OT -- Inexpensive CentOS dedicated servers?
by Ryan Lane 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hey all, I am looking to get some input regarding inexpensive dedicated servers -- preferably with a hosting company the offers CentOS as an OS option. Does anybody have any input or recommendations? I'd really like to support a company that uses CentOS. And there are _so many options out there, is kind of overwhelming. Thanks, Ryan

HP switch and e1000 install
by Bill Wichser 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

There appears to be an issue with installation over an HP switch. Upon bootup, the network driver resets twice which somehow never allows the client to ask and therefore receive it's MAC address. This follows the RH bug : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110036 Installation via a directly attached cable to the head node works fine. I have emailed the Beowulf list in hopes that the problem was in some configuration of the switch but have recently come across this bug report and it appears that the symptoms are the same. Are there any plans to roll these patches into CentOS 3.3 (x86_64) in the near future? Thanks, Bill

Is 3.4 the same as 3.3 with all updates?
by WipeOut 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

I guess the subject says it all.. :) I am still new to Centos so I am not sure on the upgrade path and what is the best way to stay up to date.. Will updates for 3.3 still be added to the yum repo or do I need to upgrade/update my system to 3.4? Thanks

2.6 kernel on CentOS-3.3
by Tru Huynh 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

Hi I am happy to share a "proof of concept" for a centos-3.3 (not yet 3.4 ready) x86 and x86_64 distributions running either 2.4 and 2.6 linux kernels. This is not an official statement of the CentOS team! <include std disclaimer> don't complain if this howto eats your machine ;) It works for me and the src.rpm are provided. </include> <blurb> In order to have a 2.6 kernel on CentOS-3, one need to upgrade a few packages: at least module-init-tools, sysstat, initscripts... But in order to keep a 2.4 kernel happy, you must keep modutils around. I have repacked both modutils AND module-init-tools in the same package and it is providing both. mkinitrd needs to copy both insmod(module-init-tools) and insmod.old (modutils) into your initrd, since you can use either 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. the initscripts_26 is trying to get the initialisation for both series (there is much room for improvememt). A prebuild linux 2.6.10-ac8 kernel is there too, but you don't need it, since you can compile your own. I did not make a mandatory requirement for such a package. /etc/modprobe.conf is autogenerated, but some modules could have changed name, so have a look at it! all the files are here: ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum </blurb> <howto> 1) wget ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum.conf.mini use sudo or become root 2) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y update 3) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install initscripts_26 either install you own linux-2.6.x kernel or 4a) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux linux-doc 4b) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-smp 4c) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-source reboot </howto> references: - gmk has provided a one way 2.4 ->2.6 http://altruistic.lbl.gov/lbnl - http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5793467888.html - linux src.rpm is a steal for the cAos-2 + update to 2.6.10-ac8 Best regards, Tru -- Dr Tru Huynh | http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/Binfs/ mailto:tru@pasteur.fr | tel/fax +33 1 45 68 87 37/19 Institut Pasteur, 25-28 rue du Docteur Roux, 75724 Paris CEDEX 15 France

You don't need a local nntp server to read news, any nntp client can connect to any other nntp server, assuming that that server lets you connect. I'm not in favor of creating a CentOS topic under the usenet comp.sys hierarchy, I'm talking about running a private nntp server. For example, Novell runs their forums over nntp, and people configure their clients to connect to news.novell.com. When I was a student we used a local nntp server for class forums and project help. --Jim -- Jim Zajkowski OpenPGP 0x21135C3 http://www.jimz.net/pgp.asc System Administrator 8A9E 1DDF 944D 83C3 AEAB 8F74 8697 A823 2113 5C53 UM Life Sciences Institute _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)caosity.org http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CentOS and SuperMicro P8SCi motherboard
by Avtar Gill 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

There was recently a thread on this mailing list regarding SuperMicro hardware and CentOS. Here is one of the posts: http://lists.caosity.org/pipermail/centos/2005-January/001503.html My question is about the P8SCi motherboard, a fairly new SuperMicro model. The vendor's specifications page mentions Linux but I would rather hear from end users and their experiences. Here is a URL: http://supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/E7221/P8SCi.cfm I've found one post on a Debian mailing list which mentioned it but that person is using a 2.6 kernel: http://tinyurl.com/5jlry Is anyone here using CentOS (or any RHEL clone OS) on a box that contains one of these boards? Any issues that you have come across? Thanks, Avtar

