Berlin Beer event.
by Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hey After the London Beer event seams to become a regular thing I was wondering who in Berlin would want to participate in such a thing. I am visiting for BLIT [1] on the 21. November to promote CentOS and was wondering how many people would participate? It is always good to meet fellow Linux / CentOS users and exchange experiences and knowledge. Hope some people will get together. Cheers Didi [1] http://www.blit.org/2009/ ---- My www page: www.ribalba.de Email / Jabber: ribalba(a)gmail.com Skype : ribalba

Audio issue(s)
by MHR 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

I just bought a new (refurbished) Everexe StepNote laptop with a VIA C7-M CPU and a VIA chipset, installed CentOS 5.4 on it and the audio is not working. I looked around for a sound driver for the VIA vt1708/a, which is what it claims to have (see below), but that didn't work either. Any pointers as to what I'm missing? !lpspci 04:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Build a LiveCD?
by Niki Kovacs 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hi, I have a highly customized desktop built from CentOS 5.4 and RPMForge repos (plus some stuff of my own). I'd like to build a LiveCD from that, for one very specific reason. I have a medical application (MedinTux) that would be very handy to demonstrate to doctors, hospital staff, etc. with a LiveCD. Any ideas? Niki

Hi guys, Any chance we could get KSM support in centos 5.4? Maybe the centosplus ones or a gift from elrepo.

On my new CentOS 5.4 box I cannot get -j QUEUE to work. I am using the same setup I used on a CentOS 5.2 box. Is there anything new I should know? Thanks, Mike.

Partition alignment
by Scott McClanahan 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I'll be setting up a vSphere 4 environment hosting CentOS 5.4 on Netapp FAS and was curious how you guys are handling the automation of partition alignment within your linux guests. I'd like to use cobbler for dynamically creating kickstart scripts and wasn't sure if I could align my disk during install some how. Are there kickstart arguments to force the alignment on a 4k boundary? Have any of you had to do this? Thanks.

London Beer event today, last reminder
by Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hey Some of us are yet-again going to be getting together for a CentOS Beer evening on the 10th Nov 2009 at the Kings and Queens. The Pub is mostly quiet during the week, has a fair selection of drinks and is central enough to most people in the city. The full address is : King & Queens, 1 Foley St, London, W1W 6DL Here is a Google Street view of the place http://bit.ly/1PchSO We should be there from about 6:30pm onwards. And depending on how people feel about it, will move around the corner to Ragham, for some food around 9pm. When you get there, keep an eye out for people in CentOS T-Shirts/ Shirts. There is no real agenda except focus on beer and the food! However, you are welcome to bring laptops around and show off any cool stuff you've been working on ( iirc, there is no internet at the pub though ). There will be some promo stuff to give away and I will bring a few T-Shirts people can get for a little donation towards the project.

Xen pci passthru problems with kernel -164.6.1
by Miguel Di Ciurcio Filho 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi there, After updating a server from CentOS 5.3 to 5.4 my Xen pci-passthru setup has some troubles. The server has two NICs, one used by dom0 and the other assigned to a domU and one SCSI controler assigned to another domU. It has been working fine since CentOS 5.1, when I did the initial setup. After upgrading to 5.4, I get this error when starting the domU with one of the NICs assigned: Error: pci: improper device assignment specified: pci: 0000:07:00.0 must be co-assigned to the same guest with 0000:07:00.1, but it is not owned by pciback. On the other hand, the domU with the SCSI controler boots, but the driver inside the domU prints a lot of awful errors and does not work. I've booted the domU with the SCSI controller using the -128.7.1 kernel and everything works fine as before -164.6.1. Any clues on why I can't assign just one NIC to the domU anymore? # ls -l /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 10 09:55 0000:07:00.1 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:02.0/0000:07:00.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 10 09:55 0000:08:03.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.3/0000:08:03.0 --w------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 10 09:55 bind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 10 09:55 module -> ../../../../module/pciback --w------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 10 09:55 new_id --w------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 10 09:55 new_slot -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 10 08:35 permissive -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 10 08:35 quirks --w------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 10 09:55 remove_id --w------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 10 09:55 remove_slot -r-------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 10 09:55 slots --w------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 10 09:55 unbind # Script do create the initrds KVER="2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen" mkinitrd -f --omit-scsi-modules --omit-raid-modules \ --with=e1000e --with=xennet --with=xenblk \ --preload=xenblk /boot/initrd-$KVER-domU.img $KVER mkinitrd -f --preload=pciback /boot/initrd-$KVER.img $KVER # cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e1000e options netloop nloopbacks=0 options pciback hide=(0000:07:00.1)(0000:08:03.0) alias scsi_hostadapter2 megaraid_sas # this is the RAID controller alias scsi_hostadapter3 ata_piix # lspci |egrep "(Ether|SCSI)" 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 07:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 08:03.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 08) # uname -a Linux salvador.ic.unicamp.br 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 16:48:13 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # domU-with-NIC.cfg kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen-domU.img" memory = "4096" name = "taquaral" disk = ['phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-root,xvda1,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-home,xvda2,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-home-staff,xvda3,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-home-adm,xvda4,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-home-admsis,xvda5,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-home-phd,xvda6,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-home-spec,xvda9,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-swap,xvda7,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/taquaral-var,xvda8,w'] vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:57:13:a5, bridge=vlan0'] vcpus = 4 extra = "console=xvc0" root = "/dev/xvda1" pci = ["0000:07:00.1"] # domU-with-SCSI.cfg kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen-domU.img" memory = "2048" name = "flamboyant" disk = ['phy:/dev/volumes/flamboyant-root,xvda1,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/flamboyant-var,xvda2,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/flamboyant-l,xvda3,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/flamboyant-swap,xvda4,w'] vif = ['mac=00:16:e3:55:55:55, bridge=br0', 'mac=00:16:3e:55:55:10, bridge=vlan0'] vcpus = 2 extra = "console=xvc0" root = "/dev/xvda1" pci = ["0000:08:03.0"] # menu.lst title CentOS (2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 dom0_mem=1G module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/ enforcing=0 module /initrd-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen.img
