My server won't boot (grub looping - stage2)
by mbneto 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hi, This morning one of my servers (centos 4.5) refused to boot. The console shows a lopp message grub loading stage2... I've been able to boot from the install CD choosing the rescue option. I can chroot /mnt/sysimage with no problems and even started the services (network, mysql , httpd etc). How can I solve this? I've followed the manual ( http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-gru…) but now just keeps beeping with the GRUB fixed :) I have 3 IDE disks, hda, hde and hdg. My /boot is a raid device /dev/md0 of /dev/(hda2,hde2,hdg2). cat /proc/mdstat shows all disks online and active in the array. I have tried the grub-install --root-directory=boot --no-floppy hd0 (ou /dev/hda). With the same results. Ideas?

Fujitsu RX200 S3
by Camron W. Fox 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Alle, I am trying to install CentOS 5 on a Dual Xeon 5160 FJ RX200 S3. The RAID hardware is an internal LSI MPT 1068 SAS/RAID controller (LSI 1068SASIME-2300). I have downloaded the drivers (mptsas, mptscsih and mptbase) and created the required floppy. When I run linux dd after booting from either the DVD or Disk 1 of the CentOS distro, it says it loads mptsas, mptbase and mptscsih and then comes up with "No drivers of the appropriate type were found", etc... Consequently, the RAID device is not found and no disks are available for installation. When I do this with RHEL5 Disk 1, the drivers load correctly and there is no problem. I went to the LSI Logic site to download the drivers directly from there, but they apparently don't support RHEL5 as of yet for the LSISAS1068. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Add software is hung in Updating Software stage
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

I am looking via the console, and add software is hung. Saying: Updating Sound-Juicer Can't ping the box. I had selected a lot of packages to install (I did a minimal server install initially). Obviously I have to reboot. Question is how do I recover from this?

Help with nis password changes
by Scott Ehrlich 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

I normally try not to ask questions until I have done as much research as possible, and again, this is the case... Just after I thought I had my RH5 samba/nis server working fine, I come across the inability to update nis passwords. >From the server as root: passwd guest1 Changing password for user guest1. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: NIS password could not be changed. passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully For the heck of it: yppasswd guest1 Changing NIS acount information for guest1 on server. Please enter root password: Changing NIS password for guest1 on server. Please enter new password: Please retype new password: Error while changing the NIS password. The NIS password has not been changed on the server. The server was rebooted, but that didn't help. What am I missing? Thanks. Scott

RAID 1 it is. Also, I will do burn in tests, on the RAM and drives, before I begin configuring the box. And, learning how to remove/replace a defective drive is something I should do. Lanny
