kernel-vm repo
by Clint Dilks 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Hi People, I have downloaded http://dev.centos.org/~tru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/i386/kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.14.e… <http://dev.centos.org/%7Etru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/i386/kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.14…> but was just wondering if these kernel-vm rpms are in a yum repository. Previous posts to centos.org suggest this, so can someone please let me know what repo it should be coming from so I can see why my system doesn't see them. Thanks.

NFS mount problems

28 Apr '08

This morning my laptop could not connect to the server by its fstab mounts. I restarted nfs and restarted the network on the server, all without making any difference. Restarting the network brought Bringing up interface borg2: RTNETLINK answers: File exists Error adding address 192.168.0.40 for eth0. but ifconfig shows the correct address for eth0. What else should I look for? Anne

DKMS
by John 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Alan, I knew of the Dell article, as I have all of those saved for reference. [1] I was just wondering if you knew of any that were for someone knew to Linux. You know the Microsoft type tutorials that have screenshot with them. That's the question I get asked a lot of times from around my home area. In turn when these users that are new to Linux they get discouraged when they can't visualy see pictures or have to edit some text file. They just use to doing things the M$ Way. CentOS could have a much broader user base (Huge), the biggest user base around if simple things like this could be done. i realize though it take volunteers to do this on the wiki. [1] DKMS was originally meant for updating Dells server hardware (drivers) see: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms-ols2004.pdf and Sys Admins, but has come further than that. Install DKMS. Install driver, hope like hell it works on kernel update On 03/04/2008, John <jses27 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Anyone on the List know of a good DKMS tutorial besides the one at > linux.dell.com?

Hopefully what you mean is that it isn't designed specifically for users that are new to Linux. It is a perfectly fine distribution for those wanting to learn Linux, though the learning curve may be a bit steep. Is there any distro designed to train new Linux users? robert

DVD reader: Hardware problem or OS glitch?
by Lanny Marcus 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Hello: The box is dual boot (Win XP & CentOS 5). A Dell Dimension 4300 Celeron. There was an intermittent problem with this last year and last Thanksgiving, I wiped the HD and installed Win XP and CentOS 5 clean. My daughter asked me to install KStars which is in the kdeedu RPM on the Fedora Core 6 Install DVD. I did that, without any problems, on my box and on my wife's box. On the Dimension 4300, in Linux, the OS thinks the DVD ROM is empty. I suspect this is a HW problem, but: (a) Windows can see everything on the DVD, without any problem and (b) I can boot the Fedora Core 6 Install DVD, without any problem. If anyone on the ML has ideas about what might be wrong with the installation of the OS (I have GNOME and KDE installed and the problem is the same with either desktop) please give me your suggestions about how to get the DVD to mount properly. TIA!

dd trough scp with tar
by David Hláčik 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hi, first i will explain my experiment : We have ESX server running virtual machines .We want to migrate to XEN. As i did not found any tool for transfering ESX to for example real server, or better to XEN --> please correct me if i am wrong , i found following approach : i will inside virtual machine on ESX boot from Live-CD of CentOS , using dd i will transfer images trought scp to CentOs machine with xen. I believe this one should work, machines on ESX are Windows2003 Servers. So what i need to find is how to write a command which will transfer image trought scp , but for faster transfer also compress it before using tar, or gzip. *so my input will be dd if=/dev/sda1 , my output will be gzipped or tarred image on second side. sda1.img.gz* ** Thanks in advance! D.

dying hd on live legacy system...
by Jason Pyeron 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

We have an old 3.x server whose hd is dying (kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61) and accessing certain files just crashes the system with a reboot. We have moved as many files to a nfs server as we could so simply. The system has been heavily modified (all using rpms) from baseline. What is the most practical method to replace the hard drive? -Jason Pyeron -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
