Kernel-upgrade breaks forcedeth-driver (CentOS 4)
by Simen Thoresen 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi all, Same system as my previous mail - Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboards, CentOS 4 x86_64. The kernel-supplied forcedeth driver works in kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL (both with and without acpi=off), but after upgrading to kernel-smp-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL, networking does not start. After trying dhcp, ifconfig reports 17 dropped TX packets (all other counters are empty). Ethtool reports the same settings for working and non-working kernel, and both report the link arbitrated to 1000Mbps. Setting a manual address does not do anything useful either. When booting with 55.0.9, networking works again. This has also been confirmed on another system - 2.6.9-55.0.12.EL works, and 2.6.9-67.EL fails (but this system is not available for troubleshooting right now). Also, the above system was attempted installed with CentOS 5 (.0 and later with 5.1), but this was aborted due to 'networking problems', so I am thinking that the problem possibly persists at least as late as the CentOS 5.1 install-kernel. Any thoughts or suggestions? Yours, -S -- Simen Thoresen - Dolphin ICS Systems Administrator

Re: [CentOS] Recommended software for mail greylist?
by Brent L. Bates 29 Feb '08

We've been using milter-greylist: http://hcpnet.free.fr/milter-greylist/ ftp://ftp.espci.fr/pub/milter-greylist/ for almost a year now and it works great. I looked over a number of other options and I believe this was the only one that was a compiled executable. I think all the other ones I found were scripts and I wanted something faster. -- Brent L.

Well, take it over to CentOS-virt, attach the config of the guest and I'm sure someone will spot the problem. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Fri Feb 29 08:48:42 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] error creating Centos 5.1 x32 dum_U instance on CentOS5.1x64 Ross S.

error creating Centos 5.1 x32 dum_U instance on CentOS 5.1 x64
by Rudi Ahlers 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi all This is the first time I try and get Xen working, and want to install a few CentOS 5.1 32bit and FreeBSD 6.1 VM's on my CentOS 5.1 x64 server. Trying to get the first one to install is rather trivial, and I keep on running into errors. At fist I wanted to install it fro the cdrom, so I used "virt-install --cdrom=/dev/hdc" It booted up, and I could choose my language, but then got an error saying I don't have the right driver for the cdrom install. Odd. So, I copied the whole CD to my intranet server, to try a HTTP installation, which got much further, but fails as soon as it starts copying the files to the xvda partition. Here's what I've done: virt-install -p --location=http://intranet/kickstart/centos/5.1/32/os/i386 --ram=512 --file=/vm/vm03.img --name=vm03 Probing for video card: Unable to probe No video hardware found, assuming headless Graphical installation not available...

strange situation with dev sr0
by David Hláčik 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi I have absolutely no idea what does it means : --------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------ WARNING: Kernel Errors Present Buffer I/O error on device sr0, l ...: 16932 Time(s) end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector ...: 16962 Time(s) ---------------------- Kernel End ------------------------- I am getting this all the time a lot of times as you can see. Machine is running on Centos 5.1 x64 running vmware server , with 2 serial ata devices sda sdb connected into raid md0 md1 level 1. I have no device sr0 and I do not know what it is. I have DVDRW on /dev/hda I believe it all started once when I used cdrecord to burn image on cd and I've got error messages that device is not ready. Since I was not able to kill cdrecord propertly I did restarted system. Since then I am allways receiving this messages. Thanks a lot David

MRTG question on CentOS
by Rogelio 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

I'm trying to get MRTG up and running on CentOS, but the displayed http page says that I don't have permission to access /mrtg/ on the server. Here are my commands yum install mrtg vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/mrtg.conf /etc/init.d/httpd restart cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg public(a)10.200.200.1 mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg (type again, per the MRTG instructions) For what it's worth, when I 'tail /etc/httpd/logs/error_logs", I get the following [Wed Feb 27 15:41:13 2008] [error] [client 10.200.200.58] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/mrtg/ Any suggestions?

installkernel
by Artie Ziff 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hi, I have a question about: /sbin/installkernel I believe this line: LINK_PATH=/boot and usage of this variable... is a bug. What do others say? Using this script, as-is, I would need to chroot to make it work properly for a alternative INSTALL_PATH, right? who the heck is tyson? why did he re-write this? # # /sbin/installkernel - written by tyson(a)rwii.com # Cheers, AZ
