Suspend to swap failing on OQO
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

error is: cpufreq: suspend failed to assert current frequency is what timing core thinks it is. I think this might be tied into one of the Unbutu install notes: ftp://ftp.oqo.com/unsupported/linux/OQOLinux.html ?? Really need to be able to suspend.

Centos and colocation....
by Bob Hoffman 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Well, I finally did it..and used centos. I started out in 1997 with my little website with not much on it. It was a shared host account. Eventually I added some more sites and got to grow out and went to this new fangled thing called VPS. Lots of problems plagued me throughout that experience, some on ensim control panel, some on others. When chost.net (think that was their name) blew up (1999 ?) and I lost my sites I moved to OLM. Finally got big enough to go to the dedicated thing. My own server, managed by the hosting company. Years of that turned stale as recumbent issues of updating and control panels just made it not so good. I made the plunge and built my own server and colocated it. Only problem, which software. I decided on rhel, but found the support so stunningly unknowledgable I moved to centos since it made no difference free or paid, no tech support is really there anyway. And I do not like redhat having access to my servers like that. It was a long long trial by fire to learn sysadmin with linux. But lessened by the huge amount of pre-setups that are done with a centos install. I look at web pages and books that talk about untarring, installing and compiling, and just pass right by them (scared one day I may have to do that stuff). It was not easy making the jump. Especially deciding not to use a control panel. However, today, just minutes ago, I moved the final website from the dedicated host to my own server and cancelled the account. It is just a wonderful and elated feeling to know I have a good server with redundancy, great raid mirror, awesome software, great company updating security patches and a great company that repackages that for me from redhat. So far, other than the hardships of learning how to build the dang webserver with a ton of poorly instructed programs, centos has been sturdy, stable, and works like a charm, almost out of the box!! I would never want to repeat the experience of learning this stuff for the first time...never. But now that I passed what I hope is the last hard bump in the road, I can finally get some sleep, go outside, and start programming more websites. Thanks centos. And yes. I am compiling all my notes from start to finish on this webserver project and intend to print a book with a step by step...but only for centos. Eventually make it one big wiki site too. Thanks for everyone who helped, everyone who yelled, everyone who flamed, everyone who just laughed, and everyone who supported. Today, I am free from hosting companies! Hooooo- Aaaaaaaah!!!! And a big thank you to the team at Centos who take the time to package up the redhat binaries and make them work correctly...and for adding the updates so quickly to the mirrors. I hope my book will bring more people to centos as a perfect solution for a webserver. Gonna go to bed now...finally over.

CentOS 5.2 kickstart install with latest updates
by Venkatraju 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi, The CentOS 5.2 release notes contain this warning: "A kickstart installation that attempts to use the *repo* directive (where that *repo* points to an updates repository) may fail to properly install." This is exactly the method that I had been using with CentOS 5.1 :-) What is the right way to achieve this now? Is adding a repository in the %post section of the kickstart file and running "yum update" safe? Anyone run into problems with this? Thanks in advance, Venkat

non-graphics install or fix xorg.conf?
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Trying the to install on the OQO, and hitting up against one problem I see a lot in the comments about installing various distros on it. That is its screen size. So I could install using the text installation except... What is the command line for text install and askmethod so I can use HTTP to access my local repo? What do I add to 'linux askmethod'? And if I go the text install route, can I do all of my custom disk partitioning? I seem to recall from when I fell intotext install on a system without enough memory, that I could not work with LVM in text mode. Or Can I set the video size in that 'linux askmethod' line? Here is a sample xorg.conf I have found: Section "Device" Identifier "Silicon Motion, Inc. SM720 Lynx3DM" Driver "vesa" # Driver "siliconmotion" # need to modify the driver first before using BusID "PCI:0:6:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" Modeline "800x480" 40 800 864 928 1088 480 481 484 509 +HSync EndSection IF I have to go with a custom kickstart file from diskette (Drive a:), I suppose I could put the hardware together for it. I would need a powered USB hub (around here somewhere), my USB diskette drive, along with the USB CDrom.... How best to proceed? Oh, for my custom disk partitioning, besides the ext3 partition for /boot, I create a separate swap partition of memory x 2 (=2Gb). Then the LVM partition has two ext3 partitions, one for / around 12Gb, and the other for /home as the rest. The drive is a 60Gb drive, so I might make / bigger: ext3 /boot 100mb swap 2Gb LVM Rest of drive (to 512byte multiple) ext3 / 12Gb ext3 /home rest of LVM

kernel and memory question
by Mag Gam 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Currently at my university we are running many servers with Centos 4.6 and everything is okay, but when a user does a large operation such as 'cp' or 'tar' or 'rsync' all of the physical memory gets exhausted. Our lab servers have 32GB physical to 64GB of physical memory and when a user does a large copy which involves very small but over 10k files eventually we see a kswap process. I would like to control swapping so these files don't go into memory instead they get flushed out. These computers are used for fluid dynamics calculations and I would just like to have the memory do a FIFO and use the least swap as possible. I tried setting the swapiness to '10' or '0' but that really does not help. Also, has there been a major memory management advancement from 4.6 to 5.2? If so, where can I read about the changes? TIA
