Kickstart
by Gerald Waugh 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Does someone have an example mkisofs command with arguments to create a CD from the files on the CentOS CD? Since we are building servers, all the data is on CentOS4 CD1. I plan to modify it to include a kickstart file and remove some of the things on there that I don't need. I use something like this on the Cobalt Networks servers, need mods to work on CentOS. (following on one line) mkisofs -P Name -b boot/elterito.img -c boot/boot.catalog -R -I -L -o path-to-iso/name.iso . Now I am sure the boot references need to change. TIA for help ;) Gerald

Antw: [CentOS] CentOS and HP Drivers
by Arthur MEßNER 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

We are using the Hp-Agents continuously on our Servers. The latest Version with centos-3.3 was no Problem. Mainly it depends on the used kernel Versions, because the raid driver modules are not for vanilla kernels, only for official Kernels from Redhat, Suse ... The only thing you have to do, is to fake the /etc/redhat-release, because the installer looks for supported Linux Versions. After Installation you can view your Configuration via firefox. http://localhost:2301 also you will see alot new processes starting. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ing.

>Is there any way of finding out what is accessing the disk? Not only it >shortens battery life, it is annoying while working in a quiet room. When I had problems with irritating disk noises on a laptop it turned out that the problem wasn't so much disk access as an over-aggressive power management setting. hdparm -I /dev/hda | grep 'power management' should tell you the current setting. The default value seems to be 128, but what exactly that means depends on your hard disk. I found that changing the setting to 200 was a big improvement: hdparm -B 200 /dev/hda You can make the change permanent by editing /etc/sysconfig/harddisks. Ron

Re: [Centos] rpm corruption
by John Newbigin 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

In answer to my own question, this is what I have done which appears to fix the problem: 1. Edit /usr/lib/rpm/macros and change the line %__dbi_rebuild nofsync !log !txn !cdb to %__dbi_rebuild nofsync !log !txn !cdb !thread 2. export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 3. rpm --rebuilddb 4. unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 5. Edit /usr/lib/rpm/macros back to the original 6. rpm --rebuilddb So far this fixes the problems I have been having. I assume it is possible to override the macro setting on the rpm command line so no editing is required and a simple script can be run on all my machines. John.

swiotlb causing panics on 8gig ia32e systems running Centos 3.4 x86_64
by James Olin Oden 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Hi All, I have several ia32e systems with 8 gig that panic on install and first boot. The panic is arch/x86_64/swiotlb.c (working from memory so I might be a bit off) and its in the routine that I think is trying to allocate another chunk of memory for the "Software I/O Translation Buffer". I am guessing it needs to allocate contiguous chunks of memory and that is why it fails on the realloc. Anyway, on install the only way I can get the install to work is to set "mem=512" or something way below 8Gig. Whereas once the machine is loaded I can get it to boot by without a panic by passing the kernel arg swiotlb set to some rather larger value like 16384. Doing this with varying values during install yields either the same panic or causes a failure of the kernel to detect the cdrom device due to some "resource conflict", which why on a hunch a fellow engineer tried the mem option. Anyway, we can live with this work around if we have to, but I was wondering a couple of things: - Is there any metric to choose a proper value for ioswtbl? - Since its failing to do the re-alloc in the boot kernel am I likely to see this occur on the installed kernel at some inopportune moment? - If there is such a metric does anyone have any ideas on how it might could be grafted into the kernel itself in such a way that all interested parties would be OK with such a patch? And of course if anyone else has seen this, I would be interested in their knowledge on the issue. Just so you know I familiar with this enough to know that ia32e (nocona/lindhurst 64 bit one off copy of AMD 64 bit processors) does not contain an IOMMU (unlike the AMD processor) and thus the kernel developers had to do a serious hack creating this bounce buffer like thing. Which is all to say I understand why its there, and that on the ia32e systems I have to live with it, I just want it to be stable or find some way to make it so. Thanks...james

Centos-4 Kernel pannic
by Bob Pierce 13 Apr '05

Hi all, We are running a new Centos-4 server, and it has kernel panicked on us 4 times in the last month. After the first kernel panic we hooked up a serial console to the server and captured the output in order to have a record of what happens. I've included the error messages from the last time it locked up... but it doesn't really mean much to me. Anybody have any ideas what might be causing this server lock up?

Firefox problems
by James B. Byrne 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

Since upgrading to FireFox 1.0.2 I have noticed a large number of problems connecting to web sites that are reached without difficulty using MS-IE 6. The symptom is a message box that declares that the "The Document Contains No Data" which, ironically enough, is the very error I get when trying to reach http://www.google.ca/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://kb.mozillazine.org/Do cument_contains_no_data&e=10167 using Firefox. I ended up getting it in MS-IE. Is it just me or did the last release of Firefox significantly degrade its reliability. When I close Firefox with multiple tabs I now nearly always get an error that attempts to mail itself off to Mozilla. After several dozen of these I just close them now. I have removed and re-installed Firefox several times without relief. I have these same problems on at least two different machines that I use, one running Win2Kpro and the other Win XPpro. I am not looking for a fix here, but I was wondering if anyone had further information on the subject that they are willing to share.

