CentOS newbie just saying hello
by Nigel Kendrick 14 Dec '04

14 Dec '04

Hi folks, Just a quick hello having installed CentOS on my first box - an Acer Altos G310 (P4 2.8GHz, 768MB RAM with 70GB + 300GB storage. The 300GB unit is a SATA disk which I hope to software (hardware!?) mirror - if I'm in for any major fun mirroring a SATA drive do let me know now - I think hardware mirroring is not an option (yet!?) but I haven't checked this out completely. This isn't my first *nix/linux install - I go all the way back to Daisy Dnix, Xenix, SC..er..you know who..unix, via VAX VMS and CP/M on various systems. I have a couple of RH9 boxes that will need updating soon and I'm also running one other Acer G310 server on..er..White Box..(sorry!) so this is kind of a 'keeping my options open' thing! This new G310 will be running Bacula to provide remote backup services for 25 regional sites, and the other G310 is being used as a mail/Web/Intranet (eGroupWare) server for our 250 staff. Thanks to all those who made CentOS what it is - hope I can 'give back' sometime by sharing my experience where relevant. Nigel Kendrick --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

U4 beta rpms for CentOS
by lance＠uklinux.net 14 Dec '04

14 Dec '04

I have built a set of preview U4 beta rpms for CentOS i386 - these will become the basis of CentOS 3.4 when Rhel 3 U4 is released. I will not be pushing these out to the mirrors, but they are available at http://beta.caosity.org/centos/3.3/U4beta The beta packages are not signed. To add then to yum.conf add :- [u4beta] name=CentOS-$releasever - U4beta baseurl=http://beta.caosity.org/centos/$releasever/U4beta/$basearch/ gpgcheck=0 Please do not use these on production servers as consequences cannot be predicted .. I'll be rolling some beta isos in the next few days Any problems - bugzilla ... Regards Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

Has anyone heard any rumblings as to when U4 is coming out? I am hoping they fixed the VM bugs..<G> -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

kernel update with yum - no grub entry
by Paul Pianta 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

Hi people I am new to this list - actually I am one of (probably) a few who are jumping ship from WBEL. I feel like a bit of a scab jumping over at this time - but we all make mistakes eh? I have installed CentOS and ran 'yum update' and installed everything it prompted me for. After a reboot, I realised I had booted into the same original kernel-2.4.21-20.EL.c0smp and not the updated one - kernel-2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp. Upon further inspection I found that there was no entry made in grub.conf for the new kernel, and there is no initrd in /boot for this new kernel. Could someone please explain what has happened and whether it is normal behaviour or not? I am used to updating a kernel with yum and having all of the grub stuff done automatically for me :/ Now that I might have to do it manually myself I am getting all sooky and so came to this list to cry for help (and coz I'm a lazy bastard!). So ... -- pAntZ Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes!
