Building an install disk on a USB key, solved
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 24 May '10

24 May '10

Ok, there's been discussion, including, I think, on the wiki web page, that syslinux is not correct. At any rate, after enough experimentation, I have a working install on a USB key. The procedure is: Using fdisk, partition your key: one partition, VFAT (type b, and toggle the bootable flag), about 9M or 10M, and a second partition big enough to hold a DVD. That should be type 83 (Linux native). mkfs -t vfat <the DOS partition) mkfs <the Linux partition liveCD-iso-to-disk <.iso, w/ full path> /dev/<USB DOS partition> mount <USB Linux partition> /mnt cp <CentOS.iso> /mnt/ You're done. You do have to tell it "install from hard disk", and then point it to the Linux partition. I just did this and tested it (or at least as far as the "searching for existing CentOS installations). mark

Bug in freeradius 1.1.3-1.5.el5_4 rpm
by Ian Forde 22 May '10

22 May '10

I upgraded one of my servers to CentOS 5.4 today. The freeradius service (radiusd) didn't start up due to permissions errors. I tracked it to the permissions on the /etc/raddb/certs/ directory being set to 640 rather than 750, so the radius user couldn't enter the directory. In the spec file from the source rpm, line 200 should read: %attr(750,root,radiusd) %config (noreplace) /etc/raddb/certs rather than the current: %attr(640,root,radiusd) %config (noreplace) /etc/raddb/certs Note that this bug also exists in the the 1.1.3-1.4.el5 version that's part of the CentOS 5.4 release. I'm not sure if it exists upstream though, but there it is... ;) -I

Re: [CentOS] Is every CentOS release supported for 7 years?
by Michael Lampe 22 May '10

22 May '10

> ... I understand now ... No, you don't. > is it required to upgrade to each point release in order to continue > receiving security updates? It's strictly linear and one-dimensional. Point releases only mark a specific point in time, where you get a little bit more, e.g. additional drivers, an optional new version of samba, etc. You always type 'yum update' and go ahead. Nothing else.

GRUB Hard Disk Error
by Jozsi Vadkan 22 May '10

22 May '10

I've got two pendrives. I want to install a Debian on them. RAID1. Ok... ... After I installed it in RAID1, it works perfectly, ok! :) When I pull out one of the pendrive [good pendrive], it still boots up, hurrah :) But: ... When I pull out the other pendrive [i plug in the first one i tried] it say's: GRUB hard disk error What can I do? I already tried: grub-install /dev/sdc <-that's the pendrive name [bios -> hard drive emulation=hard drive, not auto] or: # grub find /boot/grub/stage1 hd0,0 hd1,0 root (hd0,0) setup (hd0,0) etc. What's the solution? Please help me:\ I can't just dd the first 512 Byte of the "good pendrive", because the uuid is stored there. [needed for the sraid..] It gets to the grub, so it's not a ""boot-order problem"" How can I install grub to these two pendrives, so that if one of the pendrives die, it would still be a bootable system?
