Adding Things to Rescue Mode
by Brent L. Bates 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

I'd like to add a few things to rescue mode. I'm tired of having to use a floppy with hardware drivers when ever I need to go into rescue mode and there are a few other utilities that I'd like to add as well. How would I go about doing this? Any pointers to FAQ's or "How to's"? I've done some searching, but haven't found anything recent enough to be useful. Thanks for any help. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

Matlab 2007a and C5 out-of-box broken
by Scott Ehrlich 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

I had to reinstall C5 64-bit out-of-box on two machines. Before the reinstall, Matlab 2007a 64-bit worked fine. Now, I get "failed to start the desktop; failure loading desktop class". matlab -nojvm works fine. The reinstall was not an upgrade. I tested on two identical systems - one before I installed the NVIDIA drivers, and one after. No difference. I installed jre and jdk 1_5.0.11 on one system, and redirected /usr/bin/java to the newer one. No luck. I tried installing Matlab as root and sudo, running it as root and plain user. No difference. Web sites aren't helping me much. I performed a complete install (selecting ALL items from EVERY catagory of the C5 64-bit DVD). The machines are not on any network and never will be (both isolated systems) Anyone else with ideas? Thanks. Scott

Re: [CentOS] Can't get ipw2200 to work in CentOS 5 on Dell laptop

I just had occasion to do a fresh install of CentOS 5 on my IBM/Lenovo T42p laptop today (had been upgraded from C4 to C5beta to C5 for testing/QA purposes and was a bit of a mess), so I just went through configuring the IPW2200 from scratch. There is no /usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/network.xpm on my system, but I do not see any errors starting system-config-network from the command line. [root@hazard2 ~]# rpm -ql system-config-network | fgrep network.xpm /usr/share/system-config-network/pixmaps/network.xpm > I don't know how to add the right adapter because it won't allow me to > select the right one or add a new one of the form Intel Coporation > PRO/Wireless 2200BG. Also, it seems to have configured eth1 as an ethernet > device whereas I want it to be a wireless device. So I'm absolutely baffled > and don't know where to go from here - I may just have to stick with > Windows XP for my wireless connection. I simply loaded ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf from RPMforge, added "alias eth1 ipw2200" to /etc/modprobe.conf, rebooted, and the device showed up as eth1/Wireless in system-config-network (both the Devices and Hardware tabs). Listed as "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection" on the Hardware tab. (Comments about needing dkms in an earlier reply were off-base. That was apparently cobwebs from C4 days.) If the IPW2200 is showing up as Ethernet rather than Wireless it is incorrect. You may have leftovers from earlier attempts to install from tarballs. Given that and the other system-level problems noted above, I'd try a fresh install before going to the Redmond OS. Only took about 2 hours here from booting for a network install through a fully-updated and configured Workstation/Development install with additional 3rd-party packages (including Octave from EPEL, octave-forge, Acrobat Reader, Sun Java, Adobe Flash, VMware, and WiFi - cheating a bit - I had other working systems to draw configs from and pre-built local packages for acroread, octave-forge, and Java). Thanks Phil, I might just do a complete re-install of CentOS 5 when I return home from holiday in Spain tomorrow! This attempt to get wifi working has kept me occupied for the last 2 weeks or so (among other things). The problem is, I have to remember exactly what are the correct steps along the way so that I don't end up with the same problem(s)! Andy Sorry you're having such problems. Phil Thanks again! _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------------------------------------------------------------- myhosting.com - Premium Microsoft® Windows® and Linux web and application hosting - http://link.myhosting.com/myhosting

booting CentOS in rescrue mode from USB (+over network)
by Martin Minka 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hello, is there a way to boot CentOS 4.5 from USB flash key in rescue mode ? The prefered solution would be to have booting part of CentOS started by SysLinux and download the content of CD1 from a network server (HTTP), like Anaconda is able to use command "method". Best regards, Martin

Re: [CentOS] Automount configuration problem

I know that you know what you are talking about, but, I don't know what to modify the Subject to, at this time. After reading the Wiki page Akemi referred to, I tried this on the box with the problem and on my box, where it works perfectly: [mailing-lists@dell2400 ~]$ gnome-volume-manager [mailing-lists@dell2400 ~]$ gnome-mount gnome-mount 0.5 The results were identical on both boxes.

So, it *is* something with automount and not a problem in GNOME. I looked at the /etc/sysconfig/autofs in that box and everything is commented out, like on my box. I will be studying the above web page!

I have one other idea: I have only tried this with GNOME. Both boxes also have KDE installed. I want to try it with KDE, to verify that it is an automount problem and *not* a GNOME problem. Lanny
