When using buildinstall and CentOS 5.2 to create my own CD minus a bunch
of unneeded RPM's and plus a few of my custom RPM's I find that the
install CD that gets build does not install an initrd which renders the
system unbootable. I also notice that when I run buildinstall with the
-debug option it says:
unpacking
/var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/kernel-2.6.18-92.el5.x86_64.rpm.x86_64
Building initrd.img
Module 3c501 not found in kernel rpm
Module 3c503 not found in kernel rpm
Module 3c505 not found in kernel rpm
and so on for many kernel modules. I notice that the filename it says it
is unpacking ends with .x86_64.rpm.x86_64. Is that normal? I google'd and
found someone else saying theirs did the same thing. Could this be related
to why I'm not ending up with an initrd being installed?

dsli.com is just for e-mail has nothing to do with my current internet service, dsli used to be a national isp I had service with before all the clecs went poof and as a sign of gratitude they let me and my wife keep our e-mail accounts.

I tried that and I don't think I got ethtool to respond properly, I will have to try again later.

1. Comcrap is not available in my area I am on road runner biz through bright house with 15m down and 2 up and static ip.
2. Already tested without the internal nic running
3. Tried with a router in between and the result is the same.
4. I do agree about the negotiation aspect, which I'm looking into as well.
5. Don't notice any collisions or errors on ifconfig.

I got my information about the MTU setting from doing google searches and the message boards on broadband reports as well as doing the tweak test on broad band reports.

LOL I wish I bought the internet, no this dsli.com e-mail address is because I used to have dsl service with them when they were a national provider back when there were clec's, but when all the clec's went poof they could not keep the dsl side of it, but as a sign of gratitude they let me and my wife keep the e-mail account. My domain is actually pbfamily.net

I have one server that I can not edit the /etc/grub/grub.conf file. I get
permission denied
as root. I can change other files just not grub.conf. after unmounting
/dev/hda from /boot
and mounting under /g for a test the same things occurs. Even in single
mode I can not
modify / delete / move the file. When umounted I did a fsck on it and all is
fine. also can not
edit menu.lst which links to grub.conf. what am I missing?
Thanks
-Jay
