My subnet is declared correctly, I even went back and checked. Firestarter says it starts but doesn't seem to enable NAT because nothing behind the firewall can reach the internet. Regards Ed Warner

Integrate shell scripts into Nautilus ?
by Niki Kovacs 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi, I'd like to integrate a handful of shell scripts into my Nautilus file browser, for example to be able to resize a selection of images with one click via ImageMagick, or convert videos easily. After a bit of Googling, I found out that folks seem to do this by placing scripts into ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts. Only that doesn't seem to work for me. Nothing appears in the browsers contextual menu. Any pointers for a start ? Anyone here using something similar ? Cheers, Niki

Greasemonkey question
by Boris Epstein 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hello all, Sorry about going a bit off-topic (the question is not really Linux-related) but here it goes nonetheless: 1) How does one create a webpage with a Greasemonkey script that is installable? 2) Why does it happen that a Firefox installation in a user's account (i.e., the configuration which amongst other things contains Greasemonkey scripts) would all of a sudden lose them? Thanks. Boris.

Apache not liking directories outside of /var/www
by Boris Epstein 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, It appears that on my nice little CentOS 5.3 machines Apache only allows me to store content in directories which are under /var/www/ For instance, putting content in /var/www/test and defining the following alias: Alias /test /var/www/test then accessing it under http://hostname/test works great. Not copy that same content to /home/test, change the alias to: Alias /test /home/test and you get Error 403. Any idea why that would be? Never had this sort of trouble anywhere, including under CentOS 5.0 and 5.1 Thanks in advance for any and all help. Boris.

CentOS as a router
by James B. Byrne 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

I am setting up a small CentOS-5.3 host to act as a router. I have the device configured and working. What I am trying to accomplish now is configuring the firewall so as to protect both the router and the LAN. The host configuration has the WAN attached to eth0 (IP_ADDR = A) and the LAN attached to eth1 (IP_ADDR = B). The default gateway for B is A. The default gateway for B is B-1. There is a static route set for eth0 (A) to route traffic for B/24 to B. My understanding is that INCOMING packets, for the purposes of iptables, originate outside the host interfaces and that OUTGOING packets originate from, or are forwarded across, the host itself. So, as I understand things, traffic from network C/24 destined to B/24 comes IN eth0, is forwarded to eth1, and then goes OUT eth1. Similarly, traffic from B/24 to C/24 comes IN eth1 and goes OUT eth0. Is my understanding correct? I have set up four custom chains, one each for IN and OUT on each of the two eth i/f. Incoming packets for eth0 are sent to the WAN-IN-CHAIN, outgoing are sent to the WAN-OUT-CHAIN. In a similar fashion I have LAN-IN-CHAIN and LAN-OUT-CHAIN. My confusion arises from trying to setup an iptables filter on the WAN-In-CHAIN so that traffic arriving to eth0 cannot connect to either A or B, but can nonetheless pass through B to B/24. I cannot seem to discover an arrangement whereby I can do this and still maintain network connectivity to B/24 from a console session running on the router itself. Further, I wish to prevent any incoming connection from the WAN for any source address purporting to belong to the B/24 netblock (IP spoofing). Again, whatever arrangements that I try, whenever I enable such a rule I lose network connectivity from the console session to the LAN. I would appreciate some guidance and an explanation of what fundamental issue it is that I am missing. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

I'm updating my Desktop and curious as to the reason for the huge difference in size, between the oldest kernel, which will be removed, and the newest one that will be installed. Question: Did they remove a lot of things from the kernel or rewrite it much more efficiently? TIA.

Execution from ip-up.local
by Ed Warner 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi, I'm using Firestarter as my firewall. If I restart the network or my DSL line goes down, I have to manually restart Firestarter. I have sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh stop and then sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start in my ip-up.local file. I confirmed ip-up.local us being executed by placing an entry in the logs, but it appears firestarter is not or at least not correctly. Does anyone have a suggestion as how I could further troubleshoot this problem? Thanks for your help.