Upgrading to 2.6.11
by Jerry Geis 11 Apr '05

What would be the proper steps to upgrade to 2.6.11 on centos 4.0 This is what I think... tar -zxvf linux-2.6.11.6.bz2 cd linux-2.6.11.6 make oldconfig - enter for all choies presented vi .config - change 8250_NR_UARTS to 36 to support 4 - 8 port rs232 cards make bzImage make modules_install mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11.6 2.6.1.6 cp -f arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinux-2.6.11.6 edit /etc/grub.conf Is this the correct procedure?

trouble booting the system with I2O hardware RAID
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

I've just made (yet another) CentOS 4 installation. The install process seems to go fine, however the machine doesn't wan't to boot. The system in question has one of I2O Adaptec RAID controllers. I've configured LVM with one volume group and several volumes. If I boot into the rescue mode, all looks fine and dandy. Anaconda finds the installation, and I can access all volumes. However, when doing "real" boot, it gets into trouble. All required modules are loaded from initrd image (as far as I can tell). The I2O modules are able to locate the RAID devices (I see all partitions reported: /dev/i2o/hda1 (unused), /dev/i2o/hdb1 (/boot), and /dev/i2o/hdb2 (rest of the system under LVM). The only thing different from rescue mode is that i2o/hda and i2o/hdb are reversed (this is strange, but it shouldn't affect things since /boot partition has a label "/boot", and all the rest is under LVM, so everything should be device name independent). I have no idea why i2o device drivers behave differently when loaded from initrd image during boot, and by Anaconda during installation. The last couple of messages printed on the screen are: Creating root device Mounting root file system kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Looking at the "init" script from initrd image, this correspond to: echo Mounting root filesystem mount -o defaults --ro -t ext3 /dev/root /sysroot mount -t tmpfs --bind /dev /sysroot/dev echo Switching to new root switchroot /sysroot umount /initrd/dev Which would indicate that mount of root file system went OK, but then it failed to mount /dev filesystem (basically, move already mounted /dev to /sysroot/dev). After the switchroot /sysroot, old /dev mount point become invalid (non-accessible), the new /dev mount point was not there and of course everything broke from that point on. I've Googled around a bit, and the only relevant thing Google gave me was this French page. There were couple of more pages with similar but different problem (modules failing to load and/or detect disk drives, which is not the case here, all modules were loaded correctly as witnessed by successfull LVM initialization and successfull root file system mount). http://www.fedora-france.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3838&foru… I do live in Canada, but don't speak a word of French (shame on me, but in my defense it is on my todo list). However I did managed to figure out somebody suggested going with Grub instead of LILO. IMO, Grub or LILO shouldn't make any difference, since the error is happening way after boot loader did its job. Anyhow, just for fun, I reinstalled the system from scratch, this time choosing Grub as boot loader of choice to be installed into MBR. However, for whatever reason, Anaconda did not install Grub (dd & less showed no signs of Grub in MBR). Boot into the rescue, chroot, grub-install, OK now I have Grub in MBR. But again, no joy. Grub doesn't even start and system simply hangs in mid-air. No errors printed, no anything. Currently, I'm kind of stuck and idea-less. The system did worked perfectly in the past with Red Hat 7.3 (and LILO as boot loader), and exactly the same hardware RAID configuration (two volumes, one for system, one for data). Any help, hint, etc would be greatly appriciated. -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic(a)pbl.ca> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7

CentOS Firewall can handle multi IP?
by Franki 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Hi guys, Just a quick question. Can RHEL4/CentOS built in firewall handle multiple IP's bound to one interface? For example on one of my boxes out there I have 64 IP's bound to an interface used in virtual hosting. I searched long and hard for a easy and useable solution without much success. I ended up rolling my own, but it's a hack. Was wondering if CentOS has any answers for me in that regard. rgds Franki

Media check problems
by Kenneth Kalmer 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Dear community I've just noticed that the CentOS 4.0 ISO's I downloaded from ftp.sunsite.org.uk fails the media check on installation. All four fail. The md5 checks pass and I've done 5 full installations from the set of failed cd's and no problems what so ever. I never bothered to do the media check untill a friend asked me what it does... The installation works, wonder what the problem could be? Any suggestions or should I provide more information to help fix this if it might be a bug?

