5.1 Anaconda Install Error
by Kirk Bocek 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I'm unable to install x86_64 on a host. The installer gets through the first part, asking for install type and it begins loading the images from whatever media was selected. Then anaconda spills a series of cryptic messages ending in 'file not found' and the console on F2 is locked up. I've tried this with physical DVD media, PXE-HTTP and media-boot HTTP install. It happens every time. This is a reinstall to this host. The weird thing is that I was able to install to this host from this media previously. I've seen the note at bugs.centos.org regarding an incorrect .discinfo file but that doesn't seem to be it. The .diskinfo file: 1195929648.203590 Final x86_64 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 CentOS/base /home/buildcentos/CENTOS/5.1/en/x86_64/CentOS CentOS/pixmaps Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Kirk Bocek

Samba AD valid users issue
by mslist＠opcenter.net 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Thanks, The issue dos not seem to be with the separator. It is with the @ as a leading char in the group name. But I will give it a try on Monday Michel van Deventer michel at van.deventer.cx Fri Jun 6 21:34:23 UTC 2008 Having a quick glance at the config I remember I had a sort of same issue, set your winbind seperator character to something like '#' and do the same in the valid users and groups and it should give you more working stuff ;) The \ character is a line break which tells samba to continue reading the config on the next line including spaces and linebreaks...

Samba AD valid users issue
by mslist＠opcenter.net 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I have setup a new server centos 5.1 server as a storage server with over 7TB of storage. The server has been integrated into a large Active Directory network there are 5 primary AD servers and a large number of local AD server at each location (over 20). There are also over 15 trusted domains hundreds of groups and thousands of users. It has been quite a challenge to integrate the Linux server with Samba into this incitement. I am now at a point where I can change user and group ownership of filed and folders at AD users and connect to the server with a windows client. There are also issues with Samba not starting on bootup (yes the service is set to start at level 3 system starts non GUI). And it seems to take quite a while for system to recognize domain users on startup. The [TEST] share works with out issue. The [TEST-ENG] share is not working no matter what I do. The issue that I am having is that most of the groups have a @ at the beginning. Ie: @DIV-Engineering This conflicts with the Samba valid users = directive in the smb.conf. I have been able to change the group ownership to @DIV-Engineering in the file-system without any issues. Is there any way to do this? [global] workgroup = XXX realm = XXX server string = Samba Server Version %v security = ADS auth methods = guest, sam, winbind obey pam restrictions = Yes password server = nycbcc01.xxx.ad.xxx.net # winbind separator = \\ # passdb backend = tdbsam wins server = 192.20.76.98 ldap ssl = no winbind use default domain = yes idmap uid = 10000-100000 idmap gid = 10000-100000 winbind enum users = Yes preferred master = no encrypt passwords = yes template homedir = /home/samba/%D/%U cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [TEST] path = /home/samba/shares/TEST valid users = @"XXX\Domain Users" force group = "XXX\domain users" read only = No create mask = 0774 force create mode = 0775 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0770 force directory security mode = 0770 [TEST-ENG] path = /home/samba/shares/TEST valid users = @"XXX\@DIV-Engineering" force group = "XXX\@DIV-Engineering" read only = No create mask = 0774 force create mode = 0775 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0770 force directory security mode = 0770

usb thumbdrive
by Jerry Geis 06 Jun '08

Hi all, I am soo close. I have have made my custom kernel from a DIFFERENT machine, I have hte USB booting, I have 3 partitions, 1-fat12, 2 - ext3, 3 is swap. on booting it says: VFS cannot open root device NULL please append root= I tried root=/dev/sda2 and still nothing. Is there something about building a kernel on one machine and then taking that to another machine with different disk structure and it not booting??? What do you do in that case? I think - hope - this is my last step to get past... jerry

vsftpd and active mode connections causes FTP session to hang
by Timothy Selivanow 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I've encountered an odd error state that I haven't been able to resolve yet. I have a customer that, for what ever reason, wants to use active mode occasionally for FTP xfers. What they have noticed, is that after you switch to active, and issue a command (they do 'ls', I've done other things like 'put' and 'get', etc.), the connection hangs. If you wait a bit it returns with a "425 Failed to establish connection". I've tried this on three hosts so far (all CentOS 5) and they all behave the same, some of which there is effectively no firewall (all traffic is allowed from my workstation to the host, and no restrictions on exiting traffic). All google searches about this behavour thus far have talked about old versions of vsftpd or using filesystems such as FAT, which don't apply in all cases. Any ideas? --Tim ____________________________________________________________ / bureaucracy, n: \ \ A method for transforming energy into solid waste. / ------------------------------------------------------------ \ \ \ \ /\ ( ) .( o ).

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