Current Infighting
by Cory Rainey 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Most often, I sit here and read the posts because I don't feel I'm qualified yet to be of help to anyone posting in this mailing list. I chose CentOS for my work file server because I had always used RedHat and Fedora and felt comfortable with it. I feel blessed to be part of this community and would be sadly disappointed if it were to self destruct. I appreciate the developers and would not have a clue how they do what they do. I have a great product with support when I need it from the forums and help there when I can as well. That's all I ask. I would gladly donate to the project if there was anything left after paying the bills. I'm sure my boss would as well but, he couldn't even give me a raise this year and is concerned about the future given the economy. Cory

Internet squid proxy for banner and add filtering and Nagios
by Dave 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hello, I've got a standalone internet server, it's a vps and i'd like to use it for proxy and add filtering. Since it's directly accessible from the internet i need to lock it down so only designated users can get to it, i'd prefer encrypted transmission of credentials. I've also wanted to get nagios going on this box so it can monitor other services and email/sms when they go down as in an unexpected reboot and don't come back up. That one i definitely want to secure the cgi interface. For both the squid and nagios only authorized users should be able to get to them, and only users on the machine itself, via ssh, ideally should be able to configure them. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Dave.

firewall question
by Jerry Geis 07 Aug '09

My firewall config is below... I am trying to figure out why another machine has access to port 5038 on my machine based on these firewall rules. I thought the reject at the bottom would take care of all other ports? It does not. I have restarted with "server iptables restart" and same thing. I can connect from another machine to my machine on port 5038. How do I prevent this?

so many arp caches why?

Hello, all. When I execute arp -a -n, there are lots of arp caches like below. Surely, I set netmask and Broadcast without problem and routing table also no problem.

syslog to remote server
by hce 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi, I set up the syslog.conf to log local0 and local1 to a remote log server: *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none;local1.none /var/log/messages local0.*;local1.* @192.168.1.2 The messages from local0 worked fine, all sent to the remote log server. But all messages from local1 were still displayed in /var/log/messages despite it has been set to local1.none. Of cause, no local1 messages were sending to the remote server. Could I be missing something here, or could be a bug in 2.6.18-53.el5 which I am running? Thank you. Kind Regards, Jupiter

Certificate system
by J.Witvliet＠MINDEF.NL 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi all, Can anybody inform me wether the "RedHat Certificate System" or actually a CentOS equivalent is available for CentOS. Just skimmed on a download site through the RPM's for 5.3 and I couldn't find it. According to their pressrelease, it the code should be gpl, allthough I can't find any rpm for RH, FC or Centos. It seems that this is one of the few CA-packages for large scale deployment of certificates. Only alternative AFAIK is OpenCA, which seems to be hardly maintained... ( binaries on their site are old, and source code yields lots of errors during build..) Defensie/CDC/IVENT/Research en Innovation Centrum Ing J.

BIND vulnerability
by Kenneth Porter 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Slashdot carried this story yesterday on a BIND vulnerability: <http://it.slashdot.org/story/09/07/29/0028231/New-DoS-Vulnerability-In-All-…> The upstream report: <https://www.isc.org/node/474> Red Hat's Bugzilla: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514292> >From what I'm reading, if one has an Internet-facing master for a zone, one is vulnerable, even if dynamic DNS isn't being used.

by Jerry Geis 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

On centos 5.3 x86_64 I can add "traceenable off" to httpd.conf and that works well. however this doesnt seem to work for centos 4.7 i686. Is there a similiar named option on 4.7? Jerry

Battery condition tools CentOS/Dell
by Kwan Lowe 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hello all: Does anyone know of a tool/project that will allow me to read the battery condition (not the charge status) on a Dell laptop battery? Under XP there is a utility that warns that the battery is still holding a charge but that the battery is degraded and should be replaced. Also, not sure if this is possible, but I would like to control how the laptop charges the battery. I tend to have the laptop plugged in most of the time and this constant charging state is apparently very bad for battery lifetime. So a charge/drain cycle is supposedly better. Thanks, Kwan

Open Letter to Lance Davis
by R P Herrold 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

