how to find last updates for Centos 5.3?
by Paul Johnson 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I'm setting up a Rocks Cluster Linux system <http://www.rocksclusters.org> using Centos 5.3 as the OS. Rocks is an organizing framework for multi node systems, it tries to orchestrate kickstart installs across many systems and interaction among those many systems as a compute cluster. One problem with administering these systems is that the OS updates can break the Rocks framework. I've tried Rocks with Centos5.4, but there is some incompatability. The Rocks system is based on Centos 5.2, it tolerates 5.3, but not 5.4. The Rocks experts seem to discourage us from making any RPM package updates, but I'm adventuresome enough to think that I can at least try to make some selective updates. I wish I had access to a Centos update folder AS IT EXISTED before Centos 5.4 was released. The last update set that applied to 5.3,in other words. But I can't figure how to get that, because Centos servers just have the current updates under a folder marked 5. If I try to update against the current 5 server, it will pull in lots and lots of new RPMS from the Centos base, and I don't want that. I can't afford the risk of updating against the current Centos offerings because Rocks might not work anymore, or so I'm told by the Rocks experts. Any ideas about how to go back in time and get the last 5.3 update batch?? pj -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas

Hi buddies I attempt to compile a kernel on CentOS 5.3. The kernel version is 2.6.31.6. All make procedure is running ok. I can generate initrd image with no problem too. But, when I try booting this kernel, I get Kernel panic: Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory [ 1.732772] init used greatest stack depth: 5168 bytes left [ 1.733029] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Cent5 SELinux impacts on home exports when restoring from older systems are?
by Todd Denniston 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I am working on moving some nfs shares from an older Linux system to CentOS5 server. some are used by the machine and its clients as $HOME (but not mounted at /home) and working directories. using selinux-policy-targeted. Are there any selinux policy additions (so restorecon keeps them each time it is ran) I should be looking to make before trying to slip the new system in under the users noses? that is besides setting to permissive, which I do not want to do. I am finding http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux and http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-selinux.html of mild use. Thanks for any advise/informative URLs. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

Gentoo? What do you have against the OP? Why subject him to such madness and unnecessary pain? :D In my recent trip through i486 land, I found that Debian seems to be the best bet for nearly all packages being natively available in i386. Also, the installation can be pruned down to a very slim ~140MB if you're careful. Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

Any way to initiate a kickstart from shell prompt?
by Spiro Harvey 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi all, I've set up a CentOS flash stick using the LiveCD tools, then dumping that onto flash with a persistent overlay - instructions here: http://wtf.geek.nz/?blog/2009/12/08/how-to-make-a-useful-centos-utility-fla… This gets me to a prompt in which I can do recovery stuff, but I'm curious to know if it's possible to initiate a kickstart install onto the local disks from that prompt. I've got a separate stick that appends ks= lines to boot different kickstart files, but I'd really like to have the ability to do this on the non-auto-install stick too. Is this possible? Is there a command that kicks this off? Cheers -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz

Re: [CentOS] Installing R on CentOS 5

Anyone thought about installing R from the Scientific Linux site? R is a standard part of SL. It might be a bit more compatible with CentOS than other sites. Just an idea. -- Brent L.