MailScanner SPAM Forward & Postfix Problem
by Kennedy Clark 09 Apr '05

09 Apr '05

First, thanks to the CentOS folks for creating such as awesome distro! Second, thanks to all for contributing to such an great mailling list! I installed MailScanner/SpamAssassin/ClamAV last week based on the excellent threads that have recently discussed the subject. For folks who missed it, I used Johnny's wonderful guide at http://www.hughesjr.com/content/category/1/14/30/Guides (see Part 4). I'm using CentOS 3.4. On the MTA side, I am using Postfix with a virtual alias table. I want to have MailScanner use the "forward" "Spam Actions" option to put all spam in a central email account (it's a local account on the same server). I can email to this central spam account no problem (both locally and from outside accounts such as gmail). The "Spam Actions = forward blah(a)blah.com" works if blah(a)blah.com is an account on a separate system (such as this account on gmail). However, no matter what I do, I cannot make it work with a local account -- I always get the following postfix error in /var/log/maillog: ..., status=bounced (user unknown in virtual alias table). I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I'm using a virtual alias table, but I don't want to get rid of that (even for testing purposes) because it's obviously being used for live email. :-) I know this might be more of a Postfix or MailScanner question, but I thought I would start here. Many thanks for any assistance! Kennedy

Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" on 00:00

I have Centos 3.3 installed on a vmware virtual machine on a AMD Opteron processor. I upgraded the kernel to version 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL, and now when I boot the system I get the following message: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 The server boots fine with kernel-2.4.21-20. I've change the root=LABEL=/ to use the /dev/sda2, and it did not work. Does anyone has any ideas what causes the system not to boot? Thanks. Roberto DaSilva

grub/raid1 on centos4
by Les Mikesell 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

With Centos3, fedora1/2 I have been able to put /boot on a RAID1 partition and have it boot normally. Unlike earlier versions that used lilo as the default boot loader, these did not make the 2nd drive bootable but at least I was fairly confident that if the first drive failed I could use the install CD in rescue mode to fix up the 2nd one and go on. However, Centos4 won't boot at all with a similar install attempt and running grub-install in rescue mode gives an error about not being able to find the bios drives. Is there a howto somewhere to work around this problem? -- Les Mikesell les(a)futuresource.com

Automatic disk check
by centos.org_list＠000a.com 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

You know how if you do an improper shutdown and then boot up, the server prompts you to run a file system check if you press "Y" within 5 seconds? Well, this is great but sometimes not practical in remote access situations when we call our datacenter to say reboot a hang server and they have no monitor or keyboard hooked up to the system. Is there a way to have the system forced to automatically fo the filesystem check every time it boots up, if there's a need for it, ie: WITHOUT hitting "Y"? I couldn't find the answer to this one in docs or FAQs. If I missed it, a simple pointer to the source would be of great help. Thank you, Chris

OpenGroupware.org Tests
by Pedro Silva 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

After the initial question on this list about OGO and CentOS 4, here's what I've done. I installed CentOS 4 on a qemu image and setup a yum repo pointing to download.opengroupware.org/packages/fedora-core3/releases/ . I did this based on the assumption that FC3 packages work on RHEL4/CentOS4. yum install ogoall With this command, OGO user and database was created (Postgresql was detected and used), database structure was uploaded to pgsql. So far so good, http://localhost/OpenGroupware returns a 404. service httpd restart Same url, Apache Server Internal Error. Ok, what's wrong? system-config-services, the ogoall installation creates 4 new services, enables them as default but DOESN'T start them. Upon starting those 4 services, http://localhost/OpenGroupware worked sucessfully, straight to OGO Administration. I really didn't test it much, but, just by browsing some links on it, OGO seems to be working. Best regards, Pedro

Pedro, I have installed OGO on several different Linux versions as part of an evaulation. I would suggest starting with the Fedora RPMs available at: http://download.opengroupware.org/packages/fedora-core2/releases/ I have not looked at OGO since Dec/Jan, but the directions for installation are perhaps the worst I have ever seen. Hopelessly outdated & supersceded directions were prominenet and current directions buried away. By starting with the Fedora RPM you can be pretty confident you haven't missed something on the dge of the documentation. We ended up going with eGroupWare regards Dave www.HornfordAssociates.com

Problems joining Samba toa w2000 AD PDC
by Mário Gamito 07 Apr '05

Hi, I have this (Linux) Samba file server, that indeed is a client of a Windows 2000 Server PDC, using Active Directory. I am the Samba machine admin, but not the Windows one. I have to join the Samba machine to the PDC on the 2000 server. I ask the Windows 2000 server admin to come to my Samba machine and insert his login and password to join my machine, but i always get the same error (after my signature, along with other relevant data). I tried: # net ads join -Uzbr(a)dte.ua.pt What could be causing the error ? Another question.: In the moment of joining the Samba machine to the PDC on the Windows 2000 Server, the Samba daemons must be up or down (i've read contraditory things about this issue) ?

Message Board Recommendations...
by Scott Heisler 07 Apr '05

I've been trying several message board software (PHPBB, etc) and haven't found one that's as feature rich as I'd like. I used to run Ikonboard but have had some issues with that. Does anyone have a great recommendation for an awesome message board with loads of features and is open-source (free)? Thanks Scott

OpenGroupware.Org

Hi all! I'm thinking on installing OGO on CentOS 4. I've been to download.opengroupware.org but I didn't find any CentOS/RHEL 4 specific rpm packages. I'm wondering, since RHEL4/CentOS4 is based on Fedora Core 3, can I use these packages safely? Has anyone ever tried installing OGO on CentOS 4? Has anyone ever used ogoall-...rpm ? Thankx in advance. Best regards, Pedro Silva