I seem to be having network and email issues tonight; please excuse any duplication -- Russ herrold -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HTML dump on Thu Jul 30 00:30:33 EDT 2009 http://www.centos.org/ Open Letter to Lance Davis July 30, 2009 04:39 UTC This is an Open Letter to Lance Davis from fellow CentOS Developers It is regrettable that we are forced to send this letter but we are left with no other options. For some time now we have been attempting to resolve these problems: You seem to have crawled into a hole ... and this is not acceptable. You have long promised a statement of CentOS project funds; to this date this has not appeared. You hold sole control of the centos.org domain with no deputy; this is not proper. You have, it seems, sole 'Founders' rights in the IRC channels with no deputy ; this is not proper. When I (Russ) try to call the phone numbers for UK Linux, and for you individually, I get a telco intercept 'Lines are temporarily busy' for the last two weeks. Finally yesterday, a voicemail in your voice picked up, and I left a message urgently requesting a reply. Karanbir also reports calling and leaving messages without your reply. Please do not kill CentOS through your fear of shared management of the project. Clearly the project dies if all the developers walk away. Please contact me, or any other signer of this letter at once, to arrange for the required information to keep the project alive at the 'centos.org' domain. Sincerely, Russ Herrold Ralph Angenendt Karanbir Singh Jim Perrin Donavan Nelson Tim Verhoeven Tru Huynh Johnny Hughes - ---------------------------------- This document clearsigned with the key indicated and of record at the customary keyservers See: http://orcorc.blogspot.com/2008/08/gnupg-few-minutes-on-using-detached-and.… user: "R P Herrold <herrold(a)owlriver.com>" 1024-bit DSA key, ID 9B649644, created 2003-02-09 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFKcSQKMRh1QZtklkQRAqIFAJ96+UzMm7O0/JanMcYYqnX+UPJhMwCeOoL9 s83yIVHOmbcASgmb4hE8GRY= =2Yg2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Serious bug in OpenOffice.org Calc shipped with CentOS
by Niki Kovacs 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, Until now I've been a happy user of CentOS. Everything just works(tm), and I don't care if application versions are slightly outdated. Next week I have to give a series of classes for a company that recently made the switch to Linux. On schedule is a one-week course for Writer and Calc. And right now I discover that one crucial function of Calc, "fill series", doesn't work. Let's say I type "lundi" (monday) in one cell, so I can pull Calc's handle to fill other cells with the days of the week. Doing the same with "janvier" (january) does so with the names of the month. Well, this function is broken in OO shipped with CentOS. And I don't have the slightest clue as to why. Tried the same on a more recent version of OO in Ubuntu, and it works like a charm. Anyone has a solution to this? This seems like a major nuisance to me. Cheers, Niki

German Centos/Linux Group in Cologne/Bonn/Aachen
by Geoff Galitz 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

It seems there are a number of Centos users in the Cologne/Bonn/Aachen area of Germany. If there is not one already (and please let me know if there is!) I'd like to start a Linux User Group (including Centos) for this area. I'm way down in Blankenheim, though. Would someone like to volunteer a location? I envision alternating meetings between the three cities if possible... just to make it fair for everyone who has to travel. I'll even propose Friday August 14th for our first meeting. Any interest? -geoff --------------------------------- Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/

kvm in Centos 5.3
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 06 Aug '09

Hi All, Is KVM support in CentOS 5.3 complete? That is, can a CentOS 5.3 system host KVM VMs or does CentOS 5.3 only support being virtualized via KVM? I ask because I installed KVM on a CentOS 5.3 host, but I can't find a kvm module anywhere in /lib/modules/* (let alone the running kernel).

Autorun ability on cd?
by James B. Byrne 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

