vsifax on Centos 5.1
by Gregory P. Ennis 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

All.... I am trying to install vsifax on a 64 bit Centos 5.1 system. The Esker staff have been helpful but no cigar. At first they thought the problem might be related to a 64 bit machine so I tried to install vsifax on a 32 bit Centos 5.1 machine and received the same error. One of their installation scripts is trying to execute a binary called eula which fails. ./eula: cannot execute binary file The tech support of vsifax advised me they had one other customer use Centos 4.5 and succeeded in a vsifax installation. I was hoping whoever had the other vsifax installation might be listening to this list and could give me a hand. Thanks much!!! Greg Ennis

[OT] Connecting to a Windows server via NFS
by Rick Barnes 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hello, I realize this may be off-topic for this mailing-list, but at this point I am not sure where the problem is continue troubleshooting. We have a server that has Windows Unified Data Storage Server that is supposed the be able to provide NFS shares. I have attempted to setup a NFS share and I think I have it setup correctly on the server. I have the User Mappings created on the Windows server and share setup. When I mount the share from my CentOS server, I get this: # mount -o rw storage:/share /srv/nfs # ls -l total 1 drwx------ 2 4294967294 4294967294 64 Dec 11 14:46 nfs # ls -l nfs ls: nfs: Permission denied My guess would be permissions on the Windows server, but the test it, I have setup "Everyone" to have full control of the share while I test it. If anyone has experience with SFU and would be will to give me some pointers that would be great. Thanks, Rick

I am also trying to select File Open and a dialog box does not pop up to let me open a file. I have straight 5.1 installed. Jerry

Custom Installer Kernel
by Darryl Ross 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi All, I'm trying to remaster the boot.iso image with a custom kernel as the nForce based boards I have are not supported by the stock CentOS 5.0 installer, but they are supported by newer kernels. I need this so I can do kickstarted network installs. Is there a howto available for how to go about this? My google prowess must not be as good as I thought as I've not been able to find anything relevant. Thanks Darryl

yum freezing when removing old kernel
by Dave 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hello, Today i ran a yum update and installed kernel 2.6.18.53.1 from centosplus. I then rebooted to ensure i was running it. I was and went to remove the previous kernel and kernel-devel packages v2.6.18.53 also from centosplus. In both cases yum gets to the running transaction check then hangs, i don't get any errors it just sits there. I have to manually kill the yum process to resolve this. This does not happen with any other package add/removals. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dave.

Kickstart + CentOS 5 = doesn't prompt for network information?
by Ray Van Dolson 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

This may be more appropriate for an upstream list. That said... I'm doing kickstart setups of CentOS 5. My kickstart config includes a network configuration item. Depending on options passed at boot-time, the network config item may or may not include a --hostname option, but always specifies eth0. When I do a kickstart install, I notice that even though I am using 'interactive' (basically so the user can override any of the kickstart settings should they need to), the networking screen never pops up and the values from my network get used. If the usr didn't provide a hostname entry on bootup, then localhost.localdomain gets used as the system hostname. I'd like for the user to be able to select the hostname via the installation wizard as they would normally in a non-kickstart install. Perhaps for CentOS 5 kickstarts I should just not include the network option at all in order to make the network configuration screen accessible inside the installer? Ray

ntpd
by Jason Pyeron 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I am running a server inside of VMWare, and the clock gains ~30 seconds every 1000 seconds or 1.03X. I need to keep the drift under the magic 1000 limit that ntpd kills its self, but despite setting maxpoll really low I get: Dec 11 23:58:14 host ntpd[4909]: kernel time discipline status change 41 Dec 11 23:59:17 host ntpd[4909]: kernel time discipline status change 1 Dec 11 23:59:17 host ntpd[4909]: time correction of -1123 seconds exceeds sanity limit (1000); set clock manually to the correct UTC time. /etc/ntp.conf: server time.intranet.pdinc.us maxpoll 7 Ideas? If I cannot get ntpd working, then I will have to resort to a cron * * * * * rdate -s time.intranet.pdinc.us -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Sr. 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.

Is there anything new on installing centos 5.1 on a 4G thumbdrive? What about the number of writes to the flash? Is that still a problem? Jerry

Problem with driver disk on amd64
by Fridtjof Busse 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi, I have a really strange problem with a driver disk (http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b) on amd64. I'm remotly booting the system via isolinux-files, so I unfortunatly do not have access to relevant logs, all I can see the the primary console/screen. With i386, the driver disk works just fine and I can install via http. But with amd64, the installer complains no driver for the hardware could be found, which again keeps me from installing the system. Due to the lack of RTL8111 hardware, I cannot debug this locally either. Does anybody have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks. -- Fridtjof Busse
