm not in favor of creating a CentOS topic under the usenet comp.sys hierarchy, I'm talking about running a private nntp server. For example, Novell runs their forums over nntp, and people configure their clients to connect to news.novell.com. When I was a student we used a local nntp server for class forums and project help. --Jim -- Jim Zajkowski OpenPGP 0x21135C3 http://www.jimz.net/pgp.asc System Administrator 8A9E 1DDF 944D 83C3 AEAB 8F74 8697 A823 2113 5C53 UM Life Sciences Institute _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)caosity.org http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CentOS and SuperMicro P8SCi motherboard
by Avtar Gill 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

There was recently a thread on this mailing list regarding SuperMicro hardware and CentOS. Here is one of the posts: http://lists.caosity.org/pipermail/centos/2005-January/001503.html My question is about the P8SCi motherboard, a fairly new SuperMicro model. The vendor's specifications page mentions Linux but I would rather hear from end users and their experiences. Here is a URL: http://supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/E7221/P8SCi.cfm I've found one post on a Debian mailing list which mentioned it but that person is using a 2.6 kernel: http://tinyurl.com/5jlry Is anyone here using CentOS (or any RHEL clone OS) on a box that contains one of these boards? Any issues that you have come across? Thanks, Avtar
