Thanks for your reply Robin, > It looks like you switch is configured to use tagged vlans. I must use tagged vlans. I configured the switch as your example. > Then add the following config file. >/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0.201 >DEVICE=bond0.201 I cannot bring this interface up. If you do ifconfig it only shows bond0, eth0 & eth1. Since bond0.201 does not come up, the system has no default gateway. Any clue? Nassri

Is it possible compile an a new x86_64 kernel on an i686 CentOS system? When I tried to do so with this command rpmbuild -ba --target x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec I got the following error: make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 51 make: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40130 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40130 (%build) Isn't gcc able to do cross compile?

Booting off and installing from USB cdrom drive
by Taco Scargo 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hi all, I am trying to install CentOS from an external USB cdrom drive but am experiencing that anaconda does not recognize the device as cdrom device. Anyone have any experience with this and how to get it working ? After loading the appropriate usb-storage drivers the device is recognized and registered as /dev/sr0, but apparently that device is not checked or considered a cdrom device. Thanks, Taco

Kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp
by Peter Kitchener 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Has anyone had any issues with this latest kernel? We rebooted our servers into this new kernel yesturday and our internet conectivity broke. I fiddled arround with some of the setting to get our machines talking to the net again with no success. It seems that we are able to talk to local hosts on our network, but anything external is broken. I gave up in the end and resorted to the previous kernel. Has anyone experienced the same sort of problem? Regards, Peter

RE: [CentOS] RE: Broadcom NIC Binding under Centos 4.2
by ABOKHALAF, Nassri Abdellatif 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Hello all, again, Still stocked with this NIC binding problem. With Robin's conf both nics work fine in the active-backup config (thanks Robin !) I wanted to go a little bit further & bind both interfaces in an active-active conf. James pointed out the Documentation/networking/bonding.txt. (thanks James!) It states that there is a HA-mode where both NIC'S can work in active-active mode. I've configured the switch to operate in trunk mode for my VLAN and configured my CENTOS box to aggregate the links, but cannot manage to ping my gateway. All interfaces show the same mac addr what is good but, arp -a shows nothing ! Question: Documentation does not say how or if you have to configure de bonding mode for HA in /etc/modprobe.conf. From my point of view it should be mode=6 (balance-alb), but since it does not work I must be wrong! Or should it be left empty ? Any clues ? Could it be the switch ? Thanks, Nassri My conf: Switch - Cisco 3750 interface GigabitEthernet1/0/19 description DNS1 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 201 switchport mode trunk end ! interface GigabitEthernet1/0/18 description DNS2 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 201 switchport mode trunk end CENTOS BOX /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 & ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=ethx BOOTPROTO=static TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes SLAVE=yes MASTER=bond0 etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 DEVICE=bond0 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.10.4.27 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 /etc/modprobe.conf alias bond0 bonding options bonding miimon=100 alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 tg3 < /etc/sysconfig/network > NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=dns GATEWAY=10.192.32.254 GATEWAYDEV=bond0 > I have not had time to test this, but the documentation > states that it can be done with some of the other mode=x > numbers, where the mode number represents different types of > bonding ie. round robin, active/standby, etc.. >

System hangs silently

I have a total of 20 CentOS 4.1 systems running on fairly new hardware. About 6 of them are experiencing strange hangs without any indication -- nothing in /var/log/messages nor on the console -- sometime within 10-30 minutes after a reboot. The systems still responds to ping but you can't ssh to it. At the console, you could type "root" at the user prompt but it hangs immediately after hitting enter. Memory scan of all systems show no error. Any idea how to troubleshoot this problem. The system's not responsive to do any troubleshooting and nothing abnormal is in the log.