I have a little niggling situation that I would like to resolve programmatically. I use Git as my SCM and I have release branches which are sometimes patched. I find myself sometimes entering the working directory tree forgetting that I was last on a release branch and not on the master. What I would like to do is to have a script run every time that I enter a directory, check for .git, and if it finds it then simply do a git-branch for me so that which I am on is forcefully pointed out to me before I proceed to do something foolish. All I can come up with from searching wrt cd is details on why one cannot change the working directory of a running script and various kluges around this. I do not wish to change the pwd of the shell, I just want some way of testing for a certain file and running a specific command if it is found when I enter a working tree. If this requires testing every directory that I cd to then I can live with that. If instead one can put a script that runs only when one enters certain directories then I can live with that as well. Is there any way to do this? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

differences in DNS between boxes
by Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Please refer to my thread "excessive DNS slows httpd" in which I discuss a very slow response from my httpd server on my CentOS box after modifying httpd.config . I have "solved" the problem by blocking all DNS in iptables on my CentOS box. As it happens, this is not a problem in my present configuration, but it can hardly be considered a good solution. Given that the httpd configurations are essentially identical, it appears that there is a difference between my Feodora box and my CentOS box regarding how and when DNS is handled, at least when originated by httpd. Suggestions would be most welcome. Mike.

php-pdo
by Peter Peltonen 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

I wish to use PostgreSQL with PHP+PDO. I haven't use PDO before. I have the php-pdo package installed on my CentOS 4.7 server: # rpm -qa |grep pdo php-pdo-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10 Now when I try connect to the PostgeSQL db with this code: <?php print "PDO test<br />"; try { $db = new PDO("pgsql:host=192.168.0.180;port=5432;dbname=mydb;user=test;password=test"); } catch(PDOException $e) { print "Error : " . $e->getMessage() . "<br/>"; die(); } ?> I get no output in the browser, but I see this error in Apache log: PHP Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /var/www/html/pdotest.php on line 4 Well, it appears the PDO class is not provided by the php-pdo package: # rpm -ql php-pdo |less/etc/php.d/pdo.ini /etc/php.d/pdo_sqlite.ini /usr/lib/php/modules/pdo.so /usr/lib/php/modules/pdo_sqlite.so So, what package does provide it or have I misunderstood something?

[Q} how can O.S. predicate a disk going to failure??
by mcclnx mcc 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

we have CENTOS 4.X on DELL server and one one of virtual disk include 4 disk configure as REID5 (one more disk for hot spare). I saw /var/log/messages file have: Aug 4 06:27:02 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2094 Predictive Failure reported: Physical Disk 1:5 Controller 0, Connector 1 Aug 4 06:27:02 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2051 Physical disk degraded: Physical Disk 1:5 Controller 0, Connector 1 I use DELL OPMN to check and found "disk 1:5" still "online", but "predicate failure". I also use DELL OPMN to check virtual disk and it show "online", not "degrade". my questions are: 1. is this disk really "degrade" or not? 2. how O.S. can predicate disk going to failure? 3. do I need replace this disk now?

Strange XEN on CentOS HWaddr Address Issue
by Brett Serkez 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Ran into a strange issue with XEN on CentOS that I think is specific to CentOS, which is why I'm starting by posting to this list first, I'll post on the XEN list depending on responses. My sense is this issue has something to do with how CentOS handles network setup on first boot of the XEN kernel. - Installed a brand new CentOS 5.3 server with minimal packages. - Installed XEN, modified grub.conf to boot off of the XEN kernel and rebooted. - After reboot, network connectivity was lost. - Investigation concluded the issue was that the HWaddr address of the physical NIC matched the fabricated HWaddr that XEN uses for most of its adapters: FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. - Temporary resolution, I re-enabled the motherboard's NIC, rebooted, all seems to be working. I would like to get the NIC in question working as it is a GigaBit NIC, but it still has the HWaddr: FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF which conflicts with XEN. My understanding of the HWaddr is that the first portion is manufacturer assigned for uniqueness, I cannot image this NIC originally had this HWaddr, but I don't know what it originally was. Does anyone know if this value is read from the NIC on each boot, or is it stored in a file after the first boot? Is there someway to undo this change so the NIC returns to its original value or atleast a non-conflicting value? Has anyone else seen this behavior? Thank you in advance, Brett

firewall setup for nfs
by Jerry Geis 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Below is my firewall rules for iptables. everything is working fine except for NFS I cannot mount my drive. If I turn off iptables I can mount. Looking at this : http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-nfs.html Important In order for NFS to work with a default installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a firewall enabled, IPTables with the default TCP port 2049 must be configured. Without proper IPTables configuration, NFS does not function properly. The NFS initialization script and rpc.nfsd process now allow binding to any specified port during system start up. However, this can be error prone if the port is unavailable or conflicts with another daemon. I have port 2049 listed in my iptables. Is there a reason I cannot mount? thanks, Jerry ------------------------------ # Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 69 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 69 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 6540 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 6500 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 6510 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 6520 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 5060 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 5036 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 4569 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 1720 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 4520 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2000 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 2000 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 6544 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

excessive DNS slows httpd
by Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