That's funny because the thought about having "two places to search" occurred to me a couple of days ago when I read the following two posts: http://lists.caosity.org/pipermail/centos/2005-January/001496.html http://lists.caosity.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2005-January/000574.html I am new to Centos so correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming that developers and end users were initially corresponding with each other via mailing lists. In my opinion, redirecting some future discussions to the web forums while leaving others on the mailing lists seems counter productive. I'm not familiar with the CMS software that is being used at centos.org but is there any mailing list <-> web forum software available for it? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)caosity.org http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

NNTP versus web forums
by Jim Zajkowski 09 Jan '05

09 Jan '05

I see that a number of questions are being answered on the new web forum that is now part of the centos site. And the mailing lists So now there are two places to search, both the forum and the mailing list archives. This is just doubles the work required to follow along or find a solution. I know NNTP isn't sexy, it doesn't allow graphics in posts, it doesn't have person ratings or cute smileys, and it requires a modicum of competence to use, but it DOES do all of these: . Allows off-line reading and replying, with an appropriate reader. . Searching. . Reliable way of showing you which threads have new posts. -> I have not yet found a single web forum that did this well. . Orders of magnitude faster. . Easy to archive. . Small footprint, on-disk and over-network. . Synchronisation to multiple servers, reduced network use. . Bidirectional synchronisation to a mailing list. .

New 3ware 9500 Boot Disk Images for CentOS
by Seth Bardash 09 Jan '05

09 Jan '05

We have just posted new 3ware 9500 install boot driver disks based on the new 3ware 9.1.5.2 drivers. This install disk will ONLY work with Athlon and Opteron based systems running 32 bit CentOS 3.3 These images also contain built-in firmware upgrades for the 3ware 9500 SATA Raid controllers and provide increased RAID 5 performance. Also added to the download page is a version of 3DM2 disk management software for the 9500 series with a modified install script to allow automatic startup at boot time. This 3DM2 download is specific to CentOS but is architecture independent and should work with all installs. Thanks for the bandwidth.

NB, samba-3.0.7-1.3E.1 (the old version) was fine for me, its only this intermediate version that's hosed. Thanks for you on going efforts, -- Tom Seeley

2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp & megaraid2 problem
by Toni 31 Dec '04

31 Dec '04

I've found a problem with CentOS 3 latest kernel (2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp) and megaraid2 driver. Hardware: Dell PE1600SC with CERC ATA100 RAID controller The problem is somewhat similar, but not identical as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123289 After updating new glibc and kernel packages the new kernel don't boot. Boot fails to mount root fs with "Cannot open root device" message. I doublechecked that /etc/modules.conf is refering to megaraid2 as it should and then recreated initrd manually, no help. Older kernel version (2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp) boots just fine. As RHEL3 U4 release notes states: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/release-notes/a… The megaraid2 driver has been updated from v2.10.6 to 2.10.8.2-RH1 The new driver is scsi/megaraid2.o The older driver has been preserved as addon/megaraid_2106/megaraid_2106.o So I decided to try megaraid_2106, changed modules.conf, recreated initrd and... server booted with the new kernel! Could there be a problem with the latest megaraid2 driver (2.10.8.2-RH1)? Since I'm using CentOS and not RHEL, how/where I could report this problem? Best regards, ++Toni

Problems migrating from WBEL
by Jason Dixon 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

Hi folks: I've recently migrated one of my production servers (bad Jason!) from WBEL to CentOS 3.3 using Donavan's instructions in the FAQ (http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19) While it was as painless as the document suggests, I've run into problems with postgrey (a postfix greylisting daemon) on my server. Whenever I try to start postgrey, I get the following error (trimmed from maillog): ERROR: can't create DB environment: No such file or directory A little research led me to find the error was caused by a call to BerkeleyDB::Env->new() in postgrey. I can recreate it in a simple Perl one-liner: perl -e 'use BerkeleyDB; my $db = BerkeleyDB::Env->new() or die "blah";' This leads me to believe that something is wrong with db4, so I upgraded (--force) to the CentOS db4 package. Unfortunately, this had no effect. Speaking with Dag in IRC a couple nights back, he believes my only recourse may be to "pin" my apt sources and attempt to upgrade all of my WBEL-based packages to their CentOS counterparts. I would really like to avoid this; if necessary, I think I'd prefer to try and upgrade from the 3.3 ISO. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this? Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

I hate to disappoint anyone following this thread, but I think I'm going to drop the issue for now and re-migrate back to CentOS. I've found a working replacement for Postgrey in using sqlgrey (http://sqlgrey.sourceforge.net/) that appears to be working quite well (doesn't use db4). I'll continue to follow the issue with earnest, hopefully someone else will be able to offer some final insight. Perhaps I'll take the cause back up on a test system. -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

process crashing issue
by William Warren 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