4.2 Lockup on Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy Econel 200
by CM 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

Hello everybody, I'm looking for some insights on reproductible lockups with this server so please bear the long description that follows: Installed the 4.0 Centos than yum updated it so it results a 4.2 Centos fully updated. During the instalation and update there were no cold boots. That's important because if (updated Centos or not) you cold boot the server it stucks at the "configuring hardware ... storage" step. It does not matter the kernel version but if i choose the SMP kernels it freezes just a little later on "configuring hardware ... audio" step.It freezes at the same spot without kernel panicking. I altered the rc.sysinit file so that at the configuring hardware step it does not load any modules. It passes (forcefully) the configuring hardware step but it freezes at the next "Configuring kernel parameters" step. There are no errors in the log as the k(logd) is not started at that point. For a change, i installed a FC2 and it's stable. However i want that Centos running! Please give me some advice. CM lspci output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp.

DHCP without network access
by Maciej Żenczykowski 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

Hi, I've got a box with CentOS 4.2 x86_64 which had no DHCP access for a few hours, now I can't ping it (I'm pretty sure the box is still up). I expect the DHCP lease has timed out and the box has lost it's IP, I was expecting it to reacquire it once the DHCP came back up (configuration problem) - but no luck. Is this a known problem? Any solution/workaround? (for now or for the future...) Cheers, MaZe.

gdm won't start
by Josh Kelley 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

I'm trying to set up a new CentOS 4.2 desktop, and gdm refuses to start. It blanks the screen, displays the swirling blue circle mouse cursor that appears to be an hourglass equivalent, then drops back to the console window. It repeats this several times then displays the following error: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds, it is likely that something bad is going on. I will wait for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0. xdm works, and I can access X Windows by running startx. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? It's a fresh install with a few site-specific customizations, but I don't think that I've done anything that would intefere with gdm. It is a relatively minimal install, so it's possible that I'm missing some needed package. Thanks. Josh Kelley

3ware disk failure -> hang
by Joshua Baker-LePain 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

I've got an i386 server running centos 4.2 with 3 3ware controllers in it -- an 8006-2 for the system disks and 2 7500-8s. On the 7500s, I'm running an all software RAID50. This morning I came in to find the system hung. Turns out a disk went overnight on one of the 7500s, and rather than a graceful failover I got this: Jan 6 01:03:58 $SERVER kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi2: Command failed: status = 0xc7,flags = 0x40, unit #3.

unconfig'ing a machine
by Mark Belanger 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

The sys-unconfig script does not really work as advertised. For one thing it doesn't change the hostname. Is there an documentation about how to do the following: - Change the hostname, IP, networking etc for a currently networked machine - Change the hostname, IP, networking etc for a currently non-networked machine - Turn a networked machine into a non-networked machine. On a higher level - I'm looking for a turnkey way to send a box to someone, and have them set up the host and networking info. tia, -Mark

yum groupinstall "MySQL Database"

17 Jan '06

Hi all, I have a question related to yum groupinstall. I just tried a: yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" I expected that I would end up with a MySQL Database server, but it installed a bunch of .rpms *except* mysql-server. No big deal, I'm just curious if it was intended this way or not, that's all. Thank you and, Have a nice evening everyone, Alex

