How to get 3Ware 9500S controller card working in CentOS 3.1?
by Sean Staats 18 Jul '04

18 Jul '04

My goal is to be able to install to the drive array on the 3Ware controller card. 3Ware does provide a RH WS 3 driver that I've tried to use; however, the RH Enterprise 3 WS driver doesn't work since that kernel is older than the CentOS-3.1 install kernel. I'm trying to create a centOS-3.1 installation driver disk for the 3ware 9500S card; however, I'm not having much luck. I've compiled the drivers on a stock centOS 3.1 install and created a modules.cgz file (using find . -depth | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -c > ../modules.cgz) with the newly-compiled driver modules. Here are the contents of the modules.cgz file I created: 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0BOOT/i386/3w-9xxx.o 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0hugemem/i386/3w-9xxx.o 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0/i386/3w-9xxx.o 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0smp/i386/3w-9xxx.o I've also tried the above without the 'i386' subdirectory. The stock install kernel version is 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0. That IS what I should use for the modules directory name right? I then created a driver disk with the following files: modinfo modules.cgz modules.dep pcitable rhdd-6.1 src When I boot the install CD, I type: "linux dd". I then tell the installer that the drivers are on fd0. The installer reads the disk, but doesn't find the driver and gives me this message: "No devices of the appropriate type were found on this driver disk. Would you like to manually select the driver, continue anyway, or load another driver disk?" Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Am I going about this the hard way? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! -Sean

I have no reason to complain about the work done on CentOS 3.1. Its a necessary direction due to Red Hats chosen path. >The effect of the copyright is that you cannot separate the CentOS logos >from the rest of the sources and use them, independently, for some other >purpose, without permission from Definitive Software Ltd. The effect of >the GPL is that you can copy and distribute CentOS as a whole, even though >it includes the copyrighted images. Do you see the distinction? Okay imagine I have removed the images from CentOS 3.1 and replaced them with other images I created, or with no copyright restriction. Are there any other copyrighted parts to CentOS 3.1? Is some of the code copyrighted also? >(Again, I am not a lawyer, and the GPL has all sorts of other effects that >might be construed to make it possible to re-use the logos.) Thanks for the clear response. Kevin Wood. Looking for truth and clarity nothing more..... but if you throw in a bonus, thats fine with me.

CentOS 3.1 kernel crashes
by Shawn M. Jones 12 Jul '04

12 Jul '04

Greetings everyone, I've got a problem with my fileserver running CentOS 3.1. The kernel seems to crash about once a day (inevitably when I'm not present), forcing me to reboot. This behavior started after I applied the new kernel patch (2.4.21-15.0.3.EL.c0). I've left it on 2.4.21-15.0.2 for a little bit to see if it will crash tonight/tomorrow. As this may be a hardware problem, I'm reluctant to put it into bugzilla until I can pin it on something. The server has an A-Bit KR7A motherboard with an Athlon XP 1700+, 1.5 GB of RAM, 4 120 GB ATA-100 hard drives mirrored in two sets (hence I only have 240 GB available), a Cirrus Logic GD 5430 video card, and an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100. There is nothing useful in /var/log/messages and the only reason I know when it crashes is due to my fetchmail log. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Did I patch too soon? Any suggestions on where I might look for info on why it's crashing? The screen's blank and the keyboard lights are flashing. Thanks in advance, Shawn M. Jones

yum upgrade RHEL 2.1 to CentOS-3
by Josh Hildebrand 09 Jul '04

09 Jul '04

Has any one tried to upgrade from RHAS/RHEL 2.1 to CentOS-3 using yum? Is a reboot necessary for anything other than the kernel? How smoothly did it go? And how did you do it? -- Josh Hildebrand Senior Network Engineer Newgistics, Inc... The Leader in Returns Management Solutions 512-225-6044 Newgistics, Inc. Company Confidential

My workstation (running the new kernel) did something similar yesterday -- I left my office, came back a while later, and the screen was blank. I wasn't able to switch to a VC or log in remotely (the system was pingable, and the first chunk of an SSH connection would succeed, but not complete). I was forced to power cycle. What seemed to be the same problem happened to our main file server, still running RHL9 with kernel 2.4.20-31.9smp, the day before. With no X, I was able to type a username at the login: prompt, but never got a password prompt. The machine behaved similarly with ssh connections. There was nothing obvious in the logs. I could figure out roughly when the crash happened because nothing appeared in the logs after that time.

I found a minor problem in httpd-devel-2.0.46-32.ent.3.centos.1 package in files used for developement for Apache webserver in directory /usr/lib/httpd/build thee a re weird INCLIDES paths: # pwd /usr/lib/httpd/build # grep cent * apr_rules.mk:apr_builddir=/home/centos/upd2/BUILD/httpd-2.0.46/prefork/srclib/apr apr_rules.mk:apr_builders=/home/centos/upd2/BUILD/httpd-2.0.46/srclib/apr/build config_vars.mk:APR_INCLUDEDIR = /home/centos/upd2/BUILD/httpd-2.0.46/prefork/srclib/apr/include /home/centos/upd2/BUILD/httpd-2.0.46/srclib/apr/include config_vars.mk:APU_INCLUDEDIR = /home/centos/upd2/BUILD/httpd-2.0.46/prefork/srclib/apr-util/include /home/centos/upd2/BUILD/httpd-2.0.46/srclib/apr-util/include those "dirs" should point to "real" include directories (at least in config_vars.mk)... when I overwrite APR_INCLUDEDIR and APU_INCLUDEDIR in config_vars.mk to /usr/include/http compilation works OK by Petr Klima