I have an hlds server on a CentOS 3.3 box with all the latest updates. it is a p-4 1.4 ghz with 384 megs of pc-800 and no less than 250 megs free at all times. Hlds has been crashing on me since the latest updates. I am thinking it is hlds acting a fool but i wanted to post here as well just to make sure. Here is the error. ./hlds_run: line 423: 5450 Segmentation fault $HL_CMD Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

Best RH/FC version for dvd rip?
by Michael 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

Greetings: I'd like to bring up a CentOS-3.3 system to use for multi-media purposes. One of the packages I'm installing is dvdrip and all it's dependant packages (libdv, libdvdcss, libdvdread, avifile, & transcode). I'm hunting down the packages on freshrpms.net and I notice that there are packages available for FC1, FC2 & FC3. Question: Which FC version should I use for CentOS-3.3? Thanks, Michael

kernel panic on upgrade
by Brett Moss 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

Hello, I'm having some troubles with upgrades. I've followed the instructions from Owl River on moving from Redhat 8 to Redhat 9 and then to Centos. http://www.owlriver.com/projects/yum/rhl8-to-rhl9/ http://www.owlriver.com/tips/centos-31-ex-rhl-9/ The 8 to 9 works well on all machines, and the 9 to Centos went well for a laptop. The 9 to Centos fails with a kernel panic on two machines. This is right after the first part of the upgrade, upgrading rpm, kernel and kernel-smp. EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock mount: error 22 mounting ext3 I believe these are the lines from the machine(s). Both troubled servers are dual pentium II 450's with adaptec 19160 scsi cards, running a software raid 1 and booting from sda1 _not_ the mirror with grub. I have been able to boot back into the Redhat 9 kernel with no troubles. These are production boxes, so I'm a bit hesitant to do anything drastic, hence the email to the list. I'd sure appreciate any direction you all might be able to give. Thank you, Brett __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

update killed my x
by beau 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

X server, that is (as opposed to my ex-spouse...) Anyway, I was loving life with my rebuilt 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0custom041130a kernel, and then ran "yum update", which gave me a grub line for 2.4.21-20.0.1EL, but the 21-20 not only won't work with the old X settings, I can't get it to set up X at all. I tried running "yum update" from a console on this kernel, but yum can't find the conf file unless I tell it where it is with the -c switch, and even then it won't follow the symlink from /etc/yum.conf to /etc/centos-yum.conf. Once I supply the proper switch and path then it starts the update and chokes on the GPG keys for php-mysql. As directed in the error message I've tried running yum clean and also tried removing the /var/.../php-mysql... file indicated, to no avail. That said, all helpers appreciated. -- Robert Thomas ("beau") Hayes Link Open your heart, pray for peace, preach healing (c)2004ISR http://www.semanticrestructuring.com/

RAID Card for CentOS 3 compatibility
by CN Buy 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

Hi everybody, I need to setup a couple of new servers with RAID 1 & another with RAID 5, witch card will have built in support (no need for drivers). It can be for ATA or SATA drives (any preference on ATA or SATA ?). I'm looking for a PCI card , or a motherboard with built in card. I been looking at the : 1. "3ware 64-bit PCI to SATA RAID Controller Card, Model "Escalade 8006-2LP", can I plug this card in on a 32 bits PCI slot or it need to be a 64 bit one. 2. 3Ware 7006-2 2 Port ATA RAID 3. Also I came across this one (less pricy than the 3ware ) LSI PCI to ATA RAID Controller Card, Model "MegaRAID ATA 133-2" Finally I got a Tyan server that has a built in Raid card, (RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20276) and the drivers are for the RH 7,8. So when I run the drivers it tells me that is not compatible. Any recommendation on how to make it work ? I found this on the net : (will this work for the centos 3) TIA Carlos If you have a Promise PDC 20276 IDE Controller (e.g. on board the Asus A7V333 mainboard) and are wondering, why it doesn't work anymore with kernel version 2.4.21 (though it had worked with 2.4.20): Try recompiling your kernel not only with "PROMISE PDC202{68|69|70|71|75|76|77} support" but also with "Special FastTrak Feature" (CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y) enabled. /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/.config: [...] CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW=y CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX=y [...] Oh, and, BTW: There finally are official Linux drivers from Promise (at least for some RedHat etc. versions).