Netfilter conntrack problem...
by Maciej Żenczykowski 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hi folks, I have the following in my firewall (condensed version) [CentOS 4.2: 2.6.9-11.EL.i686 kernel]: INPUT: --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset -j REJECT OUTPUT: ACCEPT The connection is over a wireless link so packets _do_ get dropped even though throughput is around 100-400 kB/s (depending on atmospheric conditions, etc.) Now I've noticed that sometimes connections are broken, I've narrowed the problem down to _this_ firewall (as in it's not the only one, but I'm pretty sure that it's at fault here...) Tcpdumping a "ssh somewhere cat /dev/zero > /dev/null" session on the firewall to an external host (a few hops away, reliable links, except for the single wireless link) on a prematurely terminated connection reveals the following (near the very end): # tcpdump -i eth1 host $TARGET -n -nn SRC=$FIREWALL:38945 DST=$TARGET:22 (all stream counts (acks) where 1728xxxxx so 1728 has been replaced with nil to gain on readability...) 034006 IP SRC > DST: . ack 05611 win 23688 <nop,nop,timestamp 603026606 838569311,nop,nop,sack sack 3 {11403:12851}{07059:09955} 068320 IP DST > SRC: . 12851:14299(1448) ack 85975 win 8576 <nop,nop,timestamp 838569322 603026606> 068421 IP SRC > DST: . ack 05611 win 23688 <nop,nop,timestamp 603026641 838569311,nop,nop,sack sack 3 {11403:14299}{07059:09955} 101781 IP DST > SRC: P 14299:15747(1448) ack 85975 win 8576 <nop,nop,timestamp 838569325 603026641> 101879 IP SRC > DST: . ack 05611 win 23688 <nop,nop,timestamp 603026674 838569311,nop,nop,sack sack 2 {11403:18643}{07059:09955} 133870 IP DST > SRC: . 18643:20091(1448) ack 85975 win 8576 <nop,nop,timestamp 838569328 603026674> 133969 IP SRC > DST: . ack 05611 win 23688 <nop,nop,timestamp 603026706 838569311,nop,nop,sack sack 2 {11403:20091}{07059:09955} 164262 IP DST > SRC: . 20091:21539(1448) ack 85975 win 8576 <nop,nop,timestamp 838569332 603026706> 164358 IP SRC > DST: . ack 05611 win 23688 <nop,nop,timestamp 603026737 838569311,nop,nop,sack sack 2 {11403:21539}{07059:09955} 198287 IP DST > SRC: . 21539:22987(1448) ack 85975 win 8576 <nop,nop,timestamp 838569335 603026737> 198386 IP SRC > DST: . ack 05611 win 23688 <nop,nop,timestamp 603026771 838569311,nop,nop,sack sack 2 {11403:22987}{07059:09955} 230168 IP DST > SRC: . 22987:24435(1448) ack 85975 win 8576 <nop,nop,timestamp 838569338 603026771> 230285 IP SRC > DST: . ack 05611 win 23688 <nop,nop,timestamp 603026803 838569311,nop,nop,sack sack 2 {11403:24435}{07059:09955} 252786 IP DST > SRC: . 05611:07059(1448) ack 85975 win 8576 <nop,nop,timestamp 838569340 603026771> 252857 IP SRC > DST: R 1475625677:1475625677(0) win 0 As far as I can tell, the second to last packet is perfectly valid - it is a valid retransmit of a missing/dropped piece. For some reason it results in a reset being sent from the tcp-reset rule (counter increases). Thus it would seem the packet is not matching the ESTABLISHED rule. Any ideas? Is this a bug? Has this been fixed in a/the newer kernel (I've got 156 days of uptime and a lot of junk on the box so I don't really want to reset it... :( ) Is the firewall configuration above correct - ie. is that a valid spot to generate TCP Resets? I doubt DROP'ing the packets will help since it'll just cause a stall, with future retransmits not getting through due to not matching as ESTABLISHED anyway... Cheers, MaZe.

vsftpd bug "or" feature ?
by Robert Hanson 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

greetings today i was expanding my knowledge of vsftpd on a low traffic CentOS 4 production environment server i have fyi, i was working on learning to setup a chroot environment by the simple editing of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf so, as i normally do when i start making changes i did this cd /etc/vsftpd/ cp -a vsftpd.conf bak-vsftpd.conf then i made the edits in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf that i needed to make for testing a chroot env for some users and saved my work then i did this service vsftpd stop service vsftpd start and to my amazement when i did a ps ax that i saw the vsftpd process had taken bak-vsftpd.conf as it's default config file and looked something like this 8890 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/bak-vsftpd.conf questions... known issue? can anyone duplicate? is it a bug?????? or a feature??? ;-> thanks and kind regards, - rh -- Robert Hanson - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

grub errors after fresh install, partiions with md and lvm
by Keith Morse 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

