cpan2rpm
by Joseph L. Casale 28 Oct '08

When you use --no-depchk with this tool, does this actually turn off the dependency check in the final rpm as well? Reading docs about this I am not sure and I just installed an rpm that I know I am missing the deps for and built with this switch and it installed fine? Thanks, jlc

Kickstart package groups
by Francisco Puente 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hello, I'm building another kickstart CD, minimal, and creating my own repository. Is there any way I can get the list of files that a group (like @core o @base) will install? The idea is to put only those files in the repository to be included later in the iso file, and only those files, nothing else. Thanks in advance Francisco

'severe errors' listed in nightly logwatch emails
by Ray Leventhal 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

HI folks, If this is the wrong forum for this question, please let me know (with a gentle pointer to the right place)...TIA for that. I've started to receive some 'Severe Errors' in my nightly logwatch emails. As the system had been initially misconfigured for logwatch emails, I've only recently begun to receive them, so I'm not entirely sure when this started. (long story) Lets start with the basics of the machine: # uname -a Linux generic.example.com 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 07:41:53 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # rpm -qa|grep release centos-release-5-2.el5.centos As the output was verbose, I posted it on pastebin. http://pastebin.com/m1a9eb219 If anyone has any information or suggestions here, I'd be greatly appreciative. TIA, -Ray

rtl8169 kernel dump
by Jerry Geis 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I installed 5.2 x86_64 on a new hp dv7z laptop using noprobe on the install line. After rebooting the rtl8169 causes the kernel to dump. Is there a parameter I can pass to it (somehow) to avoid the kernel dump??? Thanks, Jerry

Sendmail and pmtu discovery
by Sean Carolan 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

We have an issue with some customers who refuse to accept ICMP traffic to their mail servers. It seems that they have put Mordac, preventer of information services in charge of their firewall policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_characters_in_Dilbert#Mordac) My mail logs are showing that customers who specifically disallow ICMP traffic have many "Connection Reset" entries in our logs: Oct 14 08:00:50 mailsrv sendmail[2024]: m9ED0Yf5002021: to=<customername(a)customer.org>, delay=00:00:16, xdelay=00:00:16, mailer=esmtp, pri=42476, relay=mail.customer.org. [XX.XX.XX.XX], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection reset by mail.customer.org. I have disabled pmtu discovery on our routers as well as on all our outbound mail servers. Is there anything else I can do on our side to help the situation?

Problem selecting installation drive : 5.2
by Alex H. Vandenham 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

When doing the 5.2 installation the ONLY drive option provided is mapper/nvidia_cbjcdhfe (250G) My system has 2 SATA - 250G drives and I want to use them in a RAID/LVM configuration. My question: How do I get the installer to let me use DiskDruid to create RAID1 arrays and then use LVM for the mount points? What I've done so far: I've verified that both drives are recognized by going to the shell screen and using fdisk to access both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb - so I know they are both available. I've also tried using the Centos 4.7 installer where I can do exactly what I want. I've accepted the default and after a full install of 5.2 there is no raid and total space is 250G. I've looked at the various deployment guides and installation guides but can't find how to do this . . . . puzzled Alex === -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Avantel Systems, and is believed to be clean.
