CentOS 4.5 (RHEL 4.5) - x86_64 - Login issue
by Tom Brown 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi Strange problem here i think but - I can ssh in to the box fine as root and other users eg oracle BUT i am trying to login to the console to install oracle using X but i cant and i see this in the logs hostname su(pam_unix)[20237]: session closed for user oracle and also hostname login[19841]: Module is unknown so the pwd is not accepted and the connection on the console terminated straight away. I have added this to my pam.d login file session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so So i presume this is what is causing the issue but does anyone know which module may be missing? # rpm -qa | grep pam pam_ccreds-3-3.rhel4.2 pam-0.77-66.21 pam_krb5-2.1.8-1 pam_smb-1.1.7-5 pam_passwdqc-0.7.5-2 thanks

Cannot boot after upgrading to Centos 5.1
by Mogens Kjaer 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

My local centos mirror (ftp.crc.dk) failed to boot after having upgraded from centos 5.0 to 5.1 (i386). It just displays GRUB The cursor is positioned to the right of a space after GRUB, and no input is accepted. I've tried booting in rescue mode and run: chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 This completes without errors, but still it can't boot. It's a HP/Compaq Proliant ML370 with a smartarray 5312 controller. HELP!

Can't build CentOS 5.1 kernel from source
by MHR 04 Dec '07

I pulled down the kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.src.rpm source to build my usual custom kernel (adds NTFS wwrite support) and it does not build. Whether I include the NTFS or just build from the source with no changes (other than make oldconfig and adding the # x86_64 line), I get this error every time: Building modules, stage 2. + mkdir -p /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/usr/lib/debug/boot + mkdir -p /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/usr/lib/debug/boot + mkdir -p /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/boot + install -m 644 .config /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/boot/config- 2.6.18-53.el5.nx + install -m 644 System.map /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root /boot/System.map-2.6.18-53.el5.nx + touch /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/boot/initrd- 2.6.18-53.el5.nx.img + cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5.nx + '[' -f arch/x86_64/boot/zImage.stub ']' + '[' '' == kdump ']' + mkdir -p /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/lib/modules/2.6.18- 53.el5.nx + make -s ARCH=x86_64 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-rootmodules_install KERNELRELEASE= 2.6.18-53.el5.nx + echo '**** GENERATING kernel ABI metadata ****' **** GENERATING kernel ABI metadata **** + gzip -c9 + chmod 0755 /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kabitool + '[' '!' -e /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kabi_whitelist_x86_64 ']' + cp /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kabi_whitelist_x86_64 /var/tmp/kernel- 2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/kabi_whitelist + rm -f /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-kabideps + /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kabitool -b . -d /var/tmp/kernel- 2.6.18-53.el5.nx-kabideps -k 2.6.18-53.el5.nx -w /var/tmp/kernel- 2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/kabi_whitelist nm: net/decnet/built-in.o: no symbols nm: net/dccp/ccids/built-in.o: no symbols nm: net/dccp/built-in.o: no symbols nm: sound/core/built-in.o: no symbols nm: drivers/isdn/hardware/built-in.o: no symbols nm: drivers/i2c/built-in.o: no symbols nm: drivers/media/dvb/built-in.o: no symbols nm: drivers/media/built-in.o: no symbols nm: drivers/scsi/built-in.o: no symbols nm: drivers/net/wireless/built-in.o: no symbols nm: drivers/message/built-in.o: no symbols + echo '**** kABI checking is enabled in kernel SPEC file. ****' **** kABI checking is enabled in kernel SPEC file. **** + chmod 0755 /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/check-kabi + '[' -e /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/Module.kabi_x86_64 ']' + cp /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/Module.kabi_x86_64 /var/tmp/kernel- 2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/Module.kabi + /home/rpmbuild/SOURCES/check-kabi -k /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.nx-root/Module.kabi -s Module.symvers *** ERROR - ABI BREAKAGE WAS DETECTED *** The following symbols have been changed (this will cause an ABI breakage): cfi_varsize_frob unregister_mtd_chip_driver cfi_read_pri register_mtd_chip_driver mtd_do_chip_probe do_map_probe + exit 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.2757 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.2757 (%build) Should I exclude the kabi (and if so why is it not excluded by default)?

[Fwd: dovecot errors after upgrade to 5.1]
by Gregory P. Ennis 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Everyone, Looks like my Centos 5.0 mail server upgraded automatically last night to 5.1. It appears to have worked normally until about 16:00 CST when dovecot began to fail. I have rebooted the system to be able to use the 5.1 kernel, but dovecot still continues to fail. Has anyone else made this observation? My log entries are below Thanks in advance!!!! Greg Ennis ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dec 3 19:11:29 Mail dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc15 starting up Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slo wing down for now Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: imap-login: imap-login: error while loading shared libraries: libsepol.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allo cate memory Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail last message repeated 2 times Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: pop3-login: pop3-login: error while loading shared libraries: libsepol.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allo cate memory Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail last message repeated 2 times Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7342 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7343 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7344 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7345 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7346 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7347 (login) returned error 127 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have SELinux turned on?

Silly question about 5.1
by David G. Miller 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

I just rebooted my desktop system to pick up the 5.1 kernel, etc. One oddity I noticed is that the contents of /etc/redhat-release still says: [root@bend etc]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) but: [root@bend etc]# rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/redhat-release centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 On my CentOS 4 box, /etc/redhat-release says: [dave@fraud ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.5 (Final) Shouldn't /etc/redhat-release on the CentOS 5 box say "5.1?"

Scary memory requirements for 5.1 graphic install
by Robert Moskowitz 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

It is listed as a known issue, but I have a lot of 256Mb systems where I have used the graphic installer.... OUCH! And when this is fixed (I really hope), it will mean some new ISOs to download?