I've done a fresh install on a new system with 2 SATA drives, Seagate 80GB each. This is the first time I've done an installation where I used software raid to provide mirroring capability to the system. The raid is level 1 for mirroring. I used the installation documention on RedHat's enterprise site to go thru the installation/configuration for this. I didn't receive any errors during the installation, but after the system boots grub issues the following messages: ================================================================================ grub loading stage1.5. Error 15 ================================================================================ Using the anaconda graphical installer, I've partitioned the drives as follows: /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sda1 100mb /dev/md0 /boot /dev/sda2 76215mb /dev/md1 LVM VolGroup00 /dev/sdb1 100mb /dev/md0 /boot /dev/sdb2 76215mb /dev/md1 LVM VolGroup00 VolGroup00 76192mb LogVol00 swap 2048mb LogVol01 /root ext3 20480mb LogVol02 /home ext3 20480mb During my research into the error above, it appears as though grub cannot find the /boot partition to continue loading the subsequent stages. I'm hoping to find some general help from the list if possible. A couple of questions come to mind. Can grub boot off of a raid defined partition? If yes, what magic incantations would be appropriate? If no, should I just revert to a bare ext3 partition and don't implement raid on /boot? Relavant parts of /boot/grub/grub.conf are: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/spalsh.xmp.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS-4 i386 (2.6.9-22.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-22.EL.img And this is CentOS 4.2.

clamscan --exclude problems
by rado 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

this is strange to me but maybe not to y'all I use clamscan --exclude in other places but this certain one will not work... let me put up my fstab before I explain k: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 LABEL=/rbbu /rbbu ext3 defaults 1 2 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 kk...the line: LABEL=/rbbu /rbbu is hdc. it's a 250gb drive just to act as a backup server for various machines. I want to clamscan the whole system excluding /rbbu clamscan --exclude=/rbbu / just a very basic line...of course there is much more to the real one but this is the problem child. considering the LABEL=/rbbu and /rbbu being the mount point ....I believe this might be where the problem lies but I'm not sure. If I must, I could rename the mount point to something else and now thinking bout it, would not cause that many problems...just a lot of tweaking in lots of scripts which I would rather not but if y'all feel that's the fix then it will be done! thx, John Rose

correct driver for X
by Jerry Geis 17 Jan '06

I found the following page for the k8m800 motherboard. Everything I have found from via is sub par to say the least. It has a via_drv.o file that "seems" to do something. (cant see as I'm home). hope this helps someone else... http://leenooks.com/233 jerry ------ VIA's support for their Unichrome chipsets on Linux is a little lacking. I got a system with one of these. It even had Linspire preinstalled, and running in vesa mode. There's a project for this, but from reading their site it looks they don't have the Unichrome Pro working well yet. http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/ You might try buying one in this case. Even most of the cheapest should give a significant improvement, provided that they have 3d support and working Linux drivers.

Hi All, I went and bought a new headset, as I thought the old one,(almost 5yrs old), was no good. But, when trying to skype, I still can't be heard. I know the sound card worked before, although, it has been some time, since I mic'd anything. Anyone got any ideas, other than a possible dud sound card(socket)? Cheers. Mark Sargent.

4.2 Kernel panic on rmmod ip_gre...

$ uname -a Linux xxx 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Oct 27 13:14:25 CDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ lsmod | grep "[^0-9]0" | grepbyhand ip_gre 16865 0 3c59x 41213 0 tg3 85061 0 It is very likely an error that these have usage counts of 0. (the interfaces are very much up, and a GRE tunnel is configured) Seeing as the same thing happens with bcm5700 modules from HP it's likely this is not actually a module problem but a more basic networking logic fault. I can't test whether removing tg3/3c59x will result in a panic, but removing the ip_gre module broke the system (praise ilo...) - Not posting a trace since it's obvious why it broke... Comments? Cheers, MaZe
