usb thumbdrive
by Jerry Geis 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I have a bootable usb thumbdrive now... three partions, msdos for syslinux booting, ext3 and swap. How can I grab my QEMU installed centos 4 image and put it on the ext3 /dev/sdc2 partition on my thumbdrive? THanks, Jerry

Yes, Thanks. What I forgot to mention was that I need to run CentOS 4.5 and not CentOS 4.6 if at all possible. ---- On Fri, 6 Jun 2008, nate (centos(a)linuxpowered.net) wrote: Tim Verhoeven wrote: > Well, if RHEL 4U6 is supported, then just use CentOS 4.6 instead of > 4.5 and the install will work.

Dell 1950 Perc 6/i with centos 4.5
by Stephen Moccio 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

We are currently running CentOS 4.5 on older Dell Systems. We are upgrading to Dell PowerEdge 1950 with a PERC 6/i raid controller. CentOS 4.5 installation does not see the PERC 6/i controller. Dell and LSI Logic only support RHEL 4U6 and higher and SuSe. I've tried building the boot images with the new driver for installation but kickstart still doesn't see the raid controller. I've also used the DRIVERDISK directive within kickstart but that didn't work either. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any suggestions on what I might try next? Appreciate any help. Thanks, Steve Moccio uReach Technologies

enter run level
by Jerry Geis 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I have a centos 4 x86_64 machine that has been working fine. It has software RAID-1. Now when it boots I get the GRUB screen, I get the very first screen about loading Init then I get a prompt about: Enter Run Level: When I enter 3 nothing happens... This is obviously not a normal boot situation. First question: Why this prompt? Second question: since it is software raid do I run e2fsck /dev/sda1 then e2fsck /dev/sdb1? I am booted presently into linux rescue mode. Seems like /dev/md0 is not know in linux rescue... I presume the file system is messed up so I was wanting to run e2fsck. It is an ext3 system. Thanks, Jerry

kernels and irc
by James Bunnell 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I was in the #centos-social channel and simply stated that I noticed CentOS 3-4 were getting a lot of updates. I also stated that the CentOS 5 was one kernel behind, as in RHEL it is at -53, the gentlemen then told me that I was wrong and it was at -21. I then asked if there was a way to get a progress report somehow on 5.2, and that 5.2 has already upgraded that kernel. The result was that I was banned for being correct. I dont understand this kind of support.

firewalled NFS
by Jordi Prats 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hi, I'm trying to setup a firewalled NFS server. I've configured my server (CentOS 5) using the following parameters /etc/sysconfig/nfs MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" RQUOTAD_PORT=875 LOCKD_TCPPORT=32803 LOCKD_UDPPORT=32769 RPCNFSDCOUNT=64 MOUNTD_PORT=892 STATD_PORT=662 STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=2020 SECURE_NFS="yes" modprobe.conf: options lockd nlm_udpport=4001 nlm_tcpport=4001 But it does not mount it: # mount 172.20.0.150:/tmp/ /mnt/tmp/ mount: mount to NFS server '172.20.0.150' failed: timed out (giving up). There's anything else I must setup to use fixed ports ? Thanks, -- Jordi

OT - colors in window change - sometimes....
by MHR 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

One of our Windows machines here has this interesting property that I could not duplicate in Linux (F8, but I'll check it later at home from C5.1, too). If I open a DOS window, set the properties to have a white background with dark blue font, telnet to another machine, and run some commands, sometimes the commands echo in gray on black (and stay that way). For example, the default ls (which has the color=tty option set), does this, but only with what it prints to the screen. The real killer is vi, which resets the whole screen background back to black with colored fonts, some of which are really hard to read (like dark blue on black - egad!). When I log out, the DOS window resets, but only what it prints, unless I clear the screen, which "fixes" it. Does anyone know anything about this? Seems really strange (like most WinDO$ weirdness). NEVER happens on my Linux box, but it does happen through rdesktop.... Thanks. mhr
