Booting from Compact Flash
by Ray Leventhal 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi all, Advance apologies if this is OT; if so, please mail me offlist. A client is considering using CentOS5.1 for an embedded project. They will be booting from Compact Flash. The CF in the device is being controlled by a VIA VT6421 SATA/RAID controller. Are there drivers available or must we truly 'roll our own' when compiling the 2.6x kernel for this? I've done some searching in the archives and on the site, but to no avail Also, are there any pitfalls we should be aware of up front? (any experience here is better than ours at this point!) Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, -Ray

centos authentication via ldap produces no name shell prompt
by Dave 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hello, I'm trying to set up centos 5.1 to authenticate against an openldap server. I've got the authentication working, in that i can log in as a user contained within the ldap database but not in the system passwd/group files. The problem is instead of a prompt that for example looks like this: (username)@hostname:~/$ i'm getting this: (I have no name)@hostname:~/$ Aside from this everything works, i can finger, use id, etc. It's annoying and i'm thinking it might be a symptom of a misconfiguration. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dave.

HowTo Recover Lost Data from LVM RAID1 ?
by Alain Reguera Delgado 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Guys, The other day while working on my old workstation it got frozen and after reboot I lost almost all data unexpectedly. I have a RAID1 configuration with LVM. 2 IDE HDDs. md0 .. store /boot (100MB) -------------------------- /dev/hda2 /dev/hdd1 md1 .. store / (26GB) -------------------------- /dev/hda3 /dev/hdd2 The only info that still rest in was that, that I restore after the fresh install. It seems that the disk were with problems and weren't syncing :(. I confessed, I didn't check that at first time but after I lost the data and check /var/log/messages I saw that. >From /var/log/messages ...

This computer is old, Celeron 800MHz, 256MB of RAM and IDE disk too. I know that I have to suffer the consequences but if you know some way to recover some data, I'll appreciate it very much. These days I have been reading about: mdamd, and some way to recover but no success. I tried to boot from rescue mode with CentOS 5 first CD and do an fsck to /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdd2. After this something about superblock was told to me and that use the command e2fsck -b 8123 <device> (I don't remember the number exactly) but no success either. Do you have some idea what we can do to recover the data on m1 ? Thanks guys, Cheers, al.

21 Jan '08

Hi, Yesterday I upgraded to latest X release and immediately after installing it before the X restart, my computer froze. when I rebooted it could not reboot with: raid1:sda2: rescheduling sector 185xyz.... The problem was my raid drives was bad. I recovered the data with SystemRescueCD. I use 2x500Gb software raid. Any suggestion for a better way of recovery data? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

simple script idea
by Robert - elists 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi there... Foolish me.... all was going sooooooo well and then I got a wild hair and updated to the latest clamav .92 today. It is possible I should have just done an rpm update install yet there were some changes in ClamAV lately and I didn't know how well that would go. up till now I spec'd and rolled my own Clamav RPMs without milter somewhat recently ClamAV changed from having a clamav-server RPM file to not having it so I went to the magnificent Dag repo and snagged what I needed I did a yum remove and then a yum localinstall What I didn't think about was that the clamav user and group would be deleted and then re-created... which I think poor package management design, yet what do I know. Anyways, would some kind soul point me in the right direction or help me create a script that will traverse the proper parts of the filesystem and grep for files with UID and/or GID 46 please? Ive been fighting this for a coupla hours just scrounging around and fixing what I knew needed to be chown'd based upon errors in the logfiles etc... ;-> Phew!!! Thanks for pointers in advance - rh

modprobe.conf and ipv6
by Robert - elists 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Greetings, Are these still valid modprobe.conf for centos 5 ? alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off Secondly, Are they still valid in centos 5 for the same reasons we put them in the modprobe.conf for centos 4 ? The centos wiki says yes. It used to be a "speedup" issue in centos 4 among other things if I recall correctly. What I don't understand is, if you turn off ipv6 on the NICs, why do we have to do this in modprobe.conf? Thank you in advance. - rh

Trouble with centos4 and jpackage - trying to install tomcat5
by Christopher Thorjussen 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

I've followed the installation instructions from jpackage.org: http://www.jpackage.org/installation.php 1) Install jpackage17.repo in yum.repos.d 2) Install jpackage-utils 3) Install jdk (I installed jdk 1.5.0_14) 4) Install -compat package (I installed java-1.5.0-sun-compat) 5) Select alternatives for java and javac. "/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java" gave me only one option to choose from /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java(c) So I ran "yum install tomcat5" and after some time I got an error: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: jdk = 2000:1.5.0_14-fcs for package: java-1.5.0-sun-compat --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: jdk = 2000:1.5.0_14-fcs is needed by package java-1.5.0-sun-compat I check my jdk: [root@smse2e FILES]# rpm -qa | grep jdk jdk-1.5.0_14-fcs I obviously got the jdk installed. How can I "fix" this? /Christopher Thorjussen
