CentOS 5.1 x86 medium installation problems
by Ioannis Vranos 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hi, I had downloaded CentOS 5.1 x86 DVD image, and although it passed sha1sum or md5sum test and I burned it verifying it, installation failed. Also if I recall correctly, when I tested the medium during install, it failed although as I said the media was verified. ==> The same things happen with Scientific Linux 5.1 x86 installation DVD, so perhaps it is a Red Hat EL 5.1 x86 DVD issue?

Xorg crashes centos 5.1
by Jerry Geis 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

From dmesg after the crash. Xorg[12774] general protection rip:2b3daaff218b rsp:7fff01440950 error:0 Anyone experiencing X11 crashes? I have an amd 6400+ centos 5.1 x86_64. This typically happens when I VNC in from home into my machine at work. My machine has nvidia card and I do run the binary drivers. However, I switched out for a short time and ran the nv driver and it happens there also. Any ideas? Anyone else see this? Anyone else using vnc? I do load in xorg.conf the vnc module. Jerry

Hi to all, i am facing a really strange problem ,and i am not able to find a solution by myself and it is really critical for me to solve it asap :( I have replaced old sata disk with new one on centos , i did a whole cp -a copy from single mode do new disk. What i have done? 1) using fdisk created sdb1 (Linux) and sdb2 (Linux LVM) 1) created volume group boss on new disk at sda2 2) created group volumes root, home, swap 3) formated /dev/mapper/boss-root with ext3 4) fromated /dev/mapper/boss-home with ext3 5) created mkswap on /dev/mapper/boss-swap 6) formated /dev/sdb1 with ext3 (will be boot) mounted all under /new and did cp -a from current disk to /new location (without /proc and /tmp) then created /new/proc and /new/tmp directory after that i turned off computer and removed old disk (sda) booted using centos cd with linux rescue everything got mounted under /mnt/sysimage chrooted to /mnt/sysimage then i edited /etc/fstab with current values : /dev/mapper/boss-root for roor /dev/mapper/boss-home for home /dev/mapper/boss-swap for swap edited /etc/grub.conf with root= /dev/mapper/boss-root did grub-install /dev/sda and now the problem after kernel load i will get info that GroupVol00 (which was lvm group on old disk does not exist) info about boss group fonded and then i will get an error that /dev/root ???? does not exist and then that /proc does not exist and then kernel panic Where is the problem? I did this whole process so many times without error and know i am stuck do not know where. I checked lvm.conf double, checked if /etc/fstab /etc/grub.conf configured OK checked using lvm syntax for lvm ... Thanks in advance!

Greetings, It just strike me that they are no available version of OpenSSH version 5 or any available versions with the ChrootDirectory option. Any reason why ? Thanks,

rsync question
by Anne Wilson 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

I run several backup scripts by cron, one of which backs up my mail. I do not want it to back up the Trash folder, but it appears to be doing so. I conclude that my script is faulty somewhere, and would be grateful for advice. The command is rsync -auvz --delete-after --exclude-from=/home/anne/rsync_skiplist_mail.txt /home/anne/Maildir/ /Data3/anne/Maildir/ where rsync_skiplist_mail.txt says *~ .[a-z]* .[A-Z]* Maildir/.INBOX.Bugs/ Maildir/.Trash/ Comments, please?

Looks professional in terms of interface. Good community too. The only problem is that it was bought by Yahoo which is planning to buy by M$, but since OS version was GPL, then I assume that the project will continue even after acquired by M$.