My web server is a CentOS box thus: [root ~]# uname -a Linux mbrc21 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:03:43 EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux root ~]# rpm -q httpd httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.2 My development and standby is on a Fedora box thus: [root ~]# uname -a Linux mbrc32 2.6.23.17-88.fc7 #1 SMP Thu May 15 00:35:10 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [root@ ~]# rpm -q httpd httpd-2.2.8-1.fc7 They are close neighbors on my LAN. Now I recently revised my httpd.conf making it somewhat more complex and adding ssl for part of it. Running the same configuration on both boxes, I find that the Fedora box runs rapidly, while the CentOS box is very slow. Examining the situation with WireShark on both boxes I find that in responding to a simple GET, the CentOS box does a sequence of DNS queries to resolve the details of the location of the client IP address, whereas the Fedora box does no such thing. It ts these DNS queries that are causing the slow response. Now if I revert to the old configuration, there is no such problem and WireShark shows that there are no DNS queries. Advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated. Thanks, Mike.

Split dns issues

03 Aug '09

We have internal DNS servers that will override the A record for selected hosts. Example mail.pdinc.us will have a different internal ip than external. This has always been a fine way to handle it as the zone files are for that specific host, and there have never been subdomains before. Now we want to just override the MX records for pdinc.us without having to merge or manage all the records for every entry/subdoamin in the zone file for pdinc.us.

Perl Module Question
by Joseph L. Casale 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

To safely make Perl modules from CPAN in Solaris, I used this procedure: mkdir /opt/cpan chmod 777 /opt/cpan chown joe:101 /opt/cpan PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/opt/cpan export PERL5LIB /usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -e shell Also, ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm specifically had 'makepl_arg' => q[LIB=/opt/cpan PREFIX=/opt/cpan INSTALLMAN3DIR=/opt/cpan/man/man3], Does this make sense in CentOS as well when the modules just aren't available and using cpan2rpm has me chasing my tail endlessly on deps?

Grub fallback problem
by Matthias Blankenhaus 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi ! I am posting this again, since I still have the problem and have not been able to resolve this. Please, take a look and comment if you can. Thank you ! I am running CentOS 5 (core pkgs) / x86_64 using grub 0.97 and I am trying to configure a fallback between two partitions on my local disk, each installed with a CentOS image. The idea is to be able to install a new test OS image and fall back in case of a problem to the default image. This is a great grub feature ! Except it does not work for me :( grub.conf: #----------------------------------------------- default saved timeout=5 fallback 1 title NEW OS root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-new root=/dev/sda1 panic=5 initrd /boot/initrd-new.img savedefault fallback title DEFAULT OS root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-default root=/dev/sda2 initrd /boot/initrd-default.img savedefault #----------------------------------------------- Grub is installed on /dev/sda1, but not on /dev/sda2. /dev/sda1 is the primary boot partition. Both partitions are formatted with ext3. The problem is that the fallback does not work for me. For instance, if I specify on purpose a wrong root device with the NEW OS, e.g. root=/dev/sda3, then the kernel panics and reboots properly after 5 sec. However, grub then attempts to boot the NEW OS all over again. The same is true when I fully boot NEW OS with the right root device and then panic the kernel on purpose. Now, I have read somewhere that grub requires a default file to get the savedefault feature working. However, I could neither find the 'savedefault' command nor the grub default file under /boot/grub or anywhere else. One more thing, when I choose the boot title manually then grub seems to remember my last choice. In other words, grub is preserving my last choice from a previous boot. Am I doing something wrong ? Do I need to install something in addition to grub 0.97 ? I have done the RTFM / info thing. Your help is much appreciated, Matthias
