Error: when updating the latestt kernel 2.6.34 in centos 5.5
by 886886 backyes 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi, I encounter a error when installing the latest kernel 2.6.34 in centos. Steps: 1. download source code. 2.tar -xvf 2.6.34.tar.gz 3.use the .config file of current system in /boot directory. 4.make ,make modules_install, make install, 5.reboot. 6.error:: accur. Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while ... Activating logical volumes Volume group "VolGroup00" not found Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem"/dev/root" setting up other filesystems. ... After comparing the latest initrd.img and the current system initrd.img . The differnce below: the currenet system has more modules before excuting the LVM operations. these modules is dm-mem-cache.ko , dm-message.ko and dm-raid45.ko which depends the others. I know the centos 5.5 ' s kernel is 2.6.18. which has dm-raid45.ko module. I do not know which changes to 2.6.34 about LVM. I think the errro is about the LVM. Anyone can give me answer or advice. Thanks. -- Best regards to you ! >From Yanfei wang Addr: Anhui China Email:backyes@mail.ustc.edu.cn <Email%3Abackyes(a)mail.ustc.edu.cn> QQ:23475391

Setting up a printer without having one
by Marko Vojinovic 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi folks! :-) I am supposed to configure this fresh install of CentOS 5.5 to work nicely with the HP 1010 printer, once it gets connected to the computer (probably via usb, but I cannot be sure). The problem is that I will not be anywhere near the machine when the printer actually gets plugged in, and hp-setup refuses to do anything until that happens. So how does one configure a to-be-used-in-the-future printer, without actually having one plugged in? People who are going to use the machine are noobs, and unlikely to be able to set up the printer themselves, so it would be a good idea if I could do it in advance. I haven't done anything like this before, and would be grateful for any pointers. TIA! :-) Marko

xulrunner 1.9.0.19-1: Does it exist or what?
by Robert Heller 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

According to 'yum info xulrunner' version 1.9.0.19, release 1.el5_5 exists and is an available package. But when I try to update it, yum claims there is nothing to do and when I try a general update, yum complains that it cannot update firefox because it cannot find xulrunner >= 1.9.0.19-1. What is going on here? I am doing this on a desktop x86_64 system that I recently brought up to CentOS 5.5, using the DVD ISO I downloaded to my laptop. I'd like to finish this update, but I am having this strange problem. I am getting the same problem on my (i686) laptop. I'm guessing that the updates repos are presently broken? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller(a)deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

IRC telling you to go to mailing list - it's for good reason ....
by Gabriel - IP Guys 31 May '10

31 May '10

Just to answer the aspect of why people in IRC tell you to go to a mailing list – because mailing list answers are more permanent that IRC, and also, it spreads the knowledge of the question, and the answer over a much wider time frame rather than just the two to three sentences that are involved in fixing your situation. It also notifies the mailing list which is generally watched by the devs/patchers/genius(is)/workaround guys/people from other distros/generally smart people – who could probably help you work through the problem, or at least direct you to a page that can. These days people treat IRC like a street market for info, there are no rules other than do not paste more than 3 lines! (pastebin is your friend) and you can say what you like to who you like, and log off, without so much as contributing to the community. … At least by coming to the mailing list, or at least searching the archives, the effort that had previously been exerted to answer the question the first 20 times on the mailing list, will not be wasted. IRC has been around for a long time, but unless the irc server is irc.(project domain name here).org then expect it to be staffed by volunteers and people who may not have the same focus as yourself. IRC is just one of a number of resources. It a good spot for instant relief, (think street hooker), but the mailing list is your wife! *disclaimer* I do not advocate the use of street hookers, nor do I discriminate/have any negative feeling towards against those who do, or indeed are ☺ - I just wanted to make a point! I think I made my point, all the resources are out there on the web, this is open source, we don’t pay for it, be glad with the system that has actually managed to evolve given the fact the only incentive has been to pass on knowledge. --- Latest Article :- The Puppet Module Tool The Puppet Apprentice :- http://puppetnewbie.blogspot.com Follow me on twitter :- http://twitter.com/mritguru Puppet #tags on twitter :- #puppet #puppetforge IRC :- itguru ON irc.freenode.org (feel free to say hi!)
